Whiteboard of the Day

Today's workout is a fast couplet with a light-to-moderate load.

Complete the snatches in 1-2 sets with a pace of anywhere from 10-20 or more reps per round.

If you are capable of using the Rx'd load but not at this volume, maintain the weight and reduce the snatch volume to either 15-12-9 or 12-9-6 while preserving the stimulus of 1-2 sets each round.

Shoot for a box jump pace of 10-20 reps per minute. If this is unlikely during the workout, reduce the box height to as short as just a few stacked plates on the ground. If you're unable to jump, substitute box step-ups.

Expect each of these movements to make the other more challenging. Driving through the legs to snatch the bar overhead will fatigue the legs before the box jumps and vice-versa.

In the warm-up, we'll build in load with a 15-minute EMOM of 1 power snatch. Build to a heavy single, but know that whatever load you work up to you'll have to repeat for 3 singles on the minute at the end of the EMOM.
