    Skill
    EMOM for 10 minutes:
    Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean

    Focus on a tall, fully extended position in the jump on the hang squat clean, and then try to maintain that same level of extension when you take the second rep from the floor.

    Workout of the Day
    8 rounds:
    1:00 row or bike for calories
    1:30 rest

    Your minute of work should be an all-out sprint today. Practice going very hard. If two people want to share a machine, the second person can work in the middle of the 1:30 rest interval, using the 15 seconds on either side to transition on and off.

    If you aren’t comfortable working at an all-out sprint and feel like you wouldn’t get a good workout in with just 8 minutes on the machine, consider holding in a plank for a minute during the rest period.

    Skill
    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.

    Workout of the Day
    AMRAP in 10 minutes:
    Alternating Dumbbell Snatches*
    *Every minute, complete 10 wall balls

    Pick a medicine ball weight that lets you complete 10 wall balls unbroken every round. Your score is the sum of your dumbbell snatch reps; the wall balls don’t count towards that total.

    max rounds in remaining time of
    50 double unders
    25 sit-ups

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

    Use the pause as a chance to assess your catch position, and make sure that you’re stable and motionless before standing up to finish each rep.

    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.
