# TEACHING (15:00 – 30:00)
## PULL-UPS
### Grips
How you hold the pull-up bar can depend on hand size. For athletes with smaller hands, it might be helpful to go with the "thumb over" grip to get more surface area in contact with the steel. If you have a bigger hand, the "thumb around" grip can help secure you to the bar. In either scenario, it's all about doing what keeps you best connected to the rig. The better connected you feel, the more control you will have. Feel out hand position during the *scap pull-ups and strict pull-ups. *
### Kips
The kip swing starts in the shoulders and is all about keeping the body tight. The *hollow hold and arch holds* on the bar are designed to feel out this tight, compact body position. Keep the legs glued together and belly tight. We'll carry that over to the *kip swings* that follow.
### Hips
Once we have a good grip and control, the ease of pull-ups comes from driving the hips aggressively towards the bar. The *hip pops* are essentially pull-ups without the pull. Create the weightless moment and dial in timing by opening the hips. We'll add it the pull and finish things off with our *standard pull-ups. *

## DUMBBELL HANG CLEAN AND JERKS
### Grips
How we grip the bell will also be dependent on hand size. For athletes with big enough hands, the hook grip will be best. For athletes with smaller hands, going a full grip with knuckles pointed towards the ground will allow for the most secure grip. The more secure the grip is, the more legs and hips we can use. Feel out what grip is most comfortable on the *Russian Swings. *
### Dips
The dip position of the dumbbell jerk is the same as the barbell. Vertical chest with heels grounded. Transitioning from the clean to the jerk, the goal is to find this upright and balanced position. Find the heels and stand tall in the *strict presses, dips, and push jerks. *
### Hips
Once positioning is there, let's use to hips to launch the bar up to the shoulder and then overhead. Especially with pull-ups to follow, it is better not to rely on curling and pressing the weight. Jump it up with the lower body. Feel this out on the *hang clean and jerks* with the lighter weight and then the workout weight.

# STRATEGY + WOD (35:00 – 60:00)
## RUN
* Run at a pace where you can come in an go big on the dumbbell each round
## HANG CLEAN AND JERKS
* Switching arms every 5 reps on the dumbbell, try to get these done with 1 break maximum
* Since one arm gets a break while the other works, push for larger sets here
* *Options*: 20 unbroken or 10-10
## PULL-UPS
* The of the set on the pull-up doesn't matter as much as limiting time spent not moving
* Think 2-3 sets from the beginning to keep things moving forward
* *Options:* 8-7, 6-5-4
