THE WORKOUT?
TOP 5 TIPS
1. Watch the Open announcement with Ramirez VS Paladino
This will give you a good idea on how this workout affects high level athletes. Both athletes approached the workout differently and have some great tips post workout. If you missed the live announcement you can still view it here:
2. Save your grip
HOOK GRIP & TAPE.
3. Breathing and pacing
The light snatches in this workout can spike your heart rate in a heartbeat. Unless you are an athlete that thrives in their dark place, it’s important to remember to breathe, pace and WOD smart. You might even want to consider getting your heart rate up a bit more in your warmup so it doesn’t hit all at once!
4. Transition Time
5-10 seconds can be easily wasted in this workout. Attack the snatches with those 3 bar muscle ups in mind. Unbroken snatches won’t matter if you need a break before you can get onto the bar muscle ups.
5. Bar muscle ups!
Even if you don’t have them, give them a go. You might just surprise yourself on this one!
GEAR TIPS
Snatch
- Lifting belt. I know they are light snatches, but there is a ton of hinging and a belt can help you save your back. Velcro is always pretty pro for quick metcons.
- Tape for that hook grip!
Bar Muscle-Ups
- Wear Grips, they can save you time if you usually need to chalk it up. WODies, Jaw Grips, Natural Grips or Leather Grips. All solid choices.
