This should give you vibes of CrossFit Open WOD 23.2.  Aim to keep the shuttle runs on a steady pace and find manageable chunks on the OHS.  I would caution against unbroken past set 1 as that will be a lot of taxing on the shoulders, and you have a heavy single in Power Snatch coming up later.

 ******If athletes begin the WOD with a Row, they finish with a Run and vice versa. 

The workout symbolizes the events that unfolded on September 11, 2001, in its design.  The date and year are represented by the row (i.e. 2001 meters) and the 9 movements, each including 11 repetitions. The 125-pound Thrusters represent the deaths that occurred at the Pentagon; the 175-pound Power Clean stands for AA Flight 175 that collided with the South Tower; Flight 77 and Flight 93 were combined and are represented in the 170-pound Deadlift; and the 110-pound Push Jerk signifies the number floors in each of the Twin Towers.

Second time hitting our Clean Complex this cycle.  Again, with the low hang, focus on pushing the knees out of the way (do NOT lock them back, rather screw the feet in so the knees move out of the way) and keeping the bar in as straight a path as possible.

WOD:

EMOM 12:

5 Dual DB Deadlifts (50/35)

5 Dual DB Hang Squat Cleans

5 Dual DB Thrusters

Videos courtesy of CrossFit HQ.

On the Dual DB deadlifts, only one head per DB needs to make contact with the ground.  Your goal should be once you complete the 5th DL, after you stand all the way up, go right into the hang squat cleans.  On your last Squat Clean, keep the DBs on the shoulder and go right to the Thrusters.  This will get spicy quick!  Don’t stress if the rest time gets smaller and smaller.  Keep your movements perfect and you’ll get through!
