2@75%

Sets start every 3 min

%s Based off 19May2022 1RM

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Our second go at the 3-Position Snatch complex.  Reminder, you will hit one Snatch from the floor, hold onto the bar, set up right below the knee, hit a second snatch, hold onto the bar, and perform one more snatch at the hang (above the knee).  In between the reps, if your grip is starting to go, put the bar in your hip, and re-grip your hands if necessary.  Good hip explosion and fast drop under the bar will make these successful.  If the squat snatch is a limiting factor, either lighten up the weight, or hit power snatches, and ride down for an OHS every rep.

WOD:

21-18-15-12-9-6-3:

Ab Mat Sit Ups

Box Jump Overs (24″/20″)

*8/6 Cal Bike after every round of Box Jump Overs

Time Cap: 18 Min

Video courtesy of Reebok CrossFit ONE.  Quick Ab-Mat Sit Up demo. Look to start at a good  pace on the ab-mat sit ups and the box jump overs, and as the reps lessen each round, aim to go even faster.  Also, keep a good pace going on the Bike every time.

Scaling Options:

Ab-mat Sit Up -> feet anchored (Elite -> GHD)

Box height -> 20/16 -> as needed (Elite: 30/24)

Cool Down:

Kneeling shoulder stretch on box 2 Min

Barbell warmup: Place empty barbell in rack, then perform 2 rounds of 5 press, 5 push press, 5 push jerk, 3 split jerk

S/S/S:

Split Jerk

3X5

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Today, we are back on our Split Jerk work for the cycle. Sets drop to 3, so aim on going heavier than the 5X5 week.  Just like last time, the goal is here getting an very violent hip extension, then driving our bodies down under the bar FAST, as we PUNCH to lock out the arms overhead as we land in the split.  Focus on the fast drop and the punch to avoid having to press more than needed on the catch.

WOD:

AMRAP 12:

50 Double Unders

100m Dual KB Overhead Walk (35/25)

Video courtesy of Lindy Barber.  Quick demo of the Dual KB Overhead Walk. To make this WOD successful, you’ll need to focus on relaxing the shoulders during the double unders. Otherwise, the shoulders may get overly fatigued prior to the OH carry, making it much harder to go unbroken (suggest no more than one break in the 100M) on that piece.  So, to do that, don’t aim to go super fast on your rope, rather find the rhythm that allows you to successfully get the dub and not trip up on your rope.  The harder you try to speed up the rope, the more the shoulders get taxed.

Scaling Options:

Double Unders -> cut to 35 per round ->100 Single Unders (Elite: 100 DUs)

KB weight -> 25/15 -> as needed (Elite: 53/35)

Cool Down:

Calf Stretch on Rig – 1 Min per side

Warmup:

Super Squat Hip Sequence – see video below, courtesy of Mobility WOD

Barbell Warmup: With an empty bar perform 5 reps of: Good mornings, Back Squat, then 3 in-place lunge per leg, then 3 Bulgarian split squat (foot on box or bench)

S/S/S:

Bulgarian Split Squat

3X5 (per leg)

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Second time hitting work the Bulgarian Split Squat this cycle.  Our sets drop to 3, so goal is to go heavier per working set than you did in the 5X5 week.  Remember, you can do all 5 on one leg before moving to the other leg.

WOD:

For Time*:

100 Wall Balls (20/14)

*Every Minute on the Minute – 5 Pull Ups

*WOD begins with 5 Pull Ups

Time Cap: 15 Min

Video courtesy of Invictus Fitness.  Some good tips on Wall Ball efficiency. So, if you do the quick math, you need to average 7 or more reps per minute to make it under the cap.  Sounds very doable, but don’t forget, those pull ups will start to tax you a few minutes in.  My suggestion, go until about 10 seconds left per minute, just to have enough time to catch your breath before getting the pull ups out of the way and having enough gas in the tank to knock out some solid wall balls every minute.

