WOD – Tue, Jan 27

Intent

(0-5):

Today we refine the mechanics and capacity of snatch cycling. All reps today are above parallel for power snatches, the goal is to build as you see fit but to start a “moderate” load for your abilities. It is better to challenge yourself and learn now what kind of weight you are capable of doing for linked reps. In today’s conditioning the barbell takes a seat and we replace it with the DB. The mechanics remain similar but now we transition to one side and less focus on jumping and punching under and more focus on saving as much energy as possible while still completing reps as steadily as possible. The rep scheme is a lot early, the best strategy is to break up reps early and often but to keep the rest minimal. If you wait until later to rest or pause, the rest periods get longer and typically lead to slowing. Breathe through the sit ups and swing the arms to save the midline a bit. You’ll need it later and for the snatches.
