Strength Cycle: Cycle 4 – Week 4
WOD 1
AMRAP 12
L: 20; S: 30 Air Squats
10 Power Cleans – L: 105/65; S: 155/105lbs
5 T2B (S: BMU)
*Fourth MetCon Monday! For this first workout, the air squats need to be fast, steady on the PCs and 2 sets or less on the T2B/BMUs. Hint: we’re doing pullups tomorrow, that’s why the sub for BMU is T2B today. Goal should be 3+ Rounds.
WOD 2
E2M16M
10 Power Snatch – 75/55 (S: 2-DB Snatch – 50/35)
L: 6; S: 10 Burpees
*For WOD 2, the trick is moving steadily without blowing up your heart rate. We want you to be confident moving those DBs by the time the Open starts. Try the sumo-stance DB snatch as it’s a little easier on the ole’ legs. Also, experiment with Sport reps on the burpees!
