Skill
EMOM for 10 Minutes
1 squat clean with pause below the knees
Today’s skill work focuses on positional work for the squat clean. Pull the bar from the floor and pause momentarily right before the barbell passes the knees. Receive the bar at the shoulders and drop into a squat prior to standing up and finishing the rep. Remember that this is positional work and not a max out session so start at a conservative weight and increase slowly or hold the same weight across all ten rounds.

Workout notes
Today’s workout is a short time priority couplet with two weight lifting movements. You will need a dumbbell and an unloaded barbell. Each round has a small set of dumbbell snatches and a larger set of light thrusters. The benchmark load has you using a barbell that is actually lighter than your snatch weight so remember that we’re looking for a load light enough that you could easily complete a set of twenty unbroken when fresh. Remember we also have 15lb barbells that you can load up or use a pair of very light dumbbells. The snatch weight can be moderate as you’ll be tackling five on each arm in every round.
