Many people see James Tatum and think he’s simply the best 77kg lifter in America. I mean he just Snatched within 4kg of DOUBLE bodyweight…
I, however, see more than that. I see a man I can learn from. A man that has – despite his youth – figured out some things that perhaps I haven’t. I see a scholar, who I can perhaps turn to in times when I need an answer to a question that no one else would have the answer to.
Thank you, James. Your wisdom has helped me more than you’ll probably ever know.
WOD 140120:
BBG
7X1 Mid-Hang Snatches @ 80% – rest 60-90 sec. (Do not go above 80%)
Strength/Skill
1a) 3X5 less C2B Pull-ups than each set from 140106 – rest 60 sec.
1b) 3X20 (steps) Front Rack Walking Lunges (use axle bar if possible) @ 80% of heaviest load from 140113 – continuous stride (no stopping to gather feet), rest 60 sec.
Conditioning
8 minute AMRAP of:
50 Double-Unders
20 UB Wall Balls 20/14#
10 UB TTB
*The goal is to move calmly through the entire 8:00 without significant deviation of pace, and with smooth UB reps. If you can maintain a quick pace throughout all rounds then start fast. If not, choose a pace that will allow for minimum variance in intervals.
