Sumo Deadlift

1,1,1,1,1

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Last time hitting Sumo Deadlifts this cycle before we re-test our 5X5.  Today’s goal is 5 heavy singles.  If you hit a 1RM, great!  If not, no biggie.  Focus on good form and pushing as heavy as your body will allow!

WOD:

12 Min AMRAP:

10 Deadlifts (155/125)

10 Burpee Over Bar

10 Pull Ups

At the start, you’ll feel like you can move through rounds pretty fast.  Just don’t try to sprint from the get-go, as the workloads will catch up before you know it.  Try to keep a deliberate pace the whole 12 min.

 

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> as needed (should be weight you can do sets unbroken)

Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups

3@70%

3@75%

Sets start every 3 min

%s based off 22May 1RM

Videos courtesy of The Shrugged Collective.  Third time hitting our Snatch Complex.  To review, you’ll start with a Snatch High Pull, then bring the bar back to the ground for a Power Snatch (as seen in video one).  You will then bring the bar to the hang position and complete 2 Hang Squat Snatches (seen in video two).  If you can hold onto the bar through the whole complex, great!  If you need to drop, do it between the Power Snatch and Hang Snatches.  The %s stay the same this time, but reps go up, so the time per set is increased.

 

WOD:

For Time:

1K Row

25 Power Snatch (95/65)

500M Row

15 Power Snatch (115/80)

250M Row

5 Power Snatch (135/95)

As your row distance and Power Snatch reps drop, your Power Snatch weight will increase.  Look to make three jumps today!

 

Scaling Options:

Row -> 750/350/200M respectively, on Ski Erg

Bar weight -> as needed, but aim to make 3 jumps in weight

 

Cool Down:

Banded OH stretch – 2 min per side

20190710

WOD:

Station work:

At each station, perform 2 Min work, (1 Min rest between stations) …

-Double Unders

-40′ Sled Push (4 – 45# plates for Men, 2 – 45# plates for women)

-Plank Hold on forearms (1 rep for every 20 sec held)

 

Complete each station 3 times.

Score = total reps

So, you will do two minutes of work at each station, then have a one-minute rest to transition to the next station.  You score will be total reps.  For the sled push, every 40’ increment completed is 1 rep.  For the plank, you get 1 rep for every 20 seconds you hold the plank (so the max you can get in the 2 min is 6).

 

 

Scaling Options:

DUs -> no scale, consider it 2 min of DU practice

Sled push weight -> as needed

 

Cool Down:

Calf stretch on rig – 2 min per side

 

Cobra pose – 2 min

S/S/S:

Floor Press

5X3

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Third time hitting the Floor Press this cycle.  This is an awesome Bench variation if you are in a gym with limited numbers of benches.  Many of the same rules for Bench apply here: Keep shoulder blades connected to the surface below you.  Let the elbows drop straight down (not at an angle), and keep the but planted at all times.  You can have the legs completely straight, or bend the knees so your feet are flat on the ground.  Either team up and have your partner deadlift the bar into position every set, or do these out of the rack.  With the reps going down this week, aim to go heavier per set compared to the 3X5 week.

WOD:

400M Run

35 Push Ups

200M Run

WELCOME BACK FROM A LONG WEEKEND!  WHAT BETTER WAY TO COME BACK THAN WITH 3 MINI WODS?!!

 

WOD:

AMRAP 10:

Wallballs (20/14)

On the Minute – 5 Deadlifts (225/155)

5 Min Rest, then…

21-15-9:

Power Cleans (135/95)

Russian KB Swing (70/53)

3 Min Rest, then…

12-9-6:

Push Press (135/95)

Goblet Squat (70/53)

So, everyone will be on the same clock for the AMRAP, and the rest.  Once you start the 21-15-9, that’s when you are watching the clock for yourself.  Once you finish the 21-15-9, look at the clock.  Whatever time it says, add three minutes, and that is when you will begin the 12-9-6 portion.  WOD is two separate scores.  The AMRAP is score 1 (only count wall ball shots).  Score two is the time it takes you to finish both the 21-15-9 and the 12-9-6 (don’t include the rest times)

 

Scaling Options:

Med ball weight -> 14/10 -> as needed

Deadlift -> 185/130 -> 155/110 -> 135/95 -> as needed

PCs & PP weight -> 115/80 -> 95/65 -> as needed

KB weight -> 50/35 ->35/25 -> as needed
