Let’s get some teamwork in to start our week! Talk with your partner and have a good game plan for how you want to break up the deadlifts.  Also, have the weights you plan on adding to the bar close by so the adjusting the bar doesn’t take a long time.  Have a nice 25’ area set up for your sled push so you can do a quick down and back with the sled before tagging off to your partner.

Rest

Score = Total Reps

Note – there is no break between stations

Videos courtesy of Mayhem Athlete and Functional Bodybuilding, respectively.

Today’s WOD will be done in the vein of “Fight Gone Bad” whereas there is no break between stations. That said, I would suggest that you pause with about 10 seconds left so you can begin the top of the next minute on the next movement…except for Burpee Box Jump Overs.  Since you are going into a minute of rest, go until you hear the beep.

Scaling Options:

Toe2Bar -> Kipping Knee Raise -> Strict Knee Raise -> Laying Toe2Rig -> V-Ups -> Sit Ups

Videos courtesy of CrossFit HQ.

We finish off the week with some good Barbell Cardio! Each round will be a triplet of Snatch/OH movement with some grip stamina tossed in for good measure.  On the complex, once you finish your 12^th Power Snatch, since you are in the locked-out OHS position, go right into your OHS.  For the Squat Snatches, unless you feel super strong today, I would do these as fast singles instead of touch-and-go.

Scaling Options:

Dumbbell Bench Press

5X5

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.

Our pushing movement for this cycle will be the DB Bench Press.  These are great to help even out the chest/shoulder/triceps strength in a person.  With a barbell, the weaker side of the body can rely on the stronger side to take more of the load.  With DBs, each side fends for itself.  Keep the core tight, shoulders engaged and butt stuck to the bench throughout the reps!

WOD:

21-15-9:

Cal Row -Ladies, 16-12-8 for cals)

Video courtesy of Carl Paoli.Classic Push/Pull WOD done twice,…but differently…. So, the first time through, we break up the total reps and cals so we go back and forth between movements in a classic CrossFit-style rep scheme. The next time makes us go un-partitioned through all the cals before doing all the dips.  Which one will be done faster?  Guess we’ll find out…
