On rig: Perform 5 reps of: Scap Pull Ups, Kip Swings, Strict Pull Ups (or ring rows), kipping pull ups (or ring rows)
Barbell Warmup: Set up for Floor Press and complete 2X5 empty bar Floor Press
S/S/S:
Floor Press
5X3
Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Third go of Floor Press this cycle. Reps drop to 3 per set, so look to go heavier per set than the 3X5 week. Really focus on keeping the hips on the ground. If you arch up and the hips, come off the ground, you’re not doing yourself any favors and risk injury.
WOD:
12 Min AMRAP:
27 Wall Balls
18 Cal Ski Erg
9 Pull Ups
Video courtesy of Train FTW. Some good Ski Erg tips here.
When doing the wall balls, try dropping the arms and not cranking the neck up while the ball is going up to the target. This will help keep your shoulders and upper back from fatiguing prior to the Ski erg and pull ups.
Scaling Options:
MB weight -> 14/10 -> as needed
No ski erg -> Banded ski erg 2 reps = 1 Cal
Pull Ups -> Banded Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups -> Ring Rows

Nothing better than a descending ladder of Handstand Push ups and the Echo Bike to make your Tuesday!! Steady pace on the higher reps sets with a focus on picking up speed when you get into single digits.
Scaling Options:
HSPUs -> Pike Push Ups off box -> pike push up off floor -> hand-release push ups

No Echo bike or assault bike -> row, start at 30 cals, down to 3

Third go of our new Snatch Complex. %s stay the same, but the rep count goes up, so time for each set goes up to 4 min. Again, make sure the bar comes to a complete stop between the Snatch Pull and Power Snatch. Want to make sure we set up in the proper position prior to hitting that Power Snatch.
WOD:
“Randy”
For Time:
75 Power Snatches (75/55)

Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member was killed February 7, 2013 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Simmons’ wife and two children. Go for big chunks, but do NOT let your back round over as you come down with the weight. The weight will feel light, but if your form goes south, you can really tax that low back in a bad way.
Barbell warmup: With an empty bar, perform 5 reps of: Good mornings, sumo stance good mornings, sumo stance RDLs, Sumo Deadlifts
S/S/S:
Sumo Deadlift
3X5
Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of Barbell Brigade. Second run at Sumo Deadlifts this cycle. Again, looking to create some good strength throughout the posterior chain and add some hip flexibility in as well. In your setup: brace your core, push your knees out, get the hips close to the bar without losing tension, then explode in the lift, and squeeze the glutes at the top instead of over-extending the back.
WOD:
For Time:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Cal Row
100-90-80-70-60-50-40-30-20-10 Double Unders
16 Min Time Cap
Video courtesy of Dark Horse Rowing. So, the WOD begins with 10 Cals on the row, then 100 Double Unders, then 9 cals on row, then 90 Dubs,…etc until you get to 1 Cal on the Row and 10 Dubs. You’ll have to push the pace to make it under the cap today, but that’s what we want to see, all out effort no matter where we end

Our second run of our Clean & Jerk Complex. As stated before, take a quick second between the Power Clean and Front Squat, as well as between the Front Squat and Split Jerk, to set up properly before going into the next move. %s go up, so keep form tight!!!
WOD:
AMRAP 17:
15 Hang DB Power Cleans (50/35)
12 DB Front Squats
9 DB Push Press
400M Run
Goal = 3+ Rounds
Video courtesy of Wolfpack Training. In the Hang DB Power Clean, keep the DBs between the legs so we get more of a hip hinge and save our backs. This will also let you go right into the Front Squats once you finish the Hang Power Cleans as feet will be set about shoulder width.

Again, our goal this cycle is getting stronger and more efficient in the Overhead Squat to help you stabilize your catch position in the Snatch as well as having more strength in the end range of any OH pressing motion. With the work sets dropping to 3, look to go heavier per set than we did on the 5X5 week.

Keep your deadlift form dialed in on this one. Don’t let the back start rounding. As stated above, after each rest period, you will start back at 2 deadlifts, 2 bar facing burpees, 4 deadlifts, etc…
