Ankou Week 27 – Retest of Week 1!!

Should be a fun week! Hope the data comes back good or this may be the last week of Ankou. Here we go!

I will try to find the comments from Week 1 and post them later.

Use the same loads as Week 1!

I added some light snatch skill work on a few days. Search http://www.cathletics.com for exercise demo videos and strive to replicate the form you see there.

Day 1: For Time: Row 2k

Warm Up with some light snatch balance work. This is meant to address aggressive and proper foot work as well as aggressive lock out. Use a barbell only if necessary – NO PRESS OUT. 5-7 sets of 2-3 reps.

Day 2: Tabata squats and push ups. 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest. There is no rest between movements. Do 8 rds of squats then immediately begin push ups after the 10 seconds of rest. Record your total reps AND Tabata score (lowest reps in any rd) for both movements.

Add Tabata Sit-Ups for fun. Easy 800m run after to flush the legs a little.
