Warmup:

Grab light KB and pair of light DBs

3 Rounds:

10 KB Deadlifts

5 Push-ups on DBs

4 Devil’s Press (see video below, courtesy of NCFit)

WOD:

For Time:

100 American KB Swings* (53/35)

*Every Minute on the Minute, do 3 Devil’s Press (50/35)

 

Three-minute rest, then…

 

100 Alt DB Snatch* (50/35)

*Every Minute on the Minute, do 6 Alt Goblet Lunges (53/35)

Video courtesy of WOD Star.  Demo of the Alternating Goblet Lunge.  So, as you start this WOD, your goal is to get a good enough chunk of KB swings done per minute, but still have enough in you to do the EMOM Devil Press reps before going right back to the KB swings.  That said, don’t try to get all the reps done in one minute.  That just won’t happen.  Once you hit the 100 swings, take that 3-minute break, then keep the same game plan, but this time when doing Alternating DB Snatches.  I would suggest at about 10 seconds before the end of every minute, stop and get ready for the EMOM Goblet Lunges.

Video courtesy of Troy CrossFit.  Final take on High Bar Back Squats this cycle before we re-test our 5X5.  So, just like yesterday’s Clean Pulls, looking for a heavy set of 5, then a heavy set of 4, then a heavy set of 3, then a heavy double, then a heavy single.  If you hit a new 1RM, awesome.  If not, then aim for something that is heavy enough to really push you. Keep that tight torso!  Remember, these will improve your receive position in both the clean and snatch.

WOD:

“OPEN 11.2”

AMRAP 15:

9 Deadlifts 155/100

12 Push Ups

15 Box Jumps (24/20)

Video courtesy of the CrossFit Games.   As the 2021 Open approaches, we’ll be looking back at some of the previous years’ Open WODs.  Today is a fun little triplet with a little bit of weight lifting and a couple of basic gymnastics movements.  The first round will feel pretty easy, but remember, your goal is to keep moving the whole 15 minutes, so don’t hit the gas too quick from the get-go.  Steady pace with a sprint at the end should be the goal.

 

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 135/95 -> As needed

Video courtesy of Shape Fit.  Demo of Farmer’s Walk.  Score each AMRAP separately. As you progress from one AMRAP to the next, the bar weight will go up, but the reps for Power Snatch do drop per round, so aim to get as many if not more rounds in the second AMRAP as you got in the first.  Same goes for the third.  For the Farmer’s Walk, one KB per hand.  IF you are in a spot without KBs, feel free to sub DBs or plate holds.

 

Scaling Options:

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed

Bar weight -> as needed, but make jumps going from one AMRAP to the next

Video courtesy of Ascension Strength.  Demo of the banded pullovers.  Third time hitting Bench press this cycle!!!  Again, if you are still working from home and don’t have a Bench, feel free to substitute Floor Press in..  This week, we drop to 3 reps per set, so aim for heavier weight per set than what you used for 3X5 week.

WOD:

AMRAP 18:

3 Push Ups

3 Shoulder to OH (115/80)

3 Ab Mat Sit Ups

6 Push Ups

6 Shoulder to OH (115/80)

6 Ab Mat Sit Ups

…etc

add 3 reps each round

With ascending ladder AMRAPS, the first few sets will make you feel confident you can keep a sprint pace.  Best to stay at a steady pace the whole time so you don’t run out of gas.  For the Shoulder to OH, you can use strict press, push press, push jerk, or split jerk.  Whatever you want, just get through them as quickly as possible
