Barbell Club WOD, May 10, 2025
Barbell Club – Sat, May 10
Focus
- Welcome to Week 2 of this 4-week cycle. Build heavy for each main lift, but leave 5-10 lbs in reserve to avoid going as heavy as possible.
- For the Main Lift, complete the “hang” reps from above the knee and the power and squat snatches as touch-and-go reps from the floor.
- The entire complex must be done unbroken. Complete as many warm-up sets as you need, but perform only 3 challenging (70% or higher) sets today.
- For Accessory – I, perform all sets between 75-85% of your 1-rep-max snatch. Emphasize finishing with the legs straight and heels down (like a push press) and pulling up on the bar as long as possible before it begins to fall.
- For Accessory – II, complete a FAST set of hip extensions before each set of snatches. Scale the hip extensions to finish in under :30 and increase DB load as much as possible for 6 unbroken reps on each arm.
