S/S/S:

Floor Press

 

5X3

 

Increase weight each set

This time around, the reps drop to 3 per set, so aim for a higher weight than the 5X5 and 3X5 weeks. Try not letting your head rise during the lift as well.  In this position, lifting the head puts undue stress on the neck and will keep you from fully retracting the shoulder blades.

WOD:

Partner WOD

15min AMRAP:

4 Tire Flip Jump Thru

6 Burpee Tire Jumps

10 Hand Release Push Ups

 

Break up reps as needed

Bring the tire in from outside.  No need to freeze during this one.  For the jump thru portion, you can step in and out if need be.  For the burpee tire jump, face the tire, do a burpee, come up and jump on top of the tire, fully extending the hips.  Step or jump back down.

Video courtesy of the CrossFit Games.  Spicy flashback to the 2012 and 2013 Open.  Find a constant pace for your wall balls, try not to let the WB stay on the ground (rest with it against your chest, leaning into the wall).  Once you get through those, just go all out on the DUs to get to the muscle ups.

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight

Bench press: body weight

Clean: 3/4 body weight

 

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Games legend Chris Spealler knocking out “Linda”.  The dreaded “The Bars of Death”.  Highly suggest doing this with a partner to have someone to spot you on bench.  If you can, have partner 1 complete the WOD prior to partner 2 going.  Remember, you need three separate bars for this WOD.

DL – Bodyweight or less if need be

BP – ¾ bodyweight

Clean ½ bodyweight

2 Minutes max reps per station

 

3 Rounds:

Box Jumps 24/20

Push Press 75/55

Kettlebell Swing 53/35

 

There is no break between the rounds, so goal is constant movement for 18 minutes.  That said, pace accordingly.  Don’t try to knock out 100 reps in the first round and then lay on the ground in round two.  For Push Press, pick bar up off the ground for the first rep.  No racking of the barbell.
