STRATEGY
OVERHEAD SQUATS
• We can center all our efforts around the overhead squats today, as they are likely the most challenging movement
• Lets aim for 1-2 sets here throughout the workout
• 1 Set: 15  2 Sets: 8-7 or 9-6
DEADLIFTS & DOUBLE UNDERS
• Approach these two movements in a way that allows you to complete the overhead squats in 1-2 sets
• It is better to break these up more in order to break the overhead squats up less
• These two movements are also much easier to break than the overhead squats
• If you break up the overheads squat more than once, you have to complete more snatches that don't count towards your score and expend extra energy
• Take one break on the rope and a few breaks on the bar as needed
• Double Unders:  1 Set: 30  2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
• Deadlifts:  2 Sets: 8-7 or 9-6    3 Sets: 5-5-5 or 6-5-4
SUBSTITUTIONS
Double Unders  Reduce Reps   40 Seconds of Practice   45 Single Unders (1.5x)
