Video courtesy of WODStar.  If you at a spot where there are no rowers, you’ll sub sumo deadlift high pulls.  This mimics the movement and stimulus of the rower pretty darn close.  Today will be a good cardio buffet.  If you move at a fast pace through each section, you will get rest time.  Or, if you want to keep a more steady pace and just go from one section to the next with little to no rest, that’s fine too, but aim to make the time cap on each section.

 

Scaling Options:

If doing SDHP -> 75/55 -> as needed

DUs -> 150 Penguin Hops* -> 300 Single Unders -> 300 Bunny Hops

Run -> 1500M Row -> 2.1 Mile on Assault Bike

If unable to finish a given section in the given time, reduce reps/distance to make each time cap

10 V-ups

10 Push Ups

3 Wall Walks

Thread the needle – 30 sec per side

*Video courtesy of Invictus Fitness.  For the Cobra to Hip Snap, watch this video.  Why is this so important?  The more efficiently we use our hips to generate the force to come off the ground, the less stress on our arms, chest, and shoulders.  Plus, the more efficient our landing position, the quicker we can jump at the end of the burpee, allowing us to cycle the burpees even faster…hmmm….I wonder what could be in today’s WOD?….

S/S/S:

Strict Press

5X3

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Our third time hitting Strict Press this cycle.  This week, the reps go down per set, but we’re back up to 5 sets.  The goal is to go for even heavier weight than the 5X5 or the 3X5 weeks.   Don’t forget, your legs MUST stay locked out through the movement (squeeze the butt to prevent knees from bending).  And make sure you finish with your head through the “window” (formed by your arms) .

WOD:

3 Rounds For Time:

20 Handstand Push Ups

30 Burpees

40 Ab mat Sit Ups

120′ Bear Crawl

If your shoulders don’t feel absolutely done by the end of today, you went too light on your presses.  This should smoke them, but in a good way.

 

Scaling Options:

HSPUs -> Pike Push Up off box* -> Pike Push Up off floor** -> Hand Rel push up

Sit Ups -> feet anchored

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 35/25 -> as needed

Run -> 500M row -> 2 Min of cardio

4@65%

4@70%

3@75%

+ 1 Jerk at the end of ea set.

 Sets start every 4 min

%s Based off 11Mar2020 1RM

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Third time this cycle, doing the 3-Position Clean complex.  The Squat Clean will come from the floor, right below the knee, and above the knee.  Hang onto the bar throughout the complex, and at the end of each complex, perform 1 Jerk (split or Push). Your %s are the same from last time, but the reps go up, so our time per set goes up to 4 Min.  Still utilize the hook grip and push yourself to hold on to that bar!

WOD:

AMRAP 20:

15 Power Snatches (95/65)

30 Box Jumps (24″/20″)

45 Double Unders

The goal of this AMRAP is to try to keep constant movement throughout the 20 min.  That means, probably not the best idea to sprint out of the gates.  Keep a pace you can maintain all 20 min.  You do that, I guarantee you’ll hit more rounds than you originally thought you could!

 

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 75/55 -> as needed

DUs ->45 Penguin Hops* -> 90 Single Unders -> 90 Bunny hops

If no rower – Sumo deadlift High Pull (95/65).  1 rep per Cal

Three mini-AMRAPs with 4 minutes of rest between.  The rest should allow you to attack each one with full force.  If you notice, the only change to the rowing and push ups is the amount (they decrease each AMRAP), but the pull up bar movement changes each AMRAP.

Video courtesy of WOD Star.  *If you at a spot where there are no rowers, you’ll sub sumo deadlift high pulls.  This mimics the movement and stimulus of the rower pretty darn close

S/S/S:

Overhead Squat

5X3

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Our third time hitting Overhead Squat this cycle.  This week, the reps go down per set, but we’re back up to 5 sets.  The goal is to go for even heavier weight than the 5X5 or the 3X5 weeks.  At this point, you should be more confident in keeping a stable OH position.  Remember, always point those armpits straight ahead and keep the torso upright throughout the movement.

Video courtesy of Functional Bodybuilding.  This EMOM should result in about 15-20 seconds rest each minute if you move with a purpose.  That said, don’t sacrifice form for speed. For the OH Walking lunge, take the first five steps with the DB locked out Oh in your Left arm. Turn around, switch the DB to the right hand, and do 5 more OH walking lunges (should end up back where you started)

 

 

Scaling Options:

DB weight -> 35/25 -> 25/15 -> as needed

 

If you have NO stability with even a light DB overhead for the lunge, go no weight, but keep arm locked out overhead

On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9– when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was downed in Afghanistan.

In the wake of the unimaginable tragedy, a mission was born. Following the downing of Extortion 17, a fundraising WOD—hosted at more than 430 gyms around the country with more than 10,000 participants—raised $300,000 over a four-week period to support the 30 families affected. This prompted the organizers to create 31Heroes to remember our fallen heroes and take care of their loved ones.  Humbled by the massive response and inspired by the impact on the families of these heroes, 31Heroes recognized an opportunity to reach even more families. Soon, new events and WODs were organized with the help of a growing network of passionate volunteers.  Today, as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, they assist athletes and event organizers around the country with tools and resources to continue the legacy of selflessness and comradery of August 6, 2011.  Through strategic alliances with other organizations they can ensure that all proceeds directly fund programs that support service members and their families, including the Navy SEAL community.  Since the first event in 2011, more than $1.5 million has been given back to our nation’s heroes and their families through grant-making opportunities and partnership programs. In 2015, 31Heroes launched the initiative to support treatment for veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or Traumatic Brain Injury.   For more info on the 31 Heroes foundation, click on the above pic.

Today’s event kicks off at 0600 at the Combat PT Tent.  Teams of 2.  As stated previously, due to COVID-19 safety precautions, this event is limited to AD, Guard, and Reserve military members only.  All others, please feel free to join us in spirit from your own location.

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Our second time hitting our Pulling movement for this cycle will be the Sumo Deadlift.  The sets go down, from the 5X5 week, so aim to go heavier each set.  As you see in this video, wind up the hips in set up, then the second the back is flat and then shins touch the bar, lift!

Devil’s Press (50/35)

Handstand Push Ups

Video courtesy of CrossFit Federal Hill.  Ah, the return of a fan-favorite, the Devil’s Press!  Take the tips on the video to heart to make these as efficient as possible.  The more efficient the movement, the fast you get through the reps.  The faster you get through the reps the quicker this WOD is done!

WOD:

EMOM for 24:

Min 3 – 20 Mountain Climbers (L+R = 1 Rep)

You should be able to keep the work for each minute to the first 30-40 seconds of each minute.  The limiting factor for most will be the Double Unders.  If you are just starting to get DUs, if you miss the rep count more than once in a given minute, scale back to a number you can make.

 

Scaling Options:

DUs ->50 Penguin Hops -> 100 Single Unders -> 100 Bunny hops

Video courtesy of WOD Prep.  Demo of Penguin Hops.  These are perfect if the timing of the doulbe under is what is limiting you.

%s Based off 11Mar2020 1RM

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Our second time hitting out Snatch complex for this cycle.  Again, we’ll be taking off from the floor, below the knee, and above the knee.  The goal is to hold onto the bar through the entire complex before letting go.  USE the hook grip!  With the %s going up this week, this becomes even more important.  I would prefer to see Squat Snatches in all these, but if dropping into a squat snatch is still a work in progress, hit each as a Power Snatch, and then do an OHS

WOD:

3 Rounds for Time:

20 Cal Row*

30 Hang Power Cleans (95/65)

400M Run

 

*If you don’t have a rower, 20 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (95/65)
