What is Andi?

Andi is a Hero WOD honoring Sergeant First Class Andrew 'Andi' Weathers: 100 hang power snatches, 100 push presses, 100 sumo deadlift high-pulls and 100 front squats, all at 65/45 lb, for time. Four hundred light barbell reps - a pure barbell-stamina chipper. No single rep is hard; the challenge is shoulder and grip survival while keeping a light bar moving for 20-30+ minutes. Andi rewards efficient positions more than fitness: anyone who muscles the bar burns out by rep 150.

Tips & Strategy

Break each 100 into planned sets of 10-20 with 5-breath rests - and stick to the plan even when early sets feel trivial. Use your hips on snatches and SDHP; save your arms, they have 200 pressing reps coming. The front squats at the end are the mental test: breathe at the top of every 5 reps. Switch your grip width and stance slightly between movements to spread the fatigue.

Scaled & Beginner Versions

Scaled: 75 reps of each movement at 45/35 lb. Beginner: 50 reps of each with an empty or training bar. The bar should feel light for the first 20 reps of every movement - that's the correct load.
