Working my way through the programming a bit later than others but had a question with regards to the viking sloth press… How can I set it up at a gym? I don’t have the piece of aparatus that seems to be the hinge point in the video

For the snatch, is it a power snatch or are we diving under to a squat?

Hi all. A couple of questions. With the prowler sprint, my sled is a tyre so I don’t have posts. Would you recommend holding the straps as if you were pushing the prowler and dragging the tyre that way?
Second, is the one arm press and snatch supposed to done with dumbells or barbell?
Thanks.

The 1-arm oress is with a barbell https://instagram.com/p/_upHIni87D/
Find a creative way to push that thing 🙂

So is it alright to get down low and push? I was just wondering because that might’ve targeted different muscles than intended? Always learning.. 🙂

It’s impossible for me to say because it depends on the sled and parking lot
