PART 1:
NOTE: The open begins next week. Continue to keep the volume low and focus on putting 100% effort into each day’s training to prepare for the upcoming 5 weeks of Open testing.

To be done 45 minutes before class

1-1-1-1-1

Power Snatch
1-1-1-1-1

-Build across all 15 reps, adding weight each time.

PART 2:

Do the gym programming (RX’d or competitor) for the day.
-Hit this workout with everything you’ve got. Practice pacing and breaking sets/reps with a smart strategy. Next Friday it will no longer be practice, but game time!

Rest 20 minutes

2 Rounds for quality:
50 Band “Pull aparts”
1 min HS hold
2 min Plank

– Goal is to cool down and strengthen our shoulders after today’s training. The “pull aparts” are holding a band at chest level with arms straight. Pull arms outwards staying level with the chest, return and repeat at a fairly rapid pace.

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.
