40 HSPU Cash Out

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Quick demo on the KB Snatch.  This WOD begins and ends with 40 HSPUs, but save some energy in your arms at the beginning for the OH walking lunge work ahead of you. I would suggest to start with your KB 30’ from your box, do the  KB Snatches, begin your L-arm OH KB lunge toward the box, once you get to the box (30’ away), put down the KB, do your burpee box jump overs, once done with those, pick up the KB, do the 30’ R-arm OH KB Lunge away from the box, once you get to 30’, put KB down, shake out arms and do the next set.

S/S/S:

2-Sec Pause Back Squat

5X5

Increase weight ea set

Video and purpose description courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Our Squat variation this cycle will be 2-sec pause back squat.  Set up like a normal back squat, as you descend, as soon as the crease of the hip goes below the knee, completely stop and hold that position for a 2-count (one-one thousand, two-one thousand).  Then, stand back up.  The goal is to hold core stability during the pause, and not bouncing out of the bottom.  The pause back squat can serve a few purposes. First, it helps train rate of force development in the squat by eliminating the stretch-shortening reflex that normally occurs and helps the muscles generate more force and momentum to recover through the sticking point of the squat. It will also improve trunk strength and postural strength, improve flexibility and comfort in the bottom of the squat, and help correct improper movement in the squat such as leading with the hips.

WOD:

For Time:

6 Rope Climbs

15 Pistols (per leg)

10 Power Snatch (115/80)

As stated, this is an AMRAP, but the weight does climb three times on the Power Snatches.  Once you finish the set of 10 PS at 115/80, do the 20 lateral burpees over bar, and the 200M run, you go back to the 30 Power Snatches, but you go back down to your starting weight. For the Lateral Burpee over bar, you do not have to stand all the way up before going over the bar.

I start back at 5:13, and go until 5:28.  I am now done with my minute of planking).

%s Based off 25Oct 1RM

Video and description courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  New cycle!  For the Snatch variation this cycle, we will do the High Hang Snatch (or dip snatch).  To execute:

Begin standing in the tall position—standing fully erect with the bar held at arms’ length. Bend smoothly at the knees only as you would for a jerk, then quickly and aggressively transition in the bottom of the dip and extend the hips and knees together to finish the pull of the snatch, completing the rest of the lift as you would for any snatch. Be sure your feet remain flat as you dip and drive hard through the floor with your legs. This lift is meant to be done with an elastic dip and drive—there should be no pause in the bottom of the dip. Make sure to keep the bar against your body throughout the lift—don’t let it be pushed away at any point.
