…
[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.
