Training notes:
•Increase the reps each set in first five minute AMRAP. Reps must remain unbroken. If you fail, rest until you think you can try again.
•Choose a weight for each AMRAP that is challenging but doable. You should have to think about pacing, but not be failing tons of reps.

PERFORMANCE
A1. Slow snatch
4×3; Building; Rest 1 min
A2. Double KB front rack step-ups to 24”/20”
4×16, alternating; Rest 1 min
Training notes:
Slow snatch
•Goal of the slow snatch is to clearly segment out the second pull and the third pull. This will be awkward at first. Try to use the feeling of the muscle snatches that we’ve been working on to make this work.
•Reset each rep on the slow snatch – not touch-and-go.
•Thumbs between collar bones on KB front rack.

Training notes:
•Top barbell weight should be challenging but not terribly heavy. Adjust weights for other barbells based upon that.
•Set up plates such that you can easily build barbell weight without having to switch a bunch of plates around.
•Make sure that extra plates are set up away from the barbell while working – we don’t want anyone dropping a barbell on their plates and having it skip around.
