10 Hang Power Snatch (increasing by rd)

WOD Notes: Each rd should be under 2 minutes. You should be trying to push the shuttle runs since there is rest (change your weights during that time). HPS should be unbroken rounds 1-4 & you may have to break up the last rd. HPS = 95/115/135/155/175# for men, 65/75/95/105/115# for women. You don’t have to increase if you get to a certain weight & it feels challenging already. Shuttle Run Sub = 10 cal bike or 120ft versa.

You will run a 400m at the 0:00, 2:15, 4:30, 6:45, & 9:00 mark (5×400’s). The last round you’ll have 15 sec less to do snatches. Score = total snatches.
