Scaling Options:

Run -> 500M row per round

Minute 2: 7 Box Jumps (24/20) + 5 Pull Ups

Minute 3: 7 Power Snatches (75/55) + 5 Overhead Squats (75/55)

 

Looking to challenge you a little on these EMOMs with two movements per minute rather than one.  Good news, the reps are low, but look for efficiency to be your friend to have time left over.  Use the rest time to transition over to the set up for the next movement.

ALRIGHT!  This cycle, we are breaking up re-test week into 2 weeks to accommodate the Open.  Get good recovery in between the days!

 

S/S/S:

Strict Press

5X5

Increase weight ea set

 

Compare to 18 Jan

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Re-test time for Strict Press 5X5!!! Time to test if the last 9 weeks of strict press has improved your overall strength.  Goal should be to go higher per set than you did on 18 Jan

WOD:

AMRAP 12:

15/12 Calorie Row

30 Air Squats

15/12 Calorie Row

30 Push Ups

 

Consistent strong pulls on the row should make it so you finish each row under a minute.  Then find a good rhythm on the air squats and push ups.  Most likely, the push ups will be the sticking point for most, so break them up early on to allow you to keep going.

 

Scaling Options:

Air Squats -> to target depth

 

Push Ups -> off bench

 

Cool Down:

Roll out back (posterior chain to traps) – 20 passes

 

Doorway stretch – 2 min per side

50 Single Arm Dumbbell (50/35) Box Step-Ups (24/20)
50 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
200-ft. Handstand Walk

Time cap: 10 minutes

 

Prior to starting this workout, the athlete will need to mark a starting point on the floor, then measure out no more than 25 feet and make another mark on the floor at the finishing point. Additionally, marks must be made every 5 feet to create sections, each of which represents 1 rep of the lunge and handstand walk.

A box measuring 36 inches wide and 24 inches deep also must be marked on the floor in front of the wall where strict handstand push-ups will be performed.

This workout begins with the dumbbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will pick up a single dumbbell and lunge with it overhead for 200 feet. The athlete then will perform 50 dumbbell box step-ups with one dumbbell. After completion of the dumbbell box step-ups, the athlete will perform strict handstand push-ups. Once 50 strict handstand push-ups are completed, the athlete will handstand walk for 200 feet.

The athlete’s score will be the time it takes to complete the workout or the total number of repetitions completed before the 10-minute time cap.

WOD:

5 Rounds, Every 3 Minutes:

60′ DB Walking lunge (50/35)

15 Wallballs (20/14)

 

Score is slowest round.

For this WOD, the clock will be continuous.  The sets start on 0:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, and 12:00.  Keep track of the time you finish each set, then do the math after wards to figure out you slowest time. (Ex,and the round from 9:00-12:00, I finish at 10:45, that means my time for that round was 1:45) If there is ever a round where you do not finish the work within 3 minutes, when you  start the next round, cut the wall ball reps down by 5.  Highly suggest setting the DBs on the white line closest to the Wall Ball wall.  Mark off a 30’ turnaround point.  Goal is to keep the DBs in the front rack or on top of shoulders during the lunge.

 

Scaling Options:

DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed

WB -> 14/12 -> as needed

NOTES

This workout begins with the athlete standing under the pull-up bar. After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will have 8 minutes to perform 25 toes-to-bars, followed by 50 double-unders and 15 squat cleans, then perform 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders and 13 squat cleans, this time at a heavier weight. If the athlete does not complete all 178 repetitions within 8 minutes, their workout is over. The athlete will stop and record their score.

If all 178 repetitions are completed within the 8-minute window, the athlete will earn an additional 4 minutes to perform another 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders and 11 squat cleans, again at a heavier weight. If all 264 repetitions (90 from round 1, plus 88 from round 2, plus 86 from round 3) are completed by the 12-minute mark, the athlete will begin another round and the time cap will be extended by an additional 4 minutes. Each round, the weight of the clean will increase while the reps of the clean decrease. Once a round is completed, the athlete may immediately begin the next round. The athlete does not need to wait for the 4-minute round to end before moving on to the next round. This pattern of earning additional time will continue for up to 20 minutes, as long as a full round is completed before the next cutoff.

This workout is over when the athlete fails to complete all the repetitions within the cutoff time for that round. The final round ends at the 20-minute mark. The athlete’s score is the number of repetitions completed up to their cutoff time.

In this workout, another person may assist the athlete in changing the plates on the barbell during the workout, or multiple barbells may be used. Collars must be placed on the outside of all the plates on any bar used during the workout.

TIEBREAK

The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each set of double-unders, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field where you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last set of double-unders. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak will be ranked higher.

If all 5 rounds are completed in under 20 minutes, your score is the total time it takes you to complete the workout.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. Do not use a countdown timer.

MOVEMENT STANDARDS

Toe2Bar:

In the toes-to-bar, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes touch the pull-up bar. At the start of each rep, the arms must be fully extended and the heels must be brought back behind the bar. Athletes may wrap tape around the pull-up bar or wear hand protection (gymnastics-style grips, gloves, etc.), but they may not tape the bar and wear hand protection. Overhand, underhand, or mixed grip are all permitted. The rep is credited when both feet come into contact with the bar at the same time, between the hands. Any part of the feet may make contact with the bar.

Double Unders:

This is the standard double-under in which the rope passes under the feet twice for each jump. The rope must spin forward for the rep to count. Only successful jumps are counted, not attempts.

 

Squat Clean:

The barbell begins on the ground. Touch and go is permitted. No bouncing or dropping and catching the barbell on the rebound. Once dropped, the barbell must settle on the ground before the athlete begins the next repetition.  The athlete must pass through a full squat with hips below the knees. Receiving the barbell in the bottom of the squat is not required; a power clean or split clean followed by a front squat will be permitted, but a deadlift followed by a hang clean is not allowed.  The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees are fully extended, and the bar is resting on the shoulders with the elbows in front of the bar.

 

Scaling Options:

Beginning on an 8-minute clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
25 hanging knee-raises
50 single-unders
15 squat cleans (95/55)
25 hanging knee-raises
50 single-unders
13 squat cleans (115/75)
If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 hanging knee-raises
50 single-unders
11 squat cleans (135/95)
If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 hanging knee-raises
50 single-unders
9 squat cleans (155/115)
If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 hanging knee-raises
50 single-unders
