S/S/S:

Jerk (from blocks)

3×5

Increase weight per set

Today we are doing 2 less sets than when we did in the 5×5 week, so goal is start heavier (maybe weight you used for set 3 in 5×5) and go heavier each round, possibly going heavier on last set than the last set you did in 5×5.

WOD:

13min AMRAP:

10 Burpees

10 Dumbbell Push Press*

10 Dumbbell Stationary Lunge

Dumbbell Farmer carry 100’

 

*Find a weight for the Dumbbell that is challenging for the Push Press.  Use these dumbbells for the lunges and farmers walk as well.  For the farmer walk, cover 25’, turn around, farmer walk back to where you started, turn around again, walk back to the 25’ mark, turn around and return to the start point. 100’ done.

In the lunges, keep your torso upright.  The back knee should just kiss the ground before you come back up.
