18.1

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
8 Toes-To-Bars
10 Dumbbell Hang Clean & Jerks
14/12-Cal. Row

This workout begins with the athlete standing on the floor under the pull-up bar. After the call of “3, 2, 1… go,” the athlete may jump up and perform toes-to-bars. After 8 reps are complete, the athlete will move to the dumbbell for hang clean and jerks. The athlete must complete 5 clean and jerks on one arm, then 5 on the other arm. He or she will then move to the rower and pull 14 calories (12 for women). The monitor must read 14 calories (12 for women) before the athlete can unstrap and move to the pull-up bar for the next round.

The athlete’s score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 20-minute time cap. Each calorie completed on the row will be equal to 1 rep

Zercher Squat

5X5

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Little different squat on this cycle.  The Zercher Squat is easily one of the most overlooked squats out there.  Reasons range from comfort level to lack of confidence in the position.  That being said, focus on keeping proper form over huge loads this cycle.  If done properly, this is an excellent way to improve explosion out of the bottom of squats, great for hip mobility, and awesome for core engagement.

CrossFit Open 14.2

From 0:00-3:00

2 rounds of:

10 overhead squats (95/65)

10 chest-to-bar pull-ups

From 3:00-6:00

2 rounds of:

12 overhead squats

12 chest-to-bar pull-ups

From 6:00-9:00

2 rounds of:

14 overhead squats

14 chest-to-bar pull-ups

Etc., following same pattern until you fail to complete both rounds

The Open starts next week!  One last trip down memory lane on a past Open WOD.  So, with this, each time you get 3 minutes to get through 2 rounds.  Any time left in that 3 minutes is rest.  Add two reps per set to both movements every 3 minutes until you can’t reach the rep count for a given 3-minute segment.  Best advice I can get on this is not o red-line to get through and try t get rest.  Rather keep a steady pace that finishes you up roughly 20-15 seconds prior to the end of a 3-min segment.  This way, the heart rate doesn’t drop too low (if it drops low, it’s hard to get movement going again)

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 65/45
