Coaches Notes
For this one you will start each round with 30 DU or Single Unders. We are trying to be steady and consistent here. Even if you find yourself needing to reset 1-2 times, make it brief and focus on staying as relaxed as possible.
Next you have the snatch or ground to overhead. If you go with the barbell option, pick a weight that you can go unbroken for at least the first few rounds. You may find yourself moving to 2 quick sets or fast singles towards the end. Just remember to keep that bar close to the body, drive through your full foot, and jump the weight overhead with a strong lock out each time.
Now if you go with the plate option, there is a great opportunity for limited transition. Holding a plate on its outer edges, like a stearing wheel, you will point one end towards/touching the ground and set up. Heels are glued to the floor, chest is up, and your hips are pulled down enough to keep your back flat. From here it is just like the snatch. Drive your feet through the floor aggressively, jumping the plate over head in one big motion. As you do this, the plate will rotate until you are holding it overhead with your palms facing the ceiling. Bring it back down close to the body, touch the ground, and go again!
This will allow you to go directly from the snatches into the OH lunges if you choose to. Once you get that plate overhead, keep pressing toward the ceiling throughout your lunges. If your elbow starts to bend, it means you need a quick shake out or you may need something lighter. While you are lunging, remember to start your lunges from a wider stance (squat stance) and step straight out/back from there to ensure a good foundation to keep your balance.
