Heavy Squat Snatches, Fast Burpees
This Saturday, you'll take on a couplet of squat snatches and bar-facing burpees. The workout follows an E3MOM format for 7 sets, with each set consisting of 5 heavy squat snatches followed by 15 bar-facing burpees. The snatches are meant to be heavy, so choose a weight that pushes you while maintaining good form. This is intended to be a sprint-style workout, so I encourage you to push the pace on the burpees.
Make sure to scale the barbell load and burpee count so that you can complete each round with at least a minute of rest. Keep track of your split times for each round.
Due to space limitations, we'll keep all barbells on the platform, and you'll perform regular burpees on the floor off the platform. For busier classes, you may need to share bars with a partner. In that case, one partner will start with the snatches while the other begins with the burpees, and then you'll switch.
See you all in group classes, on the zoom, or in the open gym.
Cheers,
Big Cat
