RX+: No need really but if you are really feeling like you need something extra feel free to wear a vest - OR - go heavier on the swing.
Score: Total Time
Goal: Under 25 Min
NOTES:
This one is a great mover after the shoulder blaster from yesterday. We encourage you to pick a weight that you don't think you will have to really break and to just keep a steady pace today. Like we said there is really no need to add anything to this one - but if you add a vest or do a heavier swing (because you are stubborn) go ahead and click RX+.
For the run, keep the time around 1 minute. If running isn't an option today, sub double or single unders for a similar run time. You can also sub out foot taps to a plate as well, or step ups to a low box (knee high or a 2 stack of 45's), bench or stack of plates.
For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs. Don't allow it to pull you forward. Keep those heels down!
If going OH with the KB isn't in the cards today stick to a russian style KB swing and swing the KB to eye level no higher.
For the airsquats the feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.
The airsquats will start to add up, find a steady pace breathing at the top of each rep, exhaling as your squat down. Take smart breaks here, long enough to shake the legs out and go right back to it!

For the hang power snatch you will start with a wide grip and deadlift the bar up to the waist. Feet should be under the hips with the heels down. Arms are long and straight. Dip by bending the knees slightly and hinging at the hip slightly (keep the back flat and chest lifted). Keep the bar close to the body and let it slide down the leg. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders (keep the bar close)! Pull the elbows high and outside (scarecrow) as you pull under the bar slightly. Catch the bar in a partial overhead squat. Stand fully to complete the rep. Lower the bar back to the waist.
For the airsquats the feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.

NOTES:
This one is a great mover after the shoulder blaster from yesterday. We encourage you to pick a weight that you don't think you will have to really break and to just keep a steady pace today.
For the 250m row you're looking at about 1 minute, if you're going all out on the bike you're looking between :30 and a minute depending on how hard you're wanting to go. Don't Peacock that first bike or row, there's not much space to regain the legs for the airsquats at the end of each round.
For the swings you will hold the weight with both hands at the waist. Feet are about shoulder width apart. Heels are down. Hinge forward at the hips and bend the knees slightly. Keep the chest lifted and heels down. Belly tight and arms straight. Pull the weight back through the legs. Stand up HARD and FAST to make the bell weightless and then (keeping the belly tight) guide the weight all of the way overhead! Allow gravity to bring it back down and back between the legs.
