WOD – Tue, Apr 29

Intent

Today we will explore the hang clean and jerk strength! The goal is to prime the system for one of the more advanced movements coming in the conditioning today but also build our ability to do it well and do it heavy. The intention is to refine mechanics and build confidence. No need to smoke a PR prior to the WOD today, you’ll need plenty of juice for the 3 separate 21-15-9 couplets that await you. The time domain will be longer today, with a very short transition period after the conclusion of each couplet. Notice I didn’t say rest–I know 1:00 isn’t enough to be called that! A very general consideration for scaling would be, can you complete each couplet in under 5:00? If it’s a closer consideration, go for it, if you don’t think you can even be close to that then consider scaling first the difficulty of the movement and keep the reps, or both the difficulty and the reps if needed.
