"Got Snatch?"

First Phase: Warm-up
Row 2,000 meters (or 7 min non-stop SDHP 70#)

Second Phase: "Work Capacity, Endurance"
(1) 100 x "The Exercise" for time (see notes)

(2) 4 x 800 meter run

Third Phase: Core & Durability
100 4-count flutter kicks, 100 4 count leg-levers, 5 minutes in lean-n-rest (push-up plank position)

This WOD is a "Single Mode Mother" (Thanks Mark Twight). Equipment required is a rowing machine and barbell w/ oly weights. The Exercise is a snatch followed immediately by an overhead squat. If your snatch sucks, then do a Clean and Jerk, followed by overhead Squat. Work your snatch form. Weight is dependent upon skill and capacity. 65# should be minimum, 95# max for this effort.
