Athlete Notes:
You should be feeling much stronger with your rope climbs and strict handstand push-ups if you’ve been following the skill-based movement primers. We’re sticking with the progression, and as long as you’re making improvements each week, that’s all we’re hoping to see.
After you snatch today, you’ll have a solid test of your overhead strength endurance. If you are able to use the ski erg, definitely use it. It is going to make this workout harder, but is great for helping you learn how to pace before going into more upper body movements. If you have a compromised overhead squat position, this workout is going to get really hard. The more you’re able to stack load comfortably over joints in the overhead squat the better it will be for you all. Find a good position to be efficient and it’ll pay huge dividends going into the handstand walks.
