Those of whom want to do another cycle of 5, 3, 1 go ahead. We can try to shift to a Greg Everett Cycle to increase the O-Lifts. I will post from his "Quick and Classic" cycles for 4 weeks unless anyone has any different ideas.

Greg Everett Quick and Classic Cycle Week 1:

For exercise demos click here

Lifts:

* Snatch - 5 x 3 (~70-80%)
* Snatch pull - 4 x 4
* Pause back squat - 4 x 3

Feel out weights for each exercise that are challenging but not max efforts.
This will be a quick 4-week cycle working to max snatch and CJs on Saturday of week 4.

Metcon: 4 rounds

-21 box jumps
-15 kipping pull ups
-9 cleans (95lbs/135lbs)

    Need to work on getting a slight bounce instead of stopping mid way and then ascending!

  3. Tried out this metcon, but only got two rounds before I had to leave. Took 13:45, used 18in box and 95lb cleans. Full cleans are so hard!!! Must do more.
