WODprep Strategy Top Tips:
Power Snatches (135/95 lbs):
- Choose an appropriate weight that you can handle with good form throughout the workout. It should be challenging but not so heavy that it slows you down significantly.
- Break up the reps strategically. Consider doing 4 sets of 2 reps or 3 sets of 3 reps if you’re comfortable with those numbers. Rest briefly between sets.
- Focus on maintaining a strong, explosive hip drive and good technique to minimize fatigue.
Box Jump Overs (24″/20″):
- Approach the box jumps with a steady rhythm. Don’t rush, but avoid taking excessive breaks.
- Use a two-footed take-off unless you have a specific reason to use a single-footed approach.
- Land softly and rebound quickly to conserve energy. If you’re feeling fatigued, step up and over the box as needed.
Calorie Ski Erg:
- The Ski Erg can be taxing, so try to find a sustainable pace from the beginning.
- Don’t over-pull the handles; focus on smooth and efficient strokes.
- Use your legs, core, and arms in coordination for each pull.
- Keep an eye on the monitor to gauge your calorie count and adjust your pace accordingly.
