Men/Women: Every 3:30 for 5 Rounds (Until 17:30)
Score: Slowest Round ONLY!
Goal: 2:40-3:30
COACHES NOTES
Choose a weight on the snatches that allows you to get those reps done in 0:40-1:00. That means an unbroken set or maybe breaking once or twice with minimal rest. Make sure you're taking the time and paying attention to your set up for every snatch. Drop your hips, bend through the knees a bit, and keep your chest lifted. The run shouldn't take up more than 2:30. If it is, consider reducing the distance - especially if it's causing you to have less than 30 seconds of rest each round!
DUMBBELL POWER SNATCH
The dumbbell will start on the ground, feet on either side about shoulder width apart. Hinge at the hips and a bend at the knee. Chest stays lifted, arm straight and back flat. To lift drive the heels down and lift the chest. Once past the knees think - jump - shrug - pull the elbow high and outside (to keep the dumbbell close) - pull under the dumbbell slightly as you punch to lock out with the bicep by the ear. In the catch the heels are down, knees out, chest up. Stand to finish. Alternate hands with each rep. So for each set of 20 you end up doing 10 per side.

COACHES NOTES
For the snatches, only one partner can work at a time while the other works. It's 40 reps combined so if you halved the work, you'd each do 20 reps (but it's not mandatory that you do the same amount of work!) The run should be done together but partners can't start the next round until both are back from the run.
Choose a weight on the snatches that allows you to get 20-30 reps done within a minute. Make sure you're taking the time and paying attention to your set up for every snatch. Drop your hips, bend through the knees a bit, and keep your chest lifted. The run shouldn't take up more than 2:30. If it is, consider reducing the distance.

You can always choose a lighter weight or go from the hang position. If you're not comfortable going over head right now or find that you are coning during the movement sub KB SWINGS.
Run/Jog
To manage or avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups, High Knee Step Overs, Elevated 1 Legged Plank Rock.
If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.
