Workout of the Day
STRENGTH
2 (Squat) Snatches + 1 Overhead Squat
Notes
Take 15 minutes to work on the above complex. The snatches can be done as singles, resetting from the floor.
Start with light loads that allow you to focus on power, speed, coordination, accuracy, and balance. If all that’s consistent, then build in weight.
PARTNER METCON
60-40-20 Reps For Time of:
Alternating Dumbbell Snatches (50/35/20#)
Single Arm Dumbbell Thrusters
Calorie Row
Notes
Intent < 20 min
Partners accumulate the rep counts listed as a team for each movement before moving on to the next. Round 1 is 30 reps per person, per movement. Divide the work into small sets as desired.
Example:
Partner A 10 alternating snatches
Partner B 10 alternating snatches
x 3 sets = 30 each, 60 total
Partner A 5 SA DB Thrusters – L
Partner B 5 SA DB Thrusters – L
Partner A 5 SA DB Thrusters – R
Partner B 5 SA DB Thrusters – R
x 3 sets = 30 each partner (15 each arm!), 60 total reps as a team
And so on…
Once the round of 60 is complete, athletes complete 40 reps of everything (20 each partner), and then finish with the round of 20.
Scale the load of the DB today such that you can complete at least 10 snatches and 5 SA DB thrusters at a time.
If the 60 calorie row is tracking to take your team longer than 5 minutes, consider scaling the reps back slightly (54-36-18).
