Power Clean – shoot for 75% of 1RM
Double Unders – 2:1 Single Unders
Channeling the power of the hip can be tricky when it comes to the muscle-up.
“I think that most people understand you’ve got to have a good amount of pulling strength, full range, and a deep dip with a great amount of dipping strength. I think getting the hip involved to learn the kipping muscle-up is a little bit more complicated,” says gymnast and CrossFit Santa Cruz coach Laurie Galassi.
To help athletes understand how to get the hips involved, she has them lie on their backs, pull their knees into their chests and then explosively open their hips with their butts as high as possible.
“Imagine if you could freeze your hip at the height it’s at right now and sit yourself up over your hip—kind of like a reverse Slinky going up the stairs,” Galassi explains.
The next drill has a couple of prerequisite skills: an ability to hold yourself at the bottom of a ring dip and to stabilize yourself at the top.
“We’re going to take the explosive hip opening and put it on the rings,” Galassi says. “The goal is to activate that hip and get a boost out of it.”

So, as you can see on the map, we have a mile and a half path for you. We’ll start outside of the Warrior PT tent, go right, turn left at the stop sign, take a left after the DV quarters, turn right onto Bong, go down until you hit Marauder, then turn around and come back.
Video courtesy of Gymnastics WOD. This video came out back in 2012 for the CrossFit Open 12.1 WOD. Watch the first 8 minutes to get some good prep points for being as efficient as possible for the burpees. Face it, you’ll be coming into the burpees a bit tired, so let technique trump trying to go super fast.
If you missed Mon – Wed, make up the S/S/S potion. Otherwise…
Video courtesy of the CrossFit Journal. Kettlebell guru Jeff Martone outlines the three steps of the movement.
First there’s sitting up, then the transition to the knee and, finally, standing up.
While lying on the floor, your chest must be open. Then, ensure your knuckles remain in the same spot in space. Next, press, drive off the heel and keep coming up to a sitting position. This position, Martone cautions, does not involve merely rolling over or sitting straight up like a regular sit-up
“As you get stronger, you’re always shifting your weight to your forearm,” he explains. “But you gotta minimize weight to it and really work your core pretty hard.”
When it’s time to transition to the knee, push down the shoulder on the opposite side of the weight, push off with the heel and bring the leg through. Then, stand up while keeping the kettlebell in the same overhead position.
After the 30 second sprints, rest the remainder of the time. On the TGU minutes, after performing one per side, rest the remainder of the minute

For grip, the hands should brush the sides of your chest at the bottom of the motion. Make sure your elbows do not flare out.

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. The 3-position snatch is simply 3 snatches performed from 3 different starting positions consecutively. Most commonly, the three positions are from the floor followed by two different hang heights, such as below the knee and above the knee. So, today you will do your first rep from the ground, then, without dropping the bar, go to right below the knee, and do the second rep. Finally, without letting go of the bar, complete the last rep from the hang position.
Don’t forget, this Saturday CrossFit Forbidden is hosting Event 1 of the Desert Warrior Competition Series, “The Saharan Open”, in Scottsdale. The event starts at 0900. At least one of our athletes will be competing. Come out and cheer folks on, or register and compete yourself! Click on the above pic to go to the registration page.
