TOP 5 TIPS

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!
