We kick off our new cycle with a new Snatch Complex! Our Snatch complex this cycle will consist of 1 Snatch Pull, followed by a Power Snatch from the floor, and finish off with a low hang (below knee) Squat Snatch.  The goal here is to first get the triple extension down in the Snatch Pull (PUSH the ground away!), then work on punching the bar over in the Power Snatch and finally a good pull under the bar in the low hang squat snatch.

WOD:

16-14-12-10-8-6:

Alt DB Snatch (50/35)

Cals on Echo Bike

Female cals: 14-12-10-8-6-4

With the DB Snatch, make sure both heads of the DB touch the ground at the bottom.  Once the DB gets past the knees, get a good snap on the hips to get that weight moving upwards.

Scaling Options:

DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (ELITE: 70/50)

Cals -> 10-8-6-6-4-2

Cool Down:

Banded OH Med Ball Stretch – 2 Min

WOD:

-Score = heaviest successful set

We’ll finish off our transition week with some good weightlifting work.  There is no time limit on today, so rest as needed between sets. Try to make the movement of the hang power snatch and the hang squat snatch look identical except for where you land.  Only difference between the two is you hit the brakes sooner on your catch position in the Power.  Use the final OHS in the set to focus on keeping tension in the core and stability in the shoulders.

Scaling Options:

If there are any shoulder issues, switch to 1 Hang Power Clean + 1 Hang Squat Clean + 1 Front Squat

Cool Down:

Banded Bully Stretch – 1 Min per side

Barbell mash on quads – 1 min per side

Video courtesy of WOD Prep.

As with any long AMRAP, make your goal to start at a pace that you have the utmost faith you can maintain throughout the whole 35 min.  Will it feel slow at the beginning?  If you do it correctly, yes.  I would rather constantly be moving this whole 35 min rather than go faster than I should and have to continually take breaks throughout.

Scaling Options:

Dubs -> 50 per round -> 35 per round -> 150 Single Unders

Ab-mat sit ups -> feet anchored

Box height -> 20/16 -> as needed (ELITE: 30/24)

Today will be a grind, no way around that.  With it being a little “up & down the mountain” chipper, your strategy should be, tackle one component at a time.  Don’t get overworked over how much you have left, rather focus on what is right in front of you.  Accomplish it, and move on.

Scaling Options:

Run -> 500M row

Bar weight -> 75/55 -> as needed (ELITE: 135/95)

Don’t forget, this Thursday SSgt Jones will hold her Yoga class at 0700 and 1400 in the Community Commons (Bldg. 700).  Not only is the class free but the benefits are priceless! Click on the above pic to go to the sign-up page.

Warmup:

200M jog

10 Med Ball Squats

10 Over & Backs

Barbell warmup – With an empty bar and hands in clean grip, perform 5 reps of: RDLs, (with bar on back) Back Squats, Elbow Rotations, (bring bar to front) Front Squats, Push Press, Thrusters

S/S/S:

EMOM for 8 Min:

Odd Min – 5 Thrusters (build in weight)

Even Min – 3 Kip Swings + 3 Kipping Pull Ups

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.

Our transition week will see us tackle some not-as-normally-used movements , but also visit a CrossFit benchmark (some would call THE benchmark), “Fran”, so to prep us for the WOD, take this EMOM to do two things. On the Thruster side of things, make the goal to go heavier in these sets of 5 than you plan on using in the WOD.  It will get the legs and torso ready for the pounding they are about to take.  Secondly, the Kip Swing to Kipping pull up complex will prep the back/arms/shoulders for the pull up load as well as get your body comfortable with the movement.

WOD:

“Fran”

21-15-9:

Thrusters (95/65)

Pull Ups

Time cap: 10 Min

Video courtesy of WOD Prep.For those newer to CrossFit, if there was an equivalent to hearing “how much you bench?” in a Globo gym, it’s “what’s your Fran time?” in CrossFit circles.  This benchmark is meant to wreck the body (in a good way) and push your limits. For some good pointers, check out the above video.

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 75/55 -> as needed

Pull Ups -> Banded Strict pull ups -> Buddha Pull Ups -> Ring Rows

10 Walking Lunges

Get through the walking lunges with a good enough pace to give you between 1:00 to 1:30 for pull ups.  Then, when on the pull up bar, think “manageable chunks.  That means, as soon as you start feeling fatigue in your grip on the bar, hop off, shake your arms out, and get back at it.

Approach this mini-chipper with a plan, folks!  Coming out too hot will lead to some misery on the back side of the WOD, so rather, find steady pacing on the bike and manageable chunks on the wall balls early on so when you hit those moves on the back side, you still have some juice left.
