Today, we look to increase distance, load and skill every 2 rounds. Move quickly in the first 2 rounds, but not at a sprint pace. Need to make sure you have enough gas in the tank for the longer, harder rounds. As weight goes up on the Power Snatch, rely on speed through the middle (fast hip extension) to do most of the work. On the increasing pull up skills, you may find you’ll have to break up the sets more as the movements get harder. That’s fine as long as you keep the rest to a minimum.
Scaling Options:
Run -> 250M row per 200m of running
Pull Ups -> Banded Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups -> Ring Rows
Bar Muscle Ups -> Burpee 2 Kipping Pull Ups -> Burpee 2 Jumping Pull Ups
Bar weight -> as needed, just make 3 jumps through WOD
