Coaching Tips: The squat snatches will be challenging, but keep in mind that there is a minute rest each round. This will enable you to use a bit heavier load and still be somewhat ‘refreshed’ before hitting the barbell. The grip will be a factor for some, so break up the hang cleans if necessary. Make sure you finish each rep on the dumbbell cleans with the elbows in front of the dumbbells. Keep arms at your sides for the double unders so that you can save your shoulders for the later rounds.
Optional ‘Cash Out’: none
