    Strength
    Squat Snatch 3×1 ~ 80%

    Work up to about 80% of your best and make 3 lifts at that weight.  Move up in small increments and be sure to record any misses you make on the way up.  Continue on up to a 1RM attempt if you have time and things are going well.

    New lifters should work the complex Power Snatch + Overhead squat starting with a light weight and try to ride the barbell down into the bottom of the squat.   Move up in weight when you have the movement down.

    Skill

    E2MOM for 10 Minutes
    A sustainable set of  Kipping Toes-To-Bar then immediately do 30 Double Unders(or a max set if less than 30). Rest for the remaining time in each round.

    For the TTB work on timing your swing with your knees tucked to your chest and then extending the toes at the bar.  Don’t worry about the total number of reps but focus on good sets of repeated swings.  Scale the movement by performing knees to elbows, or knee tucks on the rings.

    If you are still struggling with Double Unders.  Attempt a few in about 30-45 seconds of work. You never know when they are going to click.  Try to get as many as you can during that time.
