Overview.

Part A – This is a more challenging variation on the theme of 2021 Online qualifier Event #6. There will be accumulating shoulder fatigue from both movements and it will become easy to miss snatches forward (make sure to have an aggressive pull with good balance even under fatigue). It’ll be best to power snatch but switch to squat snatches if needed.

Part B – This one is set up as one of those workouts that’s a bit hard to decide if you should take a risk (by trying unbroken) or play it a bit more safe on 1st thrusters (to then perhaps being able to go faster on the burpees / not die on the 2nd set of thrusters). Enjoy!

Strategy.

Part A – While the 2021 event (w/ power clean and jerk + bar-facing burpees) was all out all the way, this one is a bit more controlled and slower with more movement-specific limiters (you don’t want to go so hard at the start that you won’t be able to continue chipping away at the reps later on).

Part B – There will be some pre-fatigue from the first piece. While going unbroken (might) seem tempting, the reality is that any advantage gained, compared to 2-3 sets with short breaks, will easily be lost in the burpees and the 2nd set of thrusters. Therefore the suggested strategy is to break the 1st set of thrusters, keep steady fast on the burpees and see what’s left in the tank for the final thrusters (but DO NOT go to failure on these).

Instructions. Set up equipment with same standards as for CFG Open workout 23.3 (without the skipping rope of course) for part A. For part B it’s just you, the barbell and your feelings.
