🔍 What’s in Today’s WOD?

  • Warm-Up: Perfect your overhead positioning and stability with snatch grip push presses, muscle snatches, and paused overhead squats.

  • Strength Work: Snatch cycles to develop consistency and power, culminating in a heavy EMOM at 80–90%.

  • Fitness Workout: A two-part circuit alternating between gymnastic strength and cardio. Pull-ups, shuttle runs, wall walks, and rowing will keep your heart rate up while challenging your upper body.

  • Extra Work: Accessory strength exercises like dumbbell rows and banded curls to round off the session.


🚀 Pro Tips for Success

  1. Warm-Up Focus: Use the pause at the bottom of your OHS to dial in balance and mobility.

  2. Snatch Session: Focus on technique at lighter weights. As the load increases, ensure you maintain a strong catch position.

  3. WOD Strategy: Break reps into manageable sets for gymnastic movements. Find a steady pace during cardio to sustain effort through all rounds.

  4. Extra Work: Pay attention to form during rows and curls for maximum strength-building benefits.


💡 Coach’s Tip: Consistency in form during snatch lifts is crucial. If you're feeling off, reduce the weight and focus on technique rather than maxing out.
