Scaling Options:
Bar weight -> as needed (should be weight you can do 15 unbroken PCs when fresh)
Little ascending ladder for walking lunges and rope climbs. Would suggest taping off a 10 yd (30’) spot. For your first round, you’ll go from beginning to end on the strip. For round two, you’ll go beginning to end, then turn around and lunge back to the beginning, etc… for each round.
Half Rope climbs – (video courtesy of CrossFit Memorial Hill. Start at the 3:24 mark) This option is for those who have the arm strength to hang onto the rope but are in need of practice on clamping the feet for the rope climb.
Video and description courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. For our clean variation this cycle, we’ll focus on High Hang (or Dip) Cleans.
Begin standing in the tall position—standing fully erect with the bar held at arms’ length. Bend smoothly at the knees only as you would for a jerk, then quickly and aggressively transition in the bottom of the dip and extend the hips and knees together to finish the pull of the clean, completing the rest of the lift as you would for any clean. Be sure your feet remain flat as you dip and drive hard through the floor with your legs. This lift is meant to be done with an elastic dip and drive—there should be no pause in the bottom of the dip. Make sure to keep the bar against your body throughout the lift—don’t let it be pushed away at any point. Finish each set with one Push or Split Jerk.
WOD:
15-12-9-12-15:
Med Ball V-Ups (20/14)
Front Squats (135/95)
Toe2Bar
Video courtesy of LiveStrongWoman. Demo of Med Ball V-Ups. Also, for the Front Squats, have the bar come from the ground, not the rack. And yes, you can squat clean into your first rep off the ground.
Scaling Options:
Med ball V-Ups -> lighter ball -> no ball -> Bent leg V-ups
Bar weight -> as needed (weight you could do 15 unbroken when fresh)
Video courtesy of Rogue Athletics. Our Pull movement for this cycle will be go ol’ fashioned Deadlifts! Goal of the 5X5 week is to increase weight each set.
Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. Quick demo on the KB Snatch. This WOD begins and ends with 40 HSPUs, but save some energy in your arms at the beginning for the OH walking lunge work ahead of you. I would suggest to start with your KB 30’ from your box, do the KB Snatches, begin your L-arm OH KB lunge toward the box, once you get to the box (30’ away), put down the KB, do your burpee box jump overs, once done with those, pick up the KB, do the 30’ R-arm OH KB Lunge away from the box, once you get to 30’, put KB down, shake out arms and do the next set.
