A light day due to time constraints.

Take 20 minutes and work up to a 3 rep max of Power Snatches.

Then not for time do 3 rounds of:

  • 10 x Weighted Situps
  • 10 x Russian Twist

Then not for time:

  • 30 x Barbell Rollouts with 95lbs/43kg on the bar

Results:  For the Snatches did 65lbs, 75lbs, 80lbs, 95lbs, 115lbs/52kg.  For the last round had to break between reps so not technically a 3 rep max.
