Today is all about some lifting!  After finishing up the Clean Deadlifts, we’ll move into a focus on Push Press.  Big thing to make sure you do is actively pull yourself into the dip, don’t just drop.  This will allow you to load up the hips and use the core-to-extremity method to move as much weight as possible.

Third go at our Clean Complex for this cycle.  %s go up a and reps go up a bit, so like last time keep the core engaged and really push that ground away from you!

WOD:

14 Min AMRAP:

60 Double Unders

20 Am. KB Swings (55/35)

10 Front Squats (135/95)

Video courtesy of NC Fit.

Biggest advice I can give (outside of pace yourself) is shake out the legs going from move to move.  The hamstrings and glutes get very fired up in dubs, and you could feel them getting pretty tight if you just pick up that KB right after.  Same with going from KB Swings to Front Squats.  Last thing you want in the middle of a WOD is the hammies cramping up on you.

Scaling Options:

Dubs -> 30 Dubs -> 15 Dubs -> 120 Single Unders

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (ELITE: 70/55)

Today’s WOD is athlete’s choice as far as how to get through all the reps.  You could treat this one like a chipper, and finish all the reps of one movement before moving on to the next one.  Or, you could break it into sets (Ex: 5 Rounds of 15 Toe2Bar, 12 Hand-release Push Ups, 9 Pull Ups, 6 Handstand Push Ups, and 3 Rope Climbs).  Whatever helps you get through this as efficiently as possible. Things to watch for: shoulder and core fatigue.  Make sure your game-plan takes those into account so you don’t hit a failure point.

Scaling Options:

Hand-rel. Push Ups -> Push-ups off Bench or box

Toe2Bar -> Kipping Knee Raise -> Strict Knee Raise -> Laying Toe2Rig -> V-Ups -> Alt V-Ups
