WOD:

19.1

Complete As Many Rounds as possible in 15 Minutes of:

19 Wall Balls (20/14) Men- to a 10′ target, Ladies- to a 9 ‘ target

19 Cal Row

NOTES

The workout begins with the medicine ball on the ground and athlete standing tall. After the call of “3, 2, 1… go,” the athlete will pick up the ball and perform the wall-ball shots. After 19 reps are complete, the athlete will move to the rower and pull 19 calories. The monitor must read 19 calories before the athlete can unstrap and move back to the wall-ball shots for the next round.

The athlete’s score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 15-minute time cap. Each calorie completed on the row will be equal to 1 rep.

There is no tiebreak for this workout.

Movement Standards:

Wall Balls:

In the wall-ball shot, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the specified target.

The rep is credited when the center of the ball hits the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall, it is a “no rep.” If the ball drops to the ground from the top, it cannot be caught off the bounce to begin the next rep. The ball must settle on the ground before being picked up for the next rep.

Row:

The monitor on the rower must be set to zero at the beginning of each row. The athlete may have assistance resetting the monitor. The athlete must stay seated on the rower until the monitor reads 19 calories.

 

Scaling Options:

Wall Balls -> 14/10

The worldwide CrossFit Open begins this Thursday!  It’s a great time of the year to see how, over the next five weeks, how you match up with the rest of the world.  And it’ll be FUN!!!!!  The weekly WOD will be released each Thursday during the Open, and it will be our WOD on that Friday.  Sign up to be part of our Affiliate Team at https://games.crossfit.com/

S/S/S:

10 Min to find highest unbroken Double Under number

WOD:

16-14-12-10-8* of:

50″ shuttle Runs

 

*45 Double Unders after each round

The way this works is you will do 16 shuttle runs (from start line to the 50’ mark is 1, running back to the start line is 2, and so on), then 45 double unders, then 14 shuttle runs, then 45 DUS, etc… until you finish 45 double unders after the round of 8 shuttle runs.

What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than by placing your faith in the hard work of your partner as they will do the same with you!  The row should be a mini sprint, and make the transition between partners fast so you have as much time as possible to hit the Power Snatches!

WOD:

“Bear Complex”

 

5 Rounds of:

Without stopping or dropping the bar, complete the following sequence Seven times:

Power Clean

Front Squat

Push Press (have bar land behind head, in rear-rack position)

Back Squat

Behind the Neck Push-Press (have bar land on chest, in front-rack position)

 

Increase weight each Round

 

Compare to 16Jul2018

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  As mentioned above, one rep of the Bear complex consists of a Power Clean, a Front Squat, a Push Press, a Back Squat, and a Behind the Neck Push Press. The kicker is, you cannot let go of the bar during a set (7 reps). When you go from back push press of one rep to the power clean of the next rep, the bar can only touch and go off the ground. Also, the clean and the front squat cannot be combined. You must fully open the hips at the finish of the power clean before starting your front squat. But, you are allowed to combine the Front Squat and Push Press into a Thrusters. Same goes for the Back Squat and BTN Push Press into a Back Thruster. Obviously, this is going to be rough to hold onto for 7 reps, so find rest spots where you can. I would suggest if you need a breather during a round, do it when the bar is on your back for the back squat (before going into the back Thruster). You will do a total of 5 sets of 7 reps. Rest as much between sets, and increase weight each set.
