WOD:
15 Rounds For Reps:
:30 Burpees
– Rest :30
:30 Wall Balls (20/14)
– Rest :30
Score = Total reps
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Want to save your low back and shoulders in Burpees? Check out the tips. Equal work/rest WODs always look inviting on paper. But give it a few rounds and it might prove difficult to maintain the same rep scheme you had in the first couple rounds. Best suggestion is, don’t shoot for the moon in the first couple rounds. Find a pace you feel confident you can maintain throughout the 30 minutes, and then make it your goal to maintain or exceed that pace each and every round. And yes, to clarify, one round consists of the 30-sec of burpee, a 30 sec break, a 30-sec of wall ball work, and a 30 sec break.
On Rig: Perform 5 reps of: scap pull ups, kip swings, strict pull ups or ring rows, kipping pull ups or ring rows
Barbell w/u: With an empty bar, perform 5 reps of: Good mornings, RDLs, Deadlifts (to mid-shin), Good mornings, deadlift from bottom of shin
S/S/S:
Deficit Deadlift
3X5
Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. Our second run of Deficit Deadlifts this cycle. The sets drop to 3, so aim to go heavier per set than you did on the 5X5 week. As stated before, 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:
AMRAP 14:
60 Double Unders
40/30 Cal Row
20 Deadlifts (185/125)
10 Pull Ups
Video courtesy of Train FTW. Want to keep your shoulders from getting blowed up during dubs, try the suggestions here. Looking to push our threshold starting in the posterior chain with the rope work, row, and deadlifts. Then we’ll shift the pain to higher on the back with the pull ups. Maintain a good rhythm on the rope, a steady/fast pace on the row, and find manageable chunks for the deads and pull ups
Scaling Options:
Dubs -> cut to 45 Dubs per round -> 120 Single Unders
30 Leaning front rest – see video below, courtesy of DogTown CrossFit
2 Wall Walks w/5 shoulder taps per side at top of walk
S/S/S:
Spend 15 min on Handstand Pushup or Walk Progression
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Our goal here is to get some practice time on being inverted. If still working handstand, focus on handstand holds and slow negatives on the HSPUs. If working HS walk, find some progressions like in this video.
WOD:
5 Rounds:
5 Wall Walks
10 Ring Dips
15 Toe to Bar
*Advanced – sub out 25′ Handstand Walk for the Wall Walks
Video courtesy of Carl Paoli. On the wall walks, the goal is to get the chest or nose to touch the wall. If you are not there, get as close as you can.
Scaling Options:
Wall Walks -> 3 Shoulder Taps per side for every 1 Wall Walk -> 30 sec plank hold
Ring Dips -> Stationary or box dips -> hand release push ups
Barbell w/u: With an empty bar and clean grip, per form 3 reps of: dip/shrug, dip/shrug/high pull, high hang power clean, hang power clean (mid-thigh), Power Clean from shin
Pic courtesy of CrossFit High Voltage. On June 30, 2013 we tragically lost 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew to the Yarnell Hill Fire. On August 31, 2013 the CrossFit community came together in Prescott, AZ to perform a memorial workout to benefit the families of 19 fallen firefighters from the Granite Mountain Hotshots. We will do a running of this WOD today from 0600-0900.
Barbell warmup: With an empty bar, and in snatch grip, per form 3 reps of: dip/shrug, dip/shrug/high elbows, OHS, high hang muscle snatch, hang power snatch, hang Squat Snatch, Low hang (below knee) Squat Snatch, Squat Snatch from mid-shin.
S/S/S:
3-Postion Snatch (Floor, Below the Knee, above the knee)
3@65%
3@70%
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.
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)
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)
5 Cobra to hip snap – see video below, courtesy of Invictus Fitness
Then…
2 Rounds:
10 sec bottom of ring dip hold
10 sec top of ring dip hold
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

10 Spider-Man lunge w/twist
30 High-jump Single Unders
10 Thoracic High Fives
20 Double Unders or 4 attempts
10 Over & Backs
Barbell warmup: With an empty bar and hands in clean grip, perform 3 reps of: RDL, dip/shrug, dip/shrug/high elbow, hang power clean, front squat, hang squat clean above knee, hang squat clean below knee, squat clean from mid-shin. Put down bar, shake out arms, pick bar back up and perform 3 reps of: press, push press, push jerk, split jerk
S/S/S:

+ 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.
