WOD: 11/11-13 (+ Saturday Olympic Weightlifting Max Out Day!)
Get excited! We will be maxing out the Snatch and Clean & Jerk on Saturday. This will not be competition-style like we did in April with only 3 attempts. Instead, you’ll have 20 minutes per movement to build to a max single. (There’s also an opportunity to go heavy tomorrow with a partner if you can’t make it over the weekend—see below.)
This will be a different workout then we typically do for Saturdays, but we’ll still partner up, help load weights, and cheer for each other as we close out our Olympic lifting cycle and go for max lifts!
Expect classes to run at least the full hour and maybe a bit over as we need more time to fit in max efforts on the 2 lifts.
If you’re missing that cardio stimulus, throw in a run/row over the weekend and we'll be back at it next week.
Some general guidance to optimize your performance:
Prep for the day. Eat well and get some good sleep the night before
Visualize your successful lifts.
Check your recent results for these lifts so you have a sense of what to aim for. (If you don’t know, no problem, we’ll treat it as a heavy single for the day.)
Stretch/Mobilize before you get to class
Take adequate rest between max efforts (2-3 mins)
Don’t be afraid to fail! As long as form is good, going to failure can help us understand our true max. (We’ll go over how to fail safely and coaches will keep a close eye on movements and stop people if things start to get sketchy)
