Snatch Practice

Snatch Practice. Not for time - practice your form to dial it in tighter - numbers are really secondary with this workout. Really focus of form: proper starting position, then jump with arms as straps, shrug and rack as you drop under weight with elbows pointed forward. Then just stand like the second half of a front squat. That's all - ballet with a bar.

Practice the posted Snatch Progressions first.
Then, snatch in sets of 10/8/6/4/2/1 reps. Permit recovery of several minutes between sets.

Post your 1 RM & compare to 1/13 and/or 12/8 and/or 11/2 11.02.16

Double Tabata Run/Pushup/Situp

New workout Chipper Double Tabata Style. This is a spin off of a Single Tabata WOD we did in Dec 2010. I decided to modify it to a Double Tabata so we have ample time to get on and off the treadmills.

5 Rounds of 40 secs on/20 sec rest for 2 sets of:

1. Treadmill run (score is lowest mph)
2. Situps (score is lowest # reps/set)
3. Pushups (score is lowest # reps/set)

Rest exactly 5 mins between sets

Note: Modifications are to have 40 sec of running then 20 sec of rest. The sit-ups and pushups are to be done together back to back in a 40 sec interval with 20 sec rest after . So do 20 sec of sit-ups and without rest switch as fast as possible and complete as many push-ups as possible for the remainder of the 20 sec and then rest for 20 sec.

Total score is (MPH score)(Pushups + Situps)

Example: (6mph)(10 pushups +10 situps) = 120

Post your score and if any Mods/Scal.
