WOD – Thu, Oct 9

Intent

Heavy touch-and-go snatching, skill focus on mobility and barbell positioning and muscle up development! 2 for 1 today with strength and skill. The goal is simply to get stronger, and even practice heavy lifting under some shoulder stamina challenges. Pick variants of the muscle up that not just challenge you but actually progress you.

Strength & Skill (Weight)

“Amanda Skills” (28:00–52:00)

Every 3:00 x 8 sets

5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2
Snatch. All touch and go reps. Focus on bar speed, consistency, and control.

*Score is heaviest set of 2

**During remainder of the working window, practice ring muscle up skills/scales and progressions. If you have RMU, how many quality reps can you accumulate during the sets combined while still challenging your snatch load? If you are scaling them, how progressive can we make this day of work that allows for progress and challenge of the hardest version for you today.
