Snatch skills

“Snake Bite”
Big Lap
21-15-9
Power snatch 95/65
Toes to bar

Remaining time to work up to heavy single squat snatch preferred, Power snatch for newer folks

This is short and sweet. It should be a sprint. Set a weight you can do round 1 in 2 sets and round 2 unbroken. You have the rest of class to hit a snatch PR. Go get it!

Tuesday October 15


Back squat wave
5-3-1 70-75-80
5-3-1 77-82-87

“Gun Show”
8 min AMRAP
1,2,3,4… DB hang squat cleans 50/35
2,4,6,8… Pushups

Even though its the open, squat wods like this will keep us strong. Pace the wod! 8 min is a long time for these movements. Slow and steady will get you a solid score.

10-15 L sit on rings

8/6 Strict Pullups
10 Burpees
25″ Double Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunge (50’s/35’s)

The goal for today is endurance. Your score is your number of carlories. Scale the reps of the movements so you can finish in under 2:30. Don’t start off too fast on the row/bike. Try and be consistent across the whole 24 min.

Thursday October 17

6 DB strict Press
40 DU
rest 3 min
5 min AMRAP
4 Power clean and Jerks 185/125
4 DB strict Press
50 DU

Strict pressing is hard. Its even harder when your tired. Use a weight on the DB that you can do 3 sets in a row. Keep the weight the same throughout the WOD. This WOD is all about technique. Think about being efficient from the get go.

Friday October 18

20 KBS 70/53
4 Bar Muscle ups

You know they’re coming! The only way to get them is to keep working on them. There are 2 ways to do this wod. If you are good at bar muscle ups, I want you to run so hard you can’t do them. Thats how you get better. If not, hit the runs at 80% and break up the Mu early.

“Steady as she goes”
16 min AMRAP
200m run
12 Push Jerk 115/75

“Jumping Bean”
12 min AMRAP
30 DU
20 DB step ups 50/35
30 DU
20 KBS

There can never be enough single leg. These will be in the open. More importantly, they correct imbalances and are easier on the back.

Thursday October 10

3sets

20 V-ups

banded inchworm

20 sec bar hang

“Echo”
5 min AMRAP
15 bar facing burpees
21 Power cleans
27 Cal row/bike
3 min rest
set 1 135/95
set 2 115/75
set 3 95/65

Instead of the weight going up, today it goes down. This means we want you to pick the pace up each round. I want you to pick weights you can get at least 7 in a row on round 1. The goal should be to get to the rower/bike as quickly as you can. This is great open prep.

Friday October 11

3x
20 sec L hang
Max set of pushups should get 20/10+
Rest 2 min

“Lightning Bolt”
3rds
400m run
6/6 DB hang clean and Jerk 50/35
12Vups

Today is mean to develop upper body and core strength, and be a little easier on the back and legs. L anything is hard. It will make your core stronger and when that gets better so does everything else. I want at least 15 pushups/round. Attack the runs. The reps are low enough that you should not have to put the dumbbell down. 

Saturday October 12

Open WOD 20.1

Sign ups for heats will be up on Friday

WODS 9/30/19 -10/4/19

“Bartender”
AMRAP 10:
12 Deadlifts 115/75
9 Overhead Squats 115/75
6 Hang Power Snatches 115/75

The beginning piece will get your movement dialed in. You may go as heavy as perfect movement will allow. I want you to aim for 5 rds on the wod. Scale the weight so you can get close to that.

Tuesday 1 October

Pineapple Express

at 0:00
50/35 cal assault bike/Row
50 Strict HSPU, scale seated DB press
15:00-
3rds
500m Row/.6 bike
21 Burpees over rower or laterally over bar

Today or focus is on building upper body strength/endurance. We’ll spend time opening up the T’spine, dialing in the position and then its go time. You should hit the first row or bike really hard. you’ll have plenty of rest for the HSPU. Wod 2 is a low skill high effort wod. This one that you need to send it!

Wednesday 2 October

Back squats 3×10 65-70%

4rds
75 DU
10/10DB 1 OH,1 FR lunges 2×50/35
12 TTB

The back squat % are merely a suggestion. I want 10 in a row, every time. No fails. Today is about getting the legs ready for high reps that you’ll see in the open. Scale the lunges to a weight you can get then all in a row. This reads 10/10 (so 10 with the L arm OH, R FR, then 10 with the hands the other way).

Thursday 3 October

2 Power cleans EMOTMx9 min 60%+

20 power cleans 135/95

10 power cleans 185/125
30 abmat situps

The EMOTM is meant to warm you up. Most you will do quick singles on todays cleans outside of maybe round 1. Thats what we want. A consistent grind. Get ready to feel those abs!

Friday 4 October

C2B skills

“Workaholic”

3 Rounds:
30/20 Calorie Row/bike
15 Chest to Bar Pull-ups
Directly Into…
3 Rounds:
20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches (50/35)
15 Thrusters (95/65)

We row and bike a ton because they are 100% safe, and really, really effective. Don’t be afraid to break up the C2B from the get go. Better to break it up early than have long rests later. I want you to use a weight on the thrusters that you can send it with. It should be light and fast. You’ll already be tired.

