WOD:
CrossFit Open Throwback
12.1:
7 Min AMRAP
Burpee to 6″ reach
Video courtesy of The CrossFit Games. Throwback to the first WOD of the 2012 CrossFit Worldwide Open. Things have come a long way since then, but this one still kills.
Today, the idea is to work on efficiency in your row and ski erg technique to finish the required distance as fast as possible. Same goes for Pull Ups and Toe2Bar. The more efficient your are (maintain hollow body position, keep feet together, use hips over using arms), the quicker the reps finish, and less fatiqued you’ll be (due to not muscling the movement).
Scaling Options:
Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups
Video courtesy of NotKrisRoe. Quick Demo on Buddha Pull Ups. Goal here is to make them difficult enough to help build back strength to get you closer to being able to pull your body up for a pull up. Make it challenging!
Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. Third time hitting Sumo Deadlifts this cycle. With less reps per set today, goal is to go heavier than you did in the 5X3 and 3X5 weeks.
WOD:
15 Min AMRAP:
10 Double KB Cleans
20 Double KB Front Squats
30 Double KB Russian Swings
Weight: 35/25
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ, demo of Double KB Cleans. Once you pick up the weights, perform them in the hang for your sets.
Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. With the Double KB swings, you only have to come to Russian height on them.
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Athletes can use KBs, DBs, or Bar today. Goal is work up to a heavy single with good form, or practice form for the 15 min.
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Third time through our C&J complex this cycle. The weight stays the same as last time, but reps go up each set. Therefore, sets increase to every 3 min.
WOD:
Open Re-Test
In 12 Min, Complete…
Workout 18.2
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reps for time of:
Dumbbell squats (50/35)
Bar-facing Burpees
and
Workout 18.2a
1-Rep-Max Clean
Video courtesy of the CrossFit Games.
So, with a running clock, you have 12 minutes to finish 18.2. If you finish before the 12 minutes, the remaining time (up to the 12 min cap) is to complete 18.2a.
Let’s see how much we have improved since last March!
