Press

Deadlift

Back Squat

For all the lifters out there, this is your day. Remember to evenly split remaining time after w/u for the three lifts. Let folks know they have “x” amount of time to get 3 attempts in. Weight-wise, first attempt should be something in the 85-90-95% range of their 1RM (something you KNOW you can hit), second attempt right at or just slightly above their current 1RM (Something your SHOULD be able to get), and last attempt should be what they hope will be their new 1RM (Something you HOPE to get)

Cool Down:

If it hurts, roll it out.

4 Ring Muscle Ups

12 Cals Ski Erg

If there are more athletes than ski ergs, stagger heats. Reason for the cal difference in the assault bike and air dyne is the tension each gives differs.

Scaling:

MUs -> Burpee 2 C2B pull up ->Burpee 2 chin above Pull up -> Burpee to jumping pull up

 

Pistols -> banded*

For the banded pistol, set at hip height so when you sit back, you’re sitting in the band to assist on the pistol. If that is too easy, set band further down until it becomes challenging

S/S/S:

10 Min to Find Max Height in Box Jump

 

 

Rest 5 Min before starting WOD

Video Courtesy of:cfskvideo

Who doesn’t love going for max height on the box jump?! BE safe. Take moderate jumps in height. And here’s something to think of. Going for max height box jump and doing a squat clean employ similar moves. You go from a very powerful hip extension to a very fast drop to the bottom of a squat (with the jump, the quicker you bring your feet up AFTER full extension, the quicker you can land on the box)

WOD:

16 Min AMRAP:

15 Kettlebell Swing (70/53)

10 HSPU

5 Chest2Bar Pull ups

 

As with other AMRAPS, the key is to keep yourself moving. Don’t come out of the gate too quick or you’ll be sucking wind early.

Scaling:

KB – As needed

 

HSPU –> 4 Wall Walks per set -> HS to slow negative (do 5 reps per set)

 

C2B –> Chin Above -> Jumping Pull Up

Cool Down:

Handstand Walk – 5 attempts @ max distance (if you can’t HS Walk, go for Max time unbroken in HS Hold)

 

10 min mobility work on Neck/T-spine

 

For those still new at HS walk, here is a good progression to try…

S/S/S:

Snatch w/2 sec pause at bottom of knee

2×70%, 2×75%, 1X80%

 

Based of 1RM from 6Apr

So, with the paused Snatches, pull off the ground as normal, but pause right at the bottom of the knee.  Hold for a two-count, then finish the snatch (full squat).  The reason for the pauses are to add time under tension.  This will make it so you maintain proper body position with heavier weights

5X5

 

Increase weight ea set

 

This cycle, we will do 2-sec pause at the bottom of the knee on the deadlift. Demo’d here:

Video courtesy of Testosterone Nation

The reason for the pauses are to add time under tension. This will make it so you maintain proper body position with heavier weights. We’ll see this on our DLs, Snatches, Cleans, and Back Squats this cycle. So, with the DLs, pull off the ground and to the bottom of your knee, hold there for a 2-count (one-one thousand, two-one thousand), then finish the lift. I would not do these as touch and go reps in the set. Rather, reset at the bottom of each rep.
