8 Thrusters (135/95)

6 Rope Climbs

On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9—when an Extortion 17 helicopter was downed in Afghanistan. The workout was specifically designed to remember the fallen heroes of August 6, 2011 and honor their legacy of sacrifice.  The Combat PT Tent will run this WOD in honor of those fallen from 0600-0900.  The WOD is open to everyone.  For more info on the 31 Heroes click here

Scaling Options:

Warmup:

3 Rounds:

6 Box step ups

6 Cobra to downward dog

6 Cobra to hip snap

6 Spider-Man Lunge

2 Seated tuck jumps  – see video below, courtesy of Lifted Fitness

2 Wall Walks

S/S/S:

12 Min to establish Max Height on Seated Box Jump

Video courtesy of OTA. For the seated box jumps, we’re generating force from the seated position as well as making it a reactive movement.  To get high, just like in the video, the second the feet make contact on the ground, you need to explode upwards to hit the landing

WOD:

AMRAP 19:

3 Burpee to Kipping Pull Ups

1 Shuttle Sprint*

9 Handstand Push Ups

*1 shuttle sprint = 5 yards out and back, 10 yards out and back, 15 yards out and back

Video courtesy of Hockey Training Exercise Demonstrations.  Quick demo of the 5-10-15 yd shuttle run.

19 Minutes for an AMRAP is a pretty long stretch.  That said, I would look to find a steady pace throughout so you can keep moving.  If you try to sprint any of this, the chances of you having to take longer breaks between movements grows.  Longer rest = lower score.

Scaling Options:

Burpee to Kipping Pull Up -> Burpee to Jumping Pull up

HSPUs -> pike push-ups off box -> pike push-ups off floor

Cool Down:

Scorpion Pose – 1 Min per side

Thread the Needle pose – 1 Min per side

30 high-jump single unders

10 Squat2Stands

10 Thoracic High Fives

10 PVC OHS

10 Over & Backs

Barbell warmup: With an empty bar and in Snatch grip, perform 5 reps of: RDL, Dip/Shrug, Dip/Shrug/High elbows, High hang muscle snatch, Behind The Neck Push Jerk, Hang Power Snatch, Power Snatch, Ohs, Squat Snatch

S/S/S:

12 Min to establish a heavy 3-rep on Overhead Squat*

*Bar comes off the ground to start

The goal today is getting to a heavy set of 3 on OHS. The kicker is, the bar comes from the ground to start.  So, you can either clean the bar up, pop it over your head to your back, set your grip and push press or push jerk it up to the OHS position and then go.  Or, you can Power Snatch the bar up, set up and knock out three OHS, or perform a Squat Snatch into your first OHS, then knock out 2 more.  Any way you do it, the goal is controlling the bar to the OHS position, and then getting the reps in.

WOD:

WOD:

7 Rounds:

7 Ring Dips

7 Devil’s Press (50/35)

7 Pull Ups

Time Cap – 18 Min

Video courtesy of CrossFit Federal Hill.  Good tips for the Devil’s Press. You’ll need to push your pace in these movements to get under the time cap today.  With the rep ranges per movement being very doable, watch out for the body hitting fatigue around round 4.  That said, have a game plan prior to the start of how you want to do the reps each round.  Best course is unbroken per movement and resting only during transitions.  If you plan on breaking the reps to 4/quick rest/3, per movement, cool, but keep the rest small.

Scaling Options:

Ring Dips -> banded ring dips -> box dips

Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups -> Ring Rows

500m Row

400m Run

– Rest 3:00 between rounds

– Maintain same split across all rounds

Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Some good tips for hitting your row.

Aerobic capacity is our plan today!  Your goal is to try to keep your splits as close to even as possible.  Meaning, if in round one I get through the run and row in, say 5 min, my goal for every subsequent round is to finish between 4:45 and 5:15.  With the built-in rest time, you should be able to give full effort each round

Scaling Options:

Run -> 21/15 Cal Echo Bike

Cool Down:

rest, then hit…

20-sec Ring L-Sit Hold

So, today we look to attack the core, both in the main WOD, and then with a little core finisher afterwards.  With the WOD being an AMRAP, find a pace you can maintain for the whole 15 Min.  In the core finisher, there is no time constraint, but try not to rest too long between movements, Quick demos.  For WOD: (videos courtesy of CrossFit HQ and Train FTW)

For the Core Finisher: (videos courtesy of CrossFit HQ)

%s Based off 19May2022 1RM

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Final time hitting our Clean Complex prior to our Oly 1RM re-test.  %s go up, so make sure you continue to open those hips as violently as possible to get that bar moving, then as fast as you can, throw those elbows in front of the bar to get into the catch.

WOD:

3 Rounds:

80 Double Unders

20 Alt DB Snatches (50/35)

Time Cap – 15 Min

Video courtesy of OPEX Fitness.  Quick demo on the Alternating DB Snatch.

Steady movement is key today.  Unless you are a Double Under master, trying to sprint through 80 reps is likely to result in tripping up on your rope.  Find a steady pace you are able to maintain and then grind through.  On the Alternating DB Snatch, employ a similar strategy.  Trying to do these too fast will wear you out, forcing your body to rest longer than you want.  Steady movement through the reps!

Double Unders -> 160 Single Unders per round

Even: 5 Med ball squats, 4 Med Ball Push Press, 3 Wall Ball Shots

The skill piece today is meant as a movement primer for the upcoming WOD.  On the odd minutes, focus on keeping a flat back in the snatch deadlifts, and then good hip extension in the hang power snatch. Start relatively light, and then finish a little lower than the weight you’ll use in the WOD.  On the even minutes, focus on keeping the torso upright in all movements

WOD:

“KARABEL”

10 Rounds For Time:

3 Power Snatch (135/95)

15 Wall Balls (20/14)

Videos courtesy of Rogue Fitness and CrossFit HQ, respectively.  Quick demos on Power Snatch and Wall Balls.

What’s more fun than two benchmark WODs? Combining them into one WOD!!!  So, today we’ll take “Isabel” (30 Power Snatches) and “Karen“ (150 Wall balls) and break them into 10 rounds.  The goal should be either fast single on the Power Snatches or string them as touch-and-go reps, and go unbroken on the wall balls or try only one break per round of wall balls.  Best to limit the rest only to transitioning from one movement to the next.

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> 115/80 -> 95/65 -> as needed

Med ball weight -> 14/10 -> as needed
