Stimulus
1) If you didn’t complete 20 reps, retry that same weight and aim for 20. If you did complete that weight, look to increase from your attempt on July 12, 2024. If you have not completed a heavy 20 yet, aim for roughly 60% of your 1 RM.
2) This is a grindy, hero WOD with a lot of grip involved. Power cleans should not exceed 60% of 1 RM and can be done as quick singles. The pull-ups can be broken up early to allow for unbroken sets in the last couple rounds. Front Squats should also be broken up in the early rounds and remain unbroken in the last couple.
Extra Credit
4 x 3 Power Snatches @ 70-80% w/ 2 min. rest between sets
