Not gonna lie, this is a Bike WOD, disguised with a few other movements.  Best suggestion I can give you is, when on the bike, don’t focus on how many Cals you have left, but try to keep your cadence (number at the top right of the Echo Bike display) between 65 and 70.  This is a fast enough pace to get the work done quick without going into a full-on sprint.

Video courtesy of The CrossFit Games.

Today’s two-parter was inspired from WODs 3A and #B from the age-group semifinal WODs.  After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” move to the barbell and complete 7 deadlifts (you MUST reach lockout on the seventh deadlift before returning the bar to the ground to start the first clean), then 5 cleans, then 3 shoulder-to-overheads. Continue completing rounds of 7 deadlifts, 5 cleans, and 3 shoulder-to-overheads until time is reached on the first interval. At the end of the 1-minute rest, each interval begins at the start of the sequence (always start with 7 deadlifts). Complete 5 intervals of 2 minutes of work followed by 1 minute of rest, starting each interval with 7 deadlifts.

Your score is the total number of repetitions completed (the sum of all reps completed in each interval).   After the final 2-minute interval of Test 3A, rest 1 minute, then begin Test 3B. You have 5 minutes to established the longest unbroken handstand hold.

10 Box Jumps (24″/20″)

Video courtesy of the CrossFit Games. For the final heat from the North American East Team WOD 4, start watching at the 1:22:22 mark.

Today’s WOD is inspired from Event 4 of the team competition from the North American East Semifinal event.  The actual event had one pair of the team doing the first Ski Erg, DB Snatch, and box jump piece while the other pair do the second part.  Once both finished, they would switch.  Originally this WOD was 5 rounds, so each pair got to do one side 3 times and one side twice.  Since you will be doing this solo, wanted to give you three rounds of the whole thing!  So yes, the first part, the DBs are heavier ad the boxes are shorter than the last part, but the reps will even things out.  Stay steady in your box jumps and attack those snatches!

Scaling Options:

1st DB weight -> 35/25 (ELITE:90/60)

1st box -> 16/12(ELITE 24)

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty-pound vest or body armor, wear it.

Today we add a fun little new move. Think of Box overs like hopping over a fence.  Hoist yourself up to the top and get over without having to stand up on top. As you’ll see in the video, to stack the boxes and keep them as safe as possible, grab two bands and wrap them around the boxes.  You are welcome to put an ab mat on the top so your knee doesn’t have to dig in to the wood at the top.