Scaling Options:

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

Pull ups -> Buddha Rows -> Ring Rows (Elite: Bar Muscle Ups)

Cool Down:

Couch Stretch – 2 min per side

Kneeling lat stretch – 1 min per arm

WOD:

EMOM 32:

Min 1 – 6 Burpee to Kipping Pull Ups

Min 2 – 8 Strict Ring Dips

Min 3 – 6 Box Jumps (30″/24″)

Min 4 – 8 Handstand Push Ups

Videos courtesy of OPEN Fitness and Train FTW, respectively.  Quick demos on the Burpee to Kipping Pull up and the Strict Ring Dip. Looking for increasing our ability to move our body through space today.  Each minute’s work will tackle a different version of that goal.  Minute one focuses on hip flexion (coming off the ground in a burpee and back side of the kip in a kipping pull ups) and extension (jump to the bar).  Minute two is building raw shoulder and triceps strength.  Minute 3 generating as much force as possible on a hip extension to hit a higher box jump.  Finally, minute 4 focuses on core stability and shoulder strength in a handstand, as well as hip power in a kipping handstand push up.

Scaling Options:

Burpee to kipping pull up -> burpee to jumping pull up (video courtesy of OPEX Fitness)

Ring dips -> stationary dips -> box or bench dips

Box height -> 26/22 -> as needed

HSPUs -> Pike push up off box -> pike push up off floor -> high kneel DB press

+ 1 Jerk at the end of ea set.

Sets start every 3 min

%s Based off 19May2022 1RM

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Our Clean & Jerk variation this cycle will mimic our Snatch variation.  We will hit a 3-position Clean Complex.  One complex consists of a Clean from the floor, one from above the knee, and one from below the knee.  Hook grip will be a necessity to get through this one.  Make sure you open those hips as violently as possible to get that bar moving, then as fast as you can, throw those elbows in front of the bar to get into the catch.

WOD:

“Hang on, Annie”

50-40-30-20-10:

Double Unders

Toes2Bar

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Little spin on a classic CrossFit Benchmark.  Instead of sit ups, we up the game to Toe2Bars today!  Best advice I can give is “how do you eat an elephant?  One bit at a time”.  Unless you are a gymnastics ninja that can do Toe2Bars all day, don’t try to go unbroken on the bigger sets of Toe2Bar.  Rather, have a manageable number in your head to hit, come off the bar, shake out, and attack again!  With the added should fatigue in the Toe2Bar, try your best to relax the arms in the dubs. Find a steady pace rather than sprint in those.

Scaling Options:

Dubs -> 3X Single Unders

Toe2Bar -> Kipping knee raise -> strict knee raise -> laying T2B -> V-Ups

Cool Down:

Calf Stretch on rig – 1 Min per side

Couch Stretch – 2 Min per side

400M Run

–2 Min rest–

Repeat for a total of 4 Rounds

Score = total work time

Video courtesy of CrossFit Inguz.  Some good box jump over techniques here. So, this task-based WOD will reward you for faster movements.  You finish the required reps/cals/distance under 10 minutes, that means you get extra rest!  If, you are not able to finish the required work in the 10 minutes, still at the 10-minute mark, stop for the 2-min break.  And on the next round, scale back whatever is the limiting factor.

Scaling Options:

Box height -> 20/16 -> as needed

No bike available -> 35/30 Cal Row

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (Elite – 70/53)

S/S/S:

Deficit Deadlift

5X5

Increase weight ea set

Videos courtesy of Rogue Fitness. Our pulling movement for this cycle will focus on the Deficit Deadlift.  The goal here is to build strength in the initial pull off the ground in the deadlift.  By making us stronger in a further distance than our traditional deadlift set-up, we should not have a sticking point right off the ground in a traditional deadlift.  That said, pay extra attention on bracing your core and keeping your back as flat as possible through the lift.

WOD:

“13 Ghosts”

AMRAP 13:

13 Pull Ups

13/10 Cal Row

GHD -> Ab Mat Sit Ups

Videos courtesy of OPEX Fitness, Thomas Hoffman, Functional Bodybuilding, and Train FTW, respectively.  Quick demos of the sled push and pulls, Dual DB Hang Power Snatch, and Dual DB Burpee Deadlifts. Getting a little teamwork to start off week 2 of our new strength cycle. Have a good plan going into the WOD with your partner.  Would suggest setting up a 25’ area, and have one partner push the sled down and back (total of 50’), then have partner 2 do the same.  Repeat until all 200’ are complete. For the DB movements, maybe go 5 at a time.  Find what works for you and your partner!  Also, if going solo, just cut the reps and distance in half.

Scaling Options:

Sled weight -> 70/25 -> as needed

DB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed

If no partner, cut reps/distance in half

Cool Down:
