This week is meant to test muscular endurance. Still make jumps each set.
WOD:
EMOM 16:
Min 1 – 8 Thrusters (115/80)
Min 2 – 10 D-ball Ground to over shoulder* (50/35)
Video courtesy of Dave Levey.
Either version shown works fine. Goal is to not lift the d-ball with stiff legs, and make sure you use a violent hip extension to get the ball up and over the shoulder.
Scaling Options:
Bar weight -> as needed (should be a weight you can do 15+ reps unbroken if you were fresh)

Quick demo of a feet pinch and pull from a box and a rope walk. If your arm strength is good and your limiting factor is knowing how to clamp the feet and pull up, go with the feet pinch and pull. If your limiting factor is arm strength, go rope walk.

WOD:
Teams of 2:
7 Min As many Cals as possible on Assault Bike
6 Min As many Cals as possible on Rower
5 Min As Many Cals as possible on Ski Erg
*One partner working at a time, switch as needed
**No rest between movements
So, the clock will run for a total of 18 min. From 0:00 – 07:00, partners get as many cals as possible on the Assault Bike, switching as needed. Right at 07:00 and going until 13:00, partners will Row for as many cals as possible. Right at 13:00, and going until 18:00, partner will get as many cals as possible on the ski erg. Your score is the total cals from all three. Since the clock does not stop, it is highly suggested, whoever is finishing up on one movement at the end of a time period, the other partner, be on the next piece of equipment, ready to start at the time change.
Last time through doing our C&J complex before re-testing our 1RM. Weights are at their heaviest thus far, so the rounds go to every 3 Min.
WOD:
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1:

Handstand Push Ups
Box Jumps (30/24)
So, the WOD begins with a 10 Cal Row, followed by 10 HSPUs, then 10 Box Jumps, then a 9 cal row, 9 HSPUs, 9 Box jumps, …etc.. until you finish the round of 1 Cal Row, 1 HSPU, and 1 Box Jump.
Scaling Options:
HSPUs -> Pike Push Ups
