Second go of our clean complex for the cycle.  Again, one rep of the complex will consist of one hang Clean (preferably squat), holding onto the bar, bringing it to the ground, re-setting the hips and performing one Clean from the ground (again, prefer you do Squat Clean). %s go up, so keep a solid grip on the bar!  Also, since you are only hitting one jerk per set, make that rep count.  Get some good explosion coming up, and then a quick punch under the bar to stick the landing.

WOD:

15 Min AMRAP:

20/14 Cal Bike

15 Chest-to-bar Pull Ups

10 Burpee to 6″ target

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.

Classic CrossFit, grunt work-style workout for us today.  What I mean by that is, with this AMRAP, you can take the foot off the gas and just move through at a pace that doesn’t really get too high of numbers.  Sure, you’ll work for the full 15 minutes, but won’t get a lot out of it.  Or, you can grit down and try to push the pace, try to get more unbroken reps in each movement and try to NOT take long rests between movements. Sled dogs never think “well, I could run slower”.  They just want to pull until the pulling is done.  Be a sled dog.

With the Open not too far away, we’ll start seeing some volume increase on some common movements we’re likely to see in the Open.  Take, for example, our buy-in and cash-out of wall balls.  The more upright you can keep your torso, the better you can perform this move without unneeded back strain. For the KB Lateral Box Step Overs, again, an upright torso will keep the tension on the legs and off the low back.

Second go at our Snatch complex for the cycle.  Make the goal of dropping faster to the bottom of the Snatch each rep.  Really attack that position with a very solid catch!  %s go up, so stay tight!!!

WOD:

32-16-8:

Dumbbell Push Press (50/35)

DB Burpee Deadlifts (50/35)

*400M Run after each round of Burpee Deadlifts

The weight on these DBs should feel a little heavy (especially on the push press).  If the strength is there to go unbroken, do it!  But, for most of us, would look to take probably two breaks in round one, one break in round 2, and then unbroken on round 3.  Take care to not let the back round as you stand in the burpee deadlift.

Scaling Options:

DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed

Run -> 500M Row or .75-mile bike

So, hit the bear crawl, then one round of the 5/10/20, then bear crawl, then 2 rounds of the 5/10.20, then bear crawl, then 3 rounds of the 5/10/20, etc.…  Best way to set this one up is set a 25’ area for the bear crawl.  Bear crawl 25’ down and back x 2 for the total of 100’.  The 5/10/20 rounds are set similar to “Cindy”, just with different movements.  Goal is to find a steady pace through those rounds and make up time with the bear crawl.  Goal should be to make it into the round of 5.  Can you make it?

Banded Deadlift

5X5

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.

Looking to use a bit of the overload principle for deadlifts this cycle.  By adding band resistance to the lift, the load increases the higher you move the bar.  This will help eliminate sticking points when you go back to a heavy regular deadlift.  Whatever band you use in week one, try to use that same band throughout the cycle.

WOD:

EMOM 16:

Min 1 – 12 Russian KB Swings (70/55)

Min 2 – 15 KB Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (70/55)
