Video courtesy of Shape Fit. Demo of Farmer’s Walk. Score each AMRAP separately. As you progress from one AMRAP to the next, the bar weight will go up, but the reps for Power Snatch do drop per round, so aim to get as many if not more rounds in the second AMRAP as you got in the first. Same goes for the third. For the Farmer’s Walk, one KB per hand. IF you are in a spot without KBs, feel free to sub DBs or plate holds.
Scaling Options:
KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
Bar weight -> as needed, but make jumps going from one AMRAP to the next

Video courtesy of Ascension Strength. Demo of the banded pullovers. Third time hitting Bench press this cycle!!! Again, if you are still working from home and don’t have a Bench, feel free to substitute Floor Press in.. This week, we drop to 3 reps per set, so aim for heavier weight per set than what you used for 3X5 week.
WOD:
AMRAP 18:
3 Push Ups
3 Shoulder to OH (115/80)
3 Ab Mat Sit Ups
6 Push Ups
6 Shoulder to OH (115/80)

…etc
add 3 reps each round
With ascending ladder AMRAPS, the first few sets will make you feel confident you can keep a sprint pace. Best to stay at a steady pace the whole time so you don’t run out of gas. For the Shoulder to OH, you can use strict press, push press, push jerk, or split jerk. Whatever you want, just get through them as quickly as possible
Scaling Options:
Push Ups -> off bench
Bar weight -> 95/65 -> 75/55 -> as needed

Sets start every 4 min
%s Based off 3Dec 1RM
Video courtesy of CrossFit Skirmish. Third running of our Clean Complex! Remember, this complex is 1 Power Clean, bringing the bar to the hang, and performing 1 Hang Squat Clean, then take the bar all the way to the ground and perform 1 Squat Clean. That will equal one rep. On the final rep of each set, perform one Jerk (either Push or Split). The focus here is still getting the violent hip extension from different beginning positions as well as getting to the bottom of a squat as quick as possible to have the best catch position for the hang squat clean and the squat clean. %s stay the same as last time, but reps go up, so time per set goes up to 4 Min. You can break grip between reps.
WOD:
For Time
Buy-In:
30 Pull Ups
then…
3 Rounds:
7 Squat Cleans 165/115
15 Burpee Over Bar
then…
Cash Out:
30 Toe2Bar
For the pull ups and Toe2Bar, thing to keep in mind: do manageable chunks. If you can go unbroken, for all 30, god bless you, do so. But, for the rest of us, what I mean by manageable chunks is, drop off the bar BEFORE you hit fail. This will allow you to recover quicker (you won’t have fully exhausted yourself) and get back on the bar faster, getting through the needed reps faster. For the 3 rounds, the burpee over bar can be either bar-facing, or being parallel to your bar, and jump over laterally.
Scaling Options:
Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull ups -> Ring Rows -> Table Row
Toe2Bar -> Kipping Knee or Leg Raise -> Laying Toe2Bar -> V-Ups
Cool Down:
Kneeling Lat Stretch – 30 sec per side

WOD:
“Tosh”
3 Rounds of:
200M Run
400M Run
600M Run
*After each interval, rest the same duration
it took you to run the last interval.
On paper, this one looks easy, but this will bite you in the rear quick! Your goal should be stay within 10-15 seconds of the last interval (ex, my first 200M I finish in 50 seconds. The next time I do the 200M run, I should finish no slower than 1:00-1:05). Easiest way to make sure you do an even work/rest ratio, have a running clock that you can see every time you start and stop. Ex. At “3,2, 1…Go!”, I hit my 200M run and finish at the :50 mark. I will start my 400M run at 1:40. I finish, I’ll look at the clock and do the quick math to figure how long it took me (say the clock says 3:50, meaning it took me 2:10 to finish the 400M run) and wait that amount of time before I begin my 600M run (in this example, I would begin the 600M run at the 6:00 mark).
Scaling Options:
Row -> 250/500/750M, respectively ->Cals on Assault Bike, 14/10,28/20, 42/30, respectively

Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of Troy CrossFit. Third attack on High Bar Back Squats! Reps drop to 3 per set, so go heavier than the 3X5 week. Keep that tight torso! Remember, these will improve your receive position in both the clean and snatch.
WOD:
EMOM for 18:
Min 1 – 10 Alternating Pistols
Min 2 – 45 Sec Handstand Hold
Min 3 – 3 Muscle Ups (Bar or Ring)
Want to see good, clean reps in each EMOM. There is plenty of time each round, so don’t sacrifice form for speed. And in each movement, a tight core will make things go MUCH better. If you come down on the HS hold before 45 seconds, get back up on the wall as quick as possible, but at the 45 sec mark, come off the wall. |
Scaling Options:
Pistols -> Banded Pistols* -> Pistols to target
Video courtesy of Invictus Athletics
Handstand Hold -> Pike Push Up hold off box -> Plank
Mus -> 3 Pull ups/3 Ring dips per rep -> Banded Ring Muscle Up transitions* -> Jumping Bar Muscle Ups**
Video courtesy of Gymnastics WOD. Demo for Banded Ring Muscle Up Transitions. If you already have the strength to string multiple pull ups and ring dips together, but still can’t get a muscle up, work these.
Video courtesy of ZOAR Fitness. Demo of jumping bar muscle ups. Same principal applies here. If you are able to string multiple pull ups and dips together, but can’t get the bar MUs, work this to get the body used to get the movement patterns down.
Cool Down:

8 Min AMRAP:
25 Goblet Squat (53/35)

You know how I always tell you with AMRAPs, don’t go for broke because you need to keep moving the whole time? Well, today is a day you can ALMOST forget that. These AMRAPs are short enough (plus there is rest between AMRAPs) that you can push the gas more than normal and really get some good numbers.
Scaling Options:
KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
Med ball weight -> 14/10 -> as needed
Box height -> 20/16
T2B -> Hanging Knee Raise -> Laying Toe2Bar

S/S/S:
Clean Pull
5X3
Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Third go around for Clean Pulls this cycle. Again, you’re meant to go much heavier on these than you would your normal Clean weight. The reason is, the heavier you get used to the Clean Pull, the easier it will be to hit that pull when you go for a (lighter weight) Clean). This time around, the reps drop to 3 per set, so go heavier than the 3X5 week.
WOD:
3 Rounds:
20 Deadlifts (155/105)
20/14 Calorie Row
20 Hang Dumbbell Alt Reverse Lunges (50/35)
20/14 Calorie Row
*If no row, Sumo Deadlift High Pull (95/65) – 1 Rep per Cal
Video courtesy of Amanda Prosser. Demo of the DB Alt Reverse Lunge. At the surface, this may just look like a lifting/rowing WOD. But every movement has a common theme. If you don’t keep your posterior chain (hamstrings/glutes/low back) engaged, the movement will hurt the low back. So, keep it engaged throughout!
Video courtesy of WOD Star. If you’re stuck in a place with no rower, sub rowing with Sumo Deadlift High Pulls. 1 Rep per cal.
Scaling Options:
Deadlift Bar weight -> 135/95 -> 115/80 -> as needed
DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
If doing SDHP -> 75/55

WOD:
For Time:
5 Rounds:
20 Double Unders
10 Push Ups
Immediately into…
4 Rounds:
30 Double Unders
10 Pull Ups
Immediately into…
3 Rounds:
50 Double Unders
10 Burpees
Immediately into…
2 Rounds:
100 Double Unders
10 Burpee Pull Ups
Video courtesy of Train FTW. Demo of the Burpee Pull Up. Today, we see a series of descending set couplets, one right after the other. The common things in these, as the sets go down, the DU reps increase, and the complexity of the burpee or pull up movement increase. Best advice I can give is, try to drop into a stead rhythm on the dubs, especially as the reps increase later on. A steady pace will keep you from being out of breath on the gymnastic part of each round.
Scaling Options:
Double Unders -> 2X Single Unders
Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull ups -> Ring Rows -> Table Row
Burpee Pull Ups -> Burpee Jumping Pull Ups
