    10 minutes of handstand practice

    Break out your favorite handstand drills and have fun! Kick-ups, cartwheels, wall walks, freestanding walks, push ups, shoulder taps: anything is fair game. If you’re newer to the skill, your coach will help you learn the basics with planks and wall walks.

    AMRAP in 10 minutes:

    *Every minute, complete 10 wall balls

    EMOM for 10 minutes:
    2 power snatches with a 3 second pause in the catch

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 8 minutes:
    20 lateral burpees
    20 deadlifts

    Select your deadlift weight so that you can always finish 20 reps in no more than 2 or 3 sets without compromising form or range of motion. Be smart about your pacing here; although this workout is shorter, it is long enough that an all-out pace will drop off very quickly.

    calories on bike or rower

    Skill
    EMOM for 10 minutes
    1 power snatch + 1 squat snatch
    or
    2 power snatches

    You’ll be completing two lifts every minute today for ten minutes. You can choose between two power snatches or one power snatch and a squat snatch. It’s up to you if you want to link the reps together or drop the bar between reps. Either way make sure you complete both lifts within 30 seconds. Squat snatching is a lot more demanding on mobility, skill and strength so if you are new to these lifts it might be good to start with the power version today.

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 10 minutes
    100 alternating dumbbell snatches
    50 box jumps

    Skill
    EMOM for 10 minutes
    1 squat clean + 1 push press

    Let the push press dictate your weight changes today. Focus on a vertical dip before driving the bar straight up as you squeeze your legs tight and press the bar out. Make sure not to drop under the bar and end up doing a push jerk.

    Workout of the Day
    for time *
    10-1
    thrusters
    lateral burpees

    *15 minute time cap

    Keep your bar light today and focus on moving fast. If you are wanting to complete the burpees as prescribed make sure to jump over the bar laterally after each rep. A good scaling option for burpees is to cut the jump and complete the reps in place. Choose a weight for the thruster that allows you to complete the big sets unbroken at the beginning of the workout. Your score will be the time it takes you to complete all the work. There is a fifteen minute time cap but do your best to choose scaling options that allow you to finish in under 15 minutes. If you hit the time cap add all your left over reps to the 15:00 time cap.
