PART B: WOD
3 Sets: AMRAP 6 Minutes
7 Power Snatches (50/35kg)
100m Run/ 150 Row/ 8/6Cal AB
48 Double Unders
-rest 2 minute between sets-
TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high to high intensity
Target Reps each set: 268/256+ (3 rounds + Snatches and Row)
Minimum Reps before scaling each set: 237/228 (3 rounds)
STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Intensity should be moderate-high. Push for a steady pace, but don’t fall off the tracks early; aim for sustainable effort across all three AMRAPs. Think about consistency: Treat the first round of each AMRAP as a “test pace” and hold that effort. Stay focused on efficiency in transitions; don’t waste time moving between movements. Use the rest period as a chance to reset mentally and physically; start the next AMRAP fresh and ready.
How it should Feel: CARDIO. The moderate barbell load, light row, and high-skill double-unders will challenge pacing and breathing without overwhelming one area.
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Power Snatch: Weight is light (ideally under 60% of 1RM) where we should aim for quick singles or small touch’n go sets throughout. Be efficient with the bar path and explode with the hips on each rep.
Row/Ski: Set a sustainable pace that doesn’t put you in a cardio deficit. The goal should be to finish every round in under 50 seconds
Control your breathing here to recover from the snatches but maintain a steady output. Avoid sprinting and try for the same pace throughout.
Double Unders: Unbroken on all sets would be great. Make sure you lay your jump rope down in the easy to grab spot for easy transition in the next round.
Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.
Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.
Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.
