STIMULUS
– Conditioning Category: Sprint
– The weight on the bar should be a moderate load. Something that you could complete 10+ unbroken squat snatches with when fresh.
– We want at least 30s on the bar each round. If you are still working on the gymnastics at the 1:30 mark on any round, let’s move right to the barbell.
– If you cannot complete 20 push-ups unbroken when fresh, let’s reduce the reps to 10-15.
– Score will be total reps of squat snatchs across all 6 rounds.
STRATEGY
1. We are looking for hard efforts each round in order to buy us some time on the barbell.
2. Find a steady, fast pace on the air squats.
3. Aim for 1-3 quick sets on the push-ups.
4. Aim for 1-2 sets on the chest to bar.
5. Chip away at singles on the barbell.
