  WORKOUT (~12:30)

TIPS

Every 2:30 for 12:30 (5 sets)
1 Power snatch + 1 squat snatch + 1 overhead squat
Compare to May 5, 2021

Notes The first set is intended to be moderate and the load should feel heavy by set 3 with a max being achieved on set 4 or 5. The bar may be dropped between the power snatch and the squat snatch. Beyond the heavy lifting element of this session strive to maintain sound mechanics on all sets and decrease the load if this is compromised. Movement Options If performing an overhead squat or squat snatch presents a safety concern or leads to a significant technique issue, change to 3 power snatches. Or choose a power clean + squat clean + front squat variation. Minimal Equipment Options *Use dumbbells or kettlebells building up in load over each set and using the clean variation.

Set #1 = 50#

Set #2 = 55#

Set #3 = 60#

Set #4 = 60#

Set #5 = 60#

Tough workout today. I thought jump roping had gotten easier. But all those singles really made my legs ache.

Oh well, have a good day everyone.
