We are getting to the end of the month and soon we will be testing our one rep max effort power snatch. Today is a good day to really tweak that good technique, and if you can, add a few extra pounds each set.

Couplets are my favorite! They are usually more difficult because you go back and forth between just the 2 movements. You aren’t fully on board with going back to the first movement once you are done with the second movement.

Couplets are best with a heavy weightlifitng movement paired with a gymnastics or skill movement. Most people aren’t great at both. Smaller athletes have an easier time with the gymnastics/skill, larger athletes have an easier time throwing heavy weight around.

So, today we have a fun duo of heavy thrusters (135/95) and double unders. The good news is that the number of reps goes down each round!

These are heavy thrusters today – make sure to challenge yourself, but also choose a weight that you can do.

Also choose an appropriate scaling option for your double unders. You can be amazing at singles, but singles will never get you better at doubles. Your Coach can help you choose the best option.
