...
Add 1 Barbell Rep Each Round

Barbell: 115 / 85 lb

Stimulus
  • Overview: Ascending ladder of power snatches and overhead squats means the first few rounds are going to fly by! Playing it smart early will pay off in the last 2 minutes of this piece when you can still make a final push for reps and close out strong.
  • Power Snatches: Weight should be one that you could cycle for 10 or more reps when you're fresh.
  • Overhead Squats: Unbroken sets.
  • No rebounding box jumps.
  • Score: Total rounds plus reps.
Strategy
  • Athletes should choose a weight that they could do 10 or more reps of power snatches unbroken fresh, but may end up choosing to do fast singles to limit shoulder fatigue during this piece.
  • Break on your power snatches with 1 rep left in the tank so that you can use the final power snatch in your set to get the barbell overhead for your unbroken set of overhead squats.
  • Choose where to catch your breath ahead of time, wherever you are more comfortable controlling your pace and moving as smooth as possible through your sets.
