Approach this mini-chipper with a plan, folks!  Coming out too hot will lead to some misery on the back side of the WOD, so rather, find steady pacing on the bike and manageable chunks on the wall balls early on so when you hit those moves on the back side, you still have some juice left.

Re-test week trucks on as we see if our recent Oly cycle helped our Oly lifts!  Remember, don’t get too wrapped up in your head with trying to break your PR.  Go for “heavy for today”.  If it happens to end with a new PR, cool!  If it doesn’t, as long as you finish the day injury-free, then today was a win!!!  Needs some motivation?

Last time hitting our Sumo Deadlifts before we re-test our 5X5.  Today, the goal is to start with a heavy set of 5, then follow that with an even heavier set of 4, then an even heavier set of 3, then an even heavier double, then finish with the heaviest single you have in you today.  If that becomes a new 1RM, even cooler!

WOD:

AMRAP 15:

3 Power Snatch (115/80)

6 Overhead Squats

9/7 Ski Erg

Video courtesy of Marc Pro.

Something to chew on in your nugget: your movement for a Power Snatch is the exact same as what you do for a Squat Snatch, just you are hitting the brakes way sooner as to not drop below parallel.  So, all the work you just did in the Strength work should set you up for success in both the Power Snatch and OHS. In the Ski Erg, try not to get the heart rate too high.

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 95/65 -> as needed (ELITE: 135/95)
