This video was from 15 years ago.  Pretty sure some of these kids went on to become Games athletes. And just like they did back then, let’s have a little fun for the first 10 minutes of class today and see how high we can get on box jumps!  Make smart increases in height as you feel comfortable and see if you can surprise yourself!

 

WOD:

5 Rounds for Reps:

As many Box Jumps (24/20) as possible in 1 minute

Rest 30 seconds

As many Wall Balls (20/14) as possible in 1 minute

Rest 30 seconds

 

Score = total reps

Videos courtesy of Artis Strength and Misfit Athletics, respectively.

Best way to hit consistent, big scores today?  Stay smooth.  On the box jumps, use the step downs as the recovery between reps, meaning as soon as my second foot is back on the ground, I should be initiating the next jump. On the wall balls, try to not leave your arms up the whole time.  Drop them as the ball is going up towards the target and bring them back up prior to the ball hitting you in the face.

 

Scaling Options:

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

MB weight -> 14/10 -> as needed

Our Clean Complex this cycle will be a Clean Liftoff (pause right at the knee for 3 seconds), followed by a Clean, then one Jerk (split or push).  The pause in the liftoff will help teach us to keep tension as we are going from the first to second pull in the clean.  The better the tension the better our position in the clean.

2026 CrossFit Games Event 14 Inspired: Triple Pig

3 Rounds For Time:

10 Burpee to Pull Up

15 Med Ball Sit Ups (20/14)

3 Power Cleans (185/130)

Video courtesy of The CrossFit Games.

We end our look back at the 2026 CrossFit Games with a spin on Event 14: Triple Pig.  The video shows what Games Director, Dave Castro wanted to achieve when designing the event.  Since GHD med ball shots is something we would need to slowly introduce into our daily work, so figured Med Ball sit ups would keep us a bit safer.  Also, since we don’t have any pigs to flip, we thought Power Cleans were the better alternative.  But, if you have the ability, switch Power Cleans out with Tire Flips.

Burpee to Pull Up -> Burpee to jumping pull up (bar inside OH grip) (ELITE: bar muscle ups)

We continue our look at the 2026 CrossFit Games with a WOD inspired from Event 7 – Swim Standard.   Now, if you want to do this WOD as it was written, feel free to hit the lap pool.  If you don’t have access to one, we figured a good alternative was the Ski Erg.  With the Burpee over line, use an actual line on the floor or an imaginary one. Drop down and do a burpee, pop up, and hop over that line, turn around and repeat.

We kick off our transition week/Look back at the 2026 CrossFit Games with Events 3,4, and 5: The CrossFit Total!  For all the lifters out there, this is your day. Remember to evenly split remaining time after w/u for the three lifts. Let folks know they have “x” amount of time to get 3 attempts in. Weight-wise, first attempt should be something in the 85-90-95% range of their 1RM (something you KNOW you can hit), second attempt right at or just slightly above their current 1RM (Something your SHOULD be able to get), and last attempt should be what they hope will be their new 1RM (Something you HOPE to get).

Key of the day, “core to extremity”.  Use the bigger muscle groups before using the smaller ones.  With air squats, it’s all hips and legs.  For Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, use the hips to pop the weight up before using the shoulders and arms right at the end.  In the HSPUs, unless you’re going strict, use the extension of the legs in the kip to let your hips extend you upwards.

 

Scaling Options:

Air Squat -> set target to reachable depth

KB weight -> 55/35 -> as needed

HSPUs -> Pike push ups off a box or floor -> high kneel DB OH Press
