Muscle snatch from the hip
BTN snatch grip strict press
Paused overhead squat
Narrow grip paused overhead squat
With a light load, 2x5 reps of each

MAIN TRAINING
(PRIORITY- This is always the main focus of the day)
A1: Hang power snatch + low hang power snatch, 1+1 EMOM x 6 minutes
A2: Hang squat snatch + low hang squat snatch, 1+1 EMOM x 6 minutes
A3: Choose your weakest lift of the 4 above, 2 reps EMOM x 6 minutes
Notes: For A1 and A2 you can build slightly over the sets but focus more on movement than load.
For A3 use about 85% of your heaviest lift of the movement you choose. You can rest 2-3 minutes
between A1, A2 and A3 as you change the load.
C: ‘First Cut’
4 Rounds for time:
Run 400m
3 legless rope climbs
7 Squat snatch 185/130lbs
Time cap: 20 minutes
Scaling:
Games athletes: Do not do this workout again, make up your own weakness workout with a
smiler time frame.
Sanctional athletes: As above
RX athletes: 2 LL rope climbs + 7 squats snatch @ 135/95lbs
Beginner athletes: 3 rope climbs + 7 squat snatch @ 115/85lbs
Notes: I know that there are a bunch of you that fancy a go at this workout to see how you stack
up. Remember, the athletes at the games were using slightly thicker ropes and because they
started on a crash mat it was very hard to jump to start your rep. Choose an appropriate scale so
that you can get through at least 3 rounds in 20 minutes.
2:
Strict ring muscle ups, 1-4 reps x 5-10 sets (do not exceed 20 reps)
Notes: Focus on a very clear lockout at the bottom and top position, make them look ‘Instagram
perfect’. Beginners should use the low rings for banded reps.
3:
Ring false grip hang, 3x0:20
Ring support hold, 3x0:30
STRENGTH X POWER

Sanctional: 280/200w
RX: 260/180
Beginner: 230/150w

Notes: Maintain the same weight for each block of lifts (If the % increase is too big jump you can
use the first minute of the new block to make a smaller increase) The % here are just a guideline
so go up or down 5% if needed.
Notes: There shouldn’t be too much need to scale here. Treat each part as a new workout and go
as hard as you can. We are looking at our work:recovery ability here.

(PRIORITY- This is always the main focus of the day)

Notes: Choose from an option below depending on how good your mobility is. Do not move to a
more advanced version if you can not perform the ‘easier’ version with solid technique. Athletes
that are not restricted by mobility can add heavier load to each set.

Notes: I can already hear the complaints as I sit and type this workout! You need to push hard on
this but not so hard that you ‘red line’ in set 1 and can not maintain a decent level of consistency.
You should have 6 scores to note from this workout, 3 sets of the thruster/burpee couplet and 3
sets of the bike.
