…
[10:00-30:00] Unfatigued Skill Work
Coach’s Notes: Pick a skill / category of movement (e.g. Double Unders, Handstands, Muscle-Up Turnover, Snatch Technical Work) and practice skill-related components. This means to choose elements of a skill that aren’t super physiologically challenging, since today is your recovery day.
For example, if your snatch turnover needs refinement, practice PVC & empty bar drill (e.g. snatch balance, snatch drops, slow motion pulls) rather than performing working sets of snatches.
Don’t know where to start? Check out the resources in the Movement Library (and/or) consult my help in The Whiteboard.

(Rest 3:00)
Coach’s Notes: This is the same structure of AMRAPs from 2 weeks ago, but now the working time per set is reduced (4min to 3min) however the total work increased from 2 sets to 3 sets. The goal is to pace this similarly to what you did for two weeks ago, but allow for more total work to be accumulated. Start set 1 @ 75% effort and allow your RPE to climb as you get deeper into the workout.
