STRATEGY
• Cycle quick singles or very manageable sets on the snatches
• 21's: 8-7-6, 6-5-5-5, 3's, or singles
• 9's: 5-4, 4-3-2, 3's, or singles
• Those are likely the most consistent options that limits time spent not moving
• Shoot for 1-2 sets on the overhead squats (15 or 8-7)
• Push the pace on the burpees knowing you'll be completing singles or very small sets on the barbell
