Bit of a grinder today, with quite a few reps on 5 movements. If possible, try to go unbroken each time you start a movement (if you need to break them up, take no more than one pause each set), and use your transition time between movements for your recovery.
3-Position Clean (Floor, Below the Knee, above the knee)
4@65%
3@70%
3@75%
Sets start every 3 min
%s Based off 14 Mar 1RM
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Our third time hitting the clean complex in this cycle. Weight stays same as last time but reps go up. With the increase in reps, we will increase the length of each round to 3 minutes to allow proper recovery. Focus FAST hip extension, and then getting those elbows in front of the bar as quick as possible.
WOD:
AMRAP 15:
200M Run
50 Double Unders
15/10 Cal Row
Aim for a pace that lets you move through the entire 15 minutes pretty much non-stop.
With “Murph” right around the corner, what better time to start getting your bodyweight movements dialed in? The box jump overs and burpee box jumps that sandwich this WOD are just a nice little extra spice!
3-Postion Snatch (Floor, Below the Knee, above the knee)
3@65%
3@70%
2@75%
Sets start every 2 min
%s Based off 14 Mar 1RM
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Second time hitting our Snatch Complex this cycle. The % go up, so work to maintain that hook grip and get those hips to violently open once that bar goes past the mid-thigh!

Shooter’s Choice today to work on a bench mark for Strength, Gymnastics, and Conditioning. You will have 15 minutes per station. That means in the strength section, get some warm up sets in (helps if you partner up with someone) before you start going heavy. With a 15-minute cap, you also can’t wait around all day to move heavier weights, so be smart with your jumps and rest between sets. Again, having a partner works as you’ll have a spotter and built in rest time while they are lifting. There is no break between 15 min sections, so once you finish with strength, go right into the gymnastics piece. With the 15 minutes, you have that amount of time to get attempts in of max unbroken reps of your movement. I would suggest taking no more than 3 or 4 attempts at a move, so that will give you time to practice/warm up for the movement and then enough time to rest between attempts. For the Conditioning, since the work time is small, you could take some rest right off the bat when you finish the gymnastics piece. Just make sure you get your conditioning benchmark done before the end of that third 15 minutes.
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Second time hitting Split Jerk this cycle. With lower sets, look to go heavier per set this time around.
WOD:
3 Rounds:
AMRAP 4: Row for Calories
On the 0:00 – 15 Abmat Sit-Ups
On Minute 1 – 12 Abmat Sit-Ups
On Minute 2 – 9 AbMat Sit-Ups
On Minute 3 – 6 Abmat Sit-ups
Rest 2:00 between Rounds
So, your goal per round is max cals on the row, but at the 0:00, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 marks, you have ab mat sit ups to do before jumping back on the rower. With the 2-minute rest between rounds, look to push for a sprint each round!
Start @ 60% of Clean 1RM and Increase weight ea round
Each 3 Min Round will consist of 1 Power Clean, then 3 Front Squats, unbroken, meaning, if you put the bar down anytime before you finish the 3 Front Squats, you start back over at the Power Clean. The goal here is to start light (looking to start at 60% of you Clean 1RM if you have one) and then making jumps every round. Wit the rounds being three minutes a piece, you will have plenty of recovery time, so make these heavy!
Scaling Options:
If unable to Front Squat, hold in Power Clean Catch position for 30 seconds per round (go off clock, not counting in your head)
Two-fer Thursday!!! Make sure you use the rest between to get your heart rate back down before the next WOD. The clock will be continually running, so note what time is on the clock when you finish WOD one, do the quick math to figure out when you start back up. Note your time when you finish WOD 2 also. Take that number, and subtract 5 minutes. That will be your score today.
