Athlete Notes:
Sandbag Saturday! This is a fun semifinals workout that you will have the opportunity to compare efforts with. Most athletes tackling “Back to Back” will be limited by how quickly they can get right back on the sandbag. It is ok to break the wall balls 1-2 times every set as long as you are disciplined in keeping your breaks to 2-4 seconds. You want to really be able to hammer the 33 total sandbag cleans which can suck up time if too fatigued going into them. You will have a similar strategy on the second part as well. Make sure you perform the toes to bar only at a pace that allows you to immediately pick up the sandbag and go unbroken there.
