As we are rolling into fall our bodies naturally want to prepare for hibernation. And it naturally becomes easier to add a little muscle.
So in order to work with nature instead of against it, BUILD will have a slightly different tempo then the last previous months. I also recommend that the majority of u do build. Simply put only if u have over 30 pounds to lose would I suggest SHRED!
SHRED!

If you need to scale the cardio, be sure that it's something that takes you about 35-40sec. each round. Otherwise that 2min. is not going to feel needed. Those are meant to be hard.
If you need to scale the reps for EMOMs, just make sure you're getting done in about 40-45sec.

You are going to be cleaning the weight off the ground for this. 10 pull-ups in a minute should be easy. However, after that jerk starts to build, it will get spicy.

Snatch
Since most/all of you will probably snatch for 20.1, I usually like the idea of going a little heavier first to make that bar to feel as LIGHT as possible.
Complete this as a warm up:
1min. of cardio of choice
1min. of barbell snatch warmups
1min. of cardio of choice
1min. of snatches at 95/65 (7-8 Reps)
1min. of cardio of choice
1min. of snatches at 15-20% heavier (5-6 Reps)
1min. of cardio of choice
1min. of snatches at 15-20% heavier (3-4 Reps)
*Getting that cardio and barbell cycling in is really going to prime you up nicely. A little bit of sweat before you start a short workout like this is KEY. Shorter the workout, longer the warm up :)
