Our squat version for this cycle will be the High Bar Back Squat. This version translates best to improving our Olympic lifts as we focuse on keeping the torso as upright as possible. Bar placement is slightly different. See here for the difference in position between high bar and low bar(video courtesy of Barbell Shrugged)
| Every time you come back to the Power Cleans, the goal is to increase weight. Therefore, choose your jumps wisely. |
Scaling Options:
N/A
Scaling Options:
DUs-> 2X SUs
Run -> 250, 500, 740, 1000, 1250M row
| Key to this one is to keep moving the whole time! Find a pace that will allow this to happen. |

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Some good words of wisdom from Coach B. One of the biggest benfits of Behind The Neck Split Jerk is the translation of bar position to our regular split jerk. When you land a jerk, the bar should be right over the shoulders and hips. Going from BTN allows our body to get comfortable with that position as it starts in that spot right away. Just stand all the way up between reps and do not drop the bar too quickly on the shoulders. Also, as the bar makes contact with the shoulders, bend the knees to absorb the shock. Be careful to not land the bar on the neck.
No pause between sections. Once you finish the first 4 rounder, go right into the 3-rounder, then right into the 2 rounder
