9 Toes-to-bars

Target time. < 15:00 CAP 20:00
Overview. A classic descending rep scheme on slightly heavier DB snatches (other movements have the same reps each round). It’s good to note that this is a total of 55 DB snatches, 90 toes-to-bars and 300 double-unders. If all movements would have descending reps, you’d be past half-way after round of 7 but here the toes-to-bars and DUs will get more challenging as you’ll have less “rest” between the sets.
Strategy. Start steady on all movements. Do the 1st set of DB snatches unbroken. You can change hands either in the air (faster) or on the ground (saves grip). If you think toes-to-bars will become a limiter towards the end of the workout, you might want to break them up to 2-3 quick sets from the start (this gives you more “recovery time” at start of workout between DB snatch sets). This might also be smart given that DB snatch + ttb combo will get grippy. Aim for double-unders to be unbroken all the way through.
You might choose to break the DB snatches on rounds 9-8-7-6 if needed to save the grip (or if they get heavy) and to “recover” a bit more before your next set of toes-to-bars. Either way don’t let the rests between sets (DB snatch/toes-to-bar) stretch out too much as it’s easy to lose time here.
