    Strength

    1RM Weighted Pull-Up

    Let’s find out if all of that pull-up work is paying off!  If you’re working the bands try to go for a strict or kipping pull-up.  If you’re not quite there get some more volume in on the bands.   Do 8 sets of 1-3 Reps  and challenge yourself!

    Strength

    E2MOM for 16 Minutes

    3 Power Cleans ~  70% of your 1RM

    As always, choose a weight that allows you perfect form!  Beginners be careful not to yank the bar off of the floor. Control the weight from the ground and explode after the bar passes your knees.  Pay attention to your catch position, your hips should close a bit and your elbows should be up. Touch and go is optional but not necessary.

    Strength

    Squat Snatch 3×1 ~ 90%.  Work up to 90% of your 1RM and make three lifts at that weight.  Be sure to record your missed attempts as well (if any)!  Work up to 1RM attempt if you have time and energy.

    If you’re new to weightlifting work up to a moderate weight from the hang position.  Start with a power snatch and ride the bar down into your best squat.  

    WOD

    For time 

    20-15-10 of
    Overhead Squats 135/95
    Toes-To-Bar

    Off Ramp WOD

    Use a weight that allows you to achieve multiple reps at full depth.  If you end up doing single reps you probably went to heavy!  Knees-To-Elbows can be subbed for Toes-To-Bar and try doing them on rings if you are having trouble figuring out the kip.
