The goal of this session is speed. I want you to try to hammer through these skills as quickly as possible. Being fast here also means you have to be in control and limit mistakes. Once you know you can get through this without mistakes, then start pushing the pace – we want to see you get the speed wobbles in these sessions and learn how to modulate your speed of movements so that you’re not just stuck in the same pace every time a movement comes up.

Strength Accessory Option

3-5 Kettlebell Bicep Curls

Smart choice! Sometimes its better to let your body rest and recover. Theres nothing worse than hammering your CNS and prolonging illness. hope you feel better come Monday!

Once you hit your max from the blocks it’s ok to drop the load then work back up to your working weight.

Still some solid work today! ?

PM:
No blocks and every time I attempt to build makeshift blocks it’s really unsafe. Took from the hang above the knee and built to 165. These were a little sticky. Then went straight into: 4×1 at 165 from the floor. No misses. These felt better.
Snatch Deadlift Combo done at 168.
Back Squats 5×6 E3MOM Done at 245.

Good work. I’d rather see you kip than just spend a bunch of un needed time next to the wall and lose the stimulus of the training.

Primary Strength A. N/A B1. Snatch from Blocks – 155 B2. Snatch @ 155 OOXO C. Snatch Complex – 195 D1. Back Squats – 255/290/310/330 D2. Back Squat EMOM – 275 Notes: Finally back at it after my back has been a mess all week. Focus today on snatches was limiting my foot movement (have videos for feedback). I notice that my feet go wide and it causes me to drop slower into the catch position so trying to limit movement while keeping full extension. Back squats were a bit of a shock. Definitely had some ugly ones when I… Read more »
