Open Annoucements
Each Thursday night of the Open I will publish a strategy guide as a post. It will involve the same components as The Name Game videos (e.g. Setup, Standards, Strategy) but will be in text form so I can update it as I get more information about strategy & pacing.
This is what the schedule will look like in The Protocol during the Open…
Monday: Hard Training Day (or) Open Workout ReTest
Tuesday: Hard Training Day
Wednesday: Moderate Training Day
Thursday: Light Training Day
Friday: Open Test Day
Saturday: Moderate Training Day

Coach’s Notes: The goal should be to move through the snatches at a high turnover then hit a bigger set of BMU and -in any remaining time- chip away. If you don’t have a BMU yet, complete CTB. The reason being, this piece is meant to be grip intensive.
