Coaching Tips: Power snatch to overhead squat is acceptable for all levels, but squat snatches are preferred if they can be done with correct form. For severe mobility issues, a power/muscle clean plus front squat should be used (at a slightly larger load). Ring dips need to have full lock out at the top and the bicep/ shoulder should touch the top of the ring every rep. Practice kipping before the workout starts if you don’t have this skill down yet. Push the pace on the shuffles to keep the intensity up. Getting complacent here will slow the workout down significantly and reduce intensity!
Optional ‘Cash Out’: 50m farmer carry, 15 burpees, 3 rounds
