WOD: 1) Squat Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Use this as an opportunity to establish a 1RM Squat Snatch. Regardless of whether or not you can Power or Squat Snatch more, we want you working on Squat Snatches today. Warm-up appropriately to heavy singles. For today we are looking for 1 of your reps to be your current 1RM, and then for you to hit 6 other reps at 80% or more of that weight. Rest no more than 2 minutes between sets. 2) “Amanda”- 9-7-5 – AQAP: Muscle-ups Squat Snatch 135/95 If you can’t do a Muscle-up you will sub out 2 Pull-ups and 2 Push-ups per Muscle-up.

WOD: 1) Overhead Squat: 5-5-3-2-2-1-1-1 Use these 8 sets as an opportunity to build up to and establish a current 1RM Overhead Squat. Make sure your beginning sets of 5-5-3 should still be reasonably heavy sets, don’t go super light on them. Rest approximately 2 minutes between sets. Focus on keeping everything tight the entire time from taking the bar out of the rack to standing up the last inch of the squat. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcfj2E2vgLI 2) “Nancy”- 5 rounds AQAP: 400m Run 15 Overhead Squats 95/65 Extra Work: 3) Stiff Leg Deadlift: 3 x 15 If you have never done these make sure you go light, these will light up your hamstrings.
