WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Build To a Heavy Clean

  1. Technique Drills

    • High Hang Power Cleans: Focus on a quick and explosive hip extension.
    • Mid-Thigh Power Cleans: Emphasize proper bar path and speed.
  2. Build-up Sets

    • Start with a weight that allows for easy, controlled lifts.
    • Gradually increase the weight in small increments.
    • Aim for 3-5 reps per set, maintaining good form.
  3. Heavy Singles Approach

    • Take adequate rest between sets to ensure full recovery.
    • As the weight increases, progress to your heavy single, focusing on explosiveness and technique.

Grettel:Goal: Efficiently complete each round, managing fatigue and maintaining form.

Round Breakdown:

  1. Clean and Jerks:Break these into manageable sets. Consider singles or doubles to maintain form and prevent excessive fatigue.
  2. Burpees Over the Bar:Move at a steady pace, finding a rhythm to conserve energy.
