Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Third time hitting the Split Jerk this cycle. With lower reps per set this week, look to go even heavier!
WOD:
3 Rounds For Time:
10 Clean & Jerk (135/95)
400M Run
Think of Today as “Running Grace”. Same C&J reps and weight as “grace”, but with the added fun of some 400M runs! Still move fast through the C&J piece to get back on the run.
Scaling Options:
Bar weight -> 115/80 -> 95/65 -> 75/55 -> as needed (should be your “Grace” weight)

WOD:
From the 2019 Mid Atlantic CrossFit Challenge
“Hot Stepper”
10 Rounds:
4 Burpee Box Jump Overs (24/20)
1 Rope Climb
Today’s WOD comes courtesy of the 2019 Mid Atlantic CrossFit Challenge. Some great athletes went through this one. If you are feeling froggy, throw on a 20/14 # vest as well. While they kept the time cap at 11 minutes, folks will have until the end of class to finish. IF you want to see how the event went, click here.
Scaling Options:
Box height -> 20/16
Rope climb -> 3 rope walks per climb

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Best way to end the week, with some good heavy Back Squats! The reps are lower per set, so go heavier than the 3X5 week!
WOD:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1:
DB OH Lunge, per arm (50/35)
DB Snatch, per arm (50/35)
*Alternate legs every lunge
**Alternate arm every snatch
So the WOD starts with 10 OH DB lunges with the DB in one arm, then 10 OH lunges with the DB in the other arm, then 10 alternating DB Snatches, then 9 DB OH lunge with the DB in one arm, then 9 OH lunges with the DB in the other arm, then 9 alternating DB Snatches, etc…
Scaling Options:
DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
Cool Down:
Roll out quads, hamstrings, and glutes – 20 passes per section
For the burpee to target, mark off a target that is 6” above the top of your OH reach. Embrace the suck in this longer WOD. The run, although long, should act as a bit of a recovery time before hammering out the Burpee to target and the rope climbs.
Bit of a grinder today, with quite a few reps on 5 movements. If possible, try to go unbroken each time you start a movement (if you need to break them up, take no more than one pause each set), and use your transition time between movements for your recovery.
3-Position Clean (Floor, Below the Knee, above the knee)
4@65%
3@70%
3@75%
Sets start every 3 min
%s Based off 14 Mar 1RM
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Our third time hitting the clean complex in this cycle. Weight stays same as last time but reps go up. With the increase in reps, we will increase the length of each round to 3 minutes to allow proper recovery. Focus FAST hip extension, and then getting those elbows in front of the bar as quick as possible.
WOD:
AMRAP 15:
200M Run
50 Double Unders
15/10 Cal Row
Aim for a pace that lets you move through the entire 15 minutes pretty much non-stop.
With “Murph” right around the corner, what better time to start getting your bodyweight movements dialed in? The box jump overs and burpee box jumps that sandwich this WOD are just a nice little extra spice!
3-Postion Snatch (Floor, Below the Knee, above the knee)
3@65%
3@70%
2@75%
Sets start every 2 min
%s Based off 14 Mar 1RM
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Second time hitting our Snatch Complex this cycle. The % go up, so work to maintain that hook grip and get those hips to violently open once that bar goes past the mid-thigh!
WOD:
For Time:
60/40 Calorie Row
100′ Dumbbell Walking Lunge (50’s/35’s)*

Shooter’s Choice today to work on a bench mark for Strength, Gymnastics, and Conditioning. You will have 15 minutes per station. That means in the strength section, get some warm up sets in (helps if you partner up with someone) before you start going heavy. With a 15-minute cap, you also can’t wait around all day to move heavier weights, so be smart with your jumps and rest between sets. Again, having a partner works as you’ll have a spotter and built in rest time while they are lifting. There is no break between 15 min sections, so once you finish with strength, go right into the gymnastics piece. With the 15 minutes, you have that amount of time to get attempts in of max unbroken reps of your movement. I would suggest taking no more than 3 or 4 attempts at a move, so that will give you time to practice/warm up for the movement and then enough time to rest between attempts. For the Conditioning, since the work time is small, you could take some rest right off the bat when you finish the gymnastics piece. Just make sure you get your conditioning benchmark done before the end of that third 15 minutes.
