Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Monday 3/2/15

May split day into 2 sessions if possible:
1) AM: Squats, Skill &/or Core Quota.  Optional gymnastics skill work.  Daily stretch/mobility.
2) PM: Oly lifts & Auxiliary  (pulls) and optional WODs (heavy leg/back taxing fits best here). Can also place quota work here.
*Note: Lift % based on top classical lifts.  In some cases Work sets listed only.  In general the % are only a guideline (and usually a ‘conservative ‘one) and will vary from person to person.  Try to match the ‘conservative %’ and in weeks 2 and 3, try to match or beat week 1 w/reps or weight).
*Individual edits and adjustments can be made for your needs (to program and %).  Communicate with your coaches and never assume!
A)     Snatch: to top x3,x2,x1x7-10 singles (60s rests on singles after re-setting the bar & start count at ~90-95%, if make 3 in a row, go up (unless coach tells you to go up), if miss 3 in a row drop down by 10% or 10kg and build back up.  Goal is to make lifts but if a big one is there go for it).
