For the strength segment, keep in mind these are not for time AND you can and should rest and reset yourself and your bar for each repetition.  Note that 1 set is 2 reps of each so four sets will look like this:  Round 1 (70% 1RM Snatch) – 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn.

For the conditioning workout, scale pullups with a band as necessary, but stay chest to bar.  Do not rebound on your Box Jumps.   

ENDURANCE WORKOUT tonight at 6pm!

Post Split Squat Loads and Workout Load and Time to Comments
For the strength segment, these are more about movement and full ROM than super heavy load.  If you are comfortable in a lunge position with your foot planted on the floor, try them with the rear foot elevated onto a box.  You should NOT be bailing on any of these.  You can cause serious damage to yourself, your rear leg, and your ego.  And I may just kill you.  Everyone signed a waiver, but don’t be stupid.  Good movement trumps load here.

For the conditioning workout, for the C&J use 85% 1RM.  These are FULL SQUAT CLEANS!  Sub parallette jumps for DUs as necessary.  If it’s necessary you need to keep working on your DUs :)
