11.5.2024 AMRAP 12 Workout
AMRAP 12
30 Double-unders (each round)
1-2-3-4…
Squat snatches @ 61/43 kg
Bar muscle-ups
Overview. This workout will be limited by the grip and shoulders, all the movements will work the grip AND shoulders to some extent. Managing this fatigue will be critical to getting a good score in the workout. The first rounds of the workout will be quite fast, but when the reps increase, you will need to slow down a bit and settle into your pace. Pay attention to the grip/shoulders and decide if you can hold this pace or if you need to slow down.
Pacing. You should always aim to do the double-unders unbroken. Your only breaks should be when/if you fail. You will probably benefit from fast singles in the snatch, as doing them unbroken will probably fatigue your grip/shoulders too much. If you are confident coming into this workout, you might try going fast and unbroken in the first 3 rounds and then settle into your pace. Settling into your pace from the first round isn’t a bad idea either. Your grip will decide how long you can/should go unbroken on the bar muscle-ups. Do not go close to failure on the bar muscle-ups until you are in the last or second to last round.
Tips.
– Stay nice and relaxed in the double-unders, try to relax your shoulders and grip. Find a good breathing rhythm.
– Small sets with short breaks will keep the fatigue at bay better than big sets with big breaks.
– Practice being quick in the snatch set-up. You won’t need to get the perfect grip on the bar every time.
