Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a descending rep scheme of power snatches and rope climbs — expect this one to be grippy. Choose a moderate barbell load that allows quick singles or a few touch-and-go reps with minimal rest between sets. Pace the rope climbs and focus on using your legs to climb efficiently, rather than pulling with your arms — think of your arms as holding you close to the rope while your legs drive you up.
