Nathan and Guillaume mobilizing prior to lifting
Mobilizing trouble spots prior to lifting is another way to stay successful in the gym. If your rack, receiving, and/or overhead positions leave something to be desired then it would benefit you greatly in spending two minutes or more before class working into those tissues.

NOTES
Don’t ditch out on this workout- GO FAST! It’s easy to game this workout so make this a guns-blazing workout. Go hard the first round and hold on to dear life for the rest of it. Loading is light so it’s okay- recovery will go fine for most. Calves might be an issue for some, but only when they push it.

power snatch + snatch, clean + clean & jerk
Kettlebell WOD
– Primal mobility (extended)
