NOTE: This week, the gym will be on Holiday hours on July 4th and 5th.
For every 4-min round, you must complete a 200M run, 10 Cal row, and 50 yds (25 down, 25 back) of bear crawl. Any time left over is rest. If you are unable to finish all the required movements in a round, then at the end of the 4 min, go back to the start, but scale back reps or distance.
Scaling Options:
Run -> .2 mile assault bike

Points of performance to remember: 1) Start the movement by with a dip and drive, break at the hips and knees dipping straight down and dynamically straight back up, keeping the torso vertical. 2)Open the Hip aggressively and completely. 3)Push yourself down under the bar and catch the bar in full lockout. 4)Drive through the heels back to a standing position.
Scaling Options:
Ring Dip -> Stationary Dip -> Box Dip
GHD -> Ab mat Sit Up
Box height -> as needed
*One team starts with the run. As a team, they must carry one 40# sand bag and one 25# sand bag the entire way. They can move the bag between teammates as they see fit. During that time, the other team will use one Assault Bike and go for Max Calories. Teammates can swap out as often as need be. Biking stops once the entire running team is back in the tent area. Also, biking does not start until running team is out of the tent. Team with the most cals after 3 rounds is the winner.

| This cycle’s pull will focus on the clean pull, which in turn will benefit our cleans at the end of the cycle. As the video shows, set up like you’re doing a clean, but finish with triple extension (hips, knees, ankles) and a violent shrug. People always ask “Should I come up on my toes at the top?” Greg Everett said it best on Catalyst Athletics when he wrote “The aggressiveness of the push against the ground should result in the lifter’s heels rising off the floor as the extension is completed.” So, don’t focus on coming up on your toes. Focus on violently pushing through the ground as you extend your hips Weight-wise, you should end at roughly your 1RM for C&J or close to it. |
This one is done “Fight-Gone-Bad” style, meaning it is max reps at every station, and there is no break between stations (the last station is a minute rest, so yay! Built in rest). Go all out, but the coach should let you know when you have 15-10 seconds left, so you can decide if you want to get a few more reps, or stop and transition to the next movement (except hang squat cleans. Rest is next, so go until the end of the minute). If the coach does not, athlete should try to be in a position to see the clock
Scaling Options:
DUs -> SUs
Bar weight – as needed, but use same bar for both movements
HSPUs -> Pike Push Ups

A classic from the great minds of CrossFit Omaha…
*Shooter’s Choice. You get only 20 minutes to complete the workout. If you scale to Buddha pull ups or ring rows, you are automatically relegated to workout C. Workout C is also the only workout were you are allowed to scale down the pull up reps even more if needed. The major goal is to finish the workout under the time cap, as this is where the intensity is and intensity is where the results are.
Scaling Options:
Pull Ups –> Buddha Pull Ups* -> Ring Rows
Run-> A – 1K row per run
B – 750M Row per run
C – 50M row per run
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Time to jump into our next cycle!

For the three position Snatch complex, in a snatch grip pick up the bar and stand all the way up. From here, slight dip in the legs (high hang), then explode up, and pull yourself under to hit a squat snatch. Hold onto the bar, and bring it to right above the knee. From here, move the bar up until it reaches mid thigh, then explode up, then drop under for another squat snatch. Finally, bring the bar to the ground, set your back correctly, and then perform a squat snatch. Again, the goal is to hold onto the bar through the cycle if possible.
*Switch arms after 10 steps
Goal of this WOD is to never stop moving. That means you don’t have to attempt to set a land-speed record on round 1. It means, move at a deliberate pace that allows you to move constantly through the entire 15 minutes.

Med ball weight ->as needed

Time to see how honing technique over the past 9 weeks has worked for us. Trust in your technique and see what you can move!
| Suggested reps leading to 1RM: 5@50%, 4@60%, 3@70%, 2@75%, singles at 80-95% jumping either 5 or 10% depending on feel. Then old 1RM, then 5% above that. If successful, keep going up in 3-5% increments. We’ve hit some good work on pause deadlifts to stretngthen up one of the most common sticking points for folks and made us more secure coming from the ground. Try to push yourself to a go 1 rep, but do not sacrifice form to get a big weight. Be smart and keep your form on point! |
So, WOD starts with 30 DB Thrusters, then 15 T2B, then 20 Thrusters, then 10 T2B, then 10 Thrusters, and finishes with 5 T2B
Scaling Options:
DB weight -> as needed

Time to see if the last few weeks of progression paid off! Look back on the weights you did on 27 Apr, and goal should be to go heavier than the weights you used that day.