 

Wods 9/23/19-9/27/19

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Monday

3x
8 strict pullups
8/8 Bulgarian split squats

“”Master Splinter””
3 Rounds:
400 Meter Run
12 Burpee Box jump overs (24/20)
15 DB Thrusters 50/35  
We will do our heavier lifting towards the beginning of the week to allow recovery for the open workouts.  The bulgarian split squats will strengthen the glutes but are easy on the low back.  Strict pullups will help a ton with all of the gymnastics moves.  I want the wod to be done in the 12-16 min range.  That means you cant put the DB down on the first round.  Maybe 1 break on the next 2 rounds.

Tuesday

DU skills!
“Full Circle”
75/50 Calorie Assault Bike
125 Double Unders
50m heavy Dball or sandbag carry
20 Sandbag/Dball over shoulder
125 Double Unders
50m Heavy Dball or sandbag carry
75/50 Calorie Row
This is our longer endurance piece of the week.  If you struggle with DU’s, this is the day to be here.  We are gonna devote some time to helping people improve them.  You pick the weight on the ball.  You should be able to make it the whole 50m without stopping.

Wednesday

Bar Crawl
Teams of 3 1 works at a time
AMRAP 7:
Bench Press
50 Bench Press (135/95)
50 Bench Press (155/105)

Rest 3 Minutes
AMRAP 7:
50 Deadlifts (185/135)
50 Deadlifts (225/155)
AMRAP Deadlifts (275/185)
This is a fun way to hit movements in a different format.  I want you to be able to get 10 in a row on round 1 of each movement, 7 on round 2, and then 3ish on the final weight of each movement.

Thursday

Ring MU skills
7 min AMRAPx2
3 Ring MU
12 DB step ups 1×50/35
12 Ball slams 40/30
12 Box jump overs 24/20
rest 3 min
This should be fast on all the movements except the MU.  I want you back on the rings as many times as possible. 

Friday

C2B skills

“Home run Derby”
24-18-12
Calorie row/Bike
Front rack lunges 135/95
Chest to bar pullups
C2B pullups are a game changer.  We will spend time working on them today in class.  This wod is supposed to be medium weight, high power.  Get out of your comfort zone on the row or lunges.  1 break at most on the 1st set of lunges.  No breaks on the set of 12 lunges.

Wods 9/16/19-9/20/19

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Reminder, Wednesday 6pm no oly class.  I will be teaching a wine and mobility course. Come on in and get your overhead squat position dialed in!

Monday

3x
5 Front squats 70-75%
8/8 BSS
“1-2 Punch”
10 min AMRAP
25 WB 20/14
40 DU
Today is the start of our winter cycle.  The first part is meant to address the posterior chain.  These are a lot harder after squatting.  I’d rather you really push it on the BSS and stay lighter on the FS if you must.  Scale the wod so you can move for 10 min.  This is really good prep for the open as well as some great endurance work.

Tuesday

3x
10 seated DB Press
20 Vups

“Pythons”
4rds
400m run
6/6 KB clean and Jerk 53/35
12/8 Strict pullups
Yesterday was all about lower body, today is arms!  We want the KB CJ unbroken every round!  Consistent pace on the run, may 2 breaks on the pullups.

Wednesday

20 min AMRAP
“IHOP”
3 Power cleans start at 60%
15/12 Cal bike Row
Add every 5-10lbs/rd
Its not enough to be strong.  We need to be strong when tired.  A lot of you will find that you lift better under these circumstances.  If you get too heavy, simply stay the same or drop down. for the remainder of the wod.

Thursday

Bar Mu skills
“Cold Feet”
Big lap buy in
4rds
4 Bar MU
8/8 DB snatch 50/35
16 Box Jump overs 24/20
50m Dball/sandbag carry
This is an opportunity to get better at higher skill movements.  I’d rather you scale reps on the bar muscle ups rather than skip them all together.  If you need to break this wod, it should only be the bar mu.  The other stuff should be consistent.

Friday

Rope climb skills
“Rope a Dope”
3rds
1 min max reps
KBS 70/53
Goblet lunges
Abmat situps
Push Press 115/75
Rope climbs
Rest 1 min

Today is a great day to work on rope climbs.  Scale the weights so you can get 12+ in a row on the first round.  We want you moving fast as long as possible.

Tuesday

“””Championship Helen””
5rds
400m run
21 AKBS 53/35
12 Pullups
This is the exact opposite of yesterday.  We need to have strength and endurance.  This is my favorite benchmark for CrossFit endurance as it forces you to pace your self.  5rds is a different ball game as opposed to 3.
Wednesday
“Teams of 2
2k Row Buy in
“”Coe””
10rds(1 person must do a full round before switching)
10 Thrusters 95/65

30 DU
8 Step Ups 24/20 50/35 DB
30 DU
Use the EMOTM to dial in your movement.  If you’re beat up from this week, go lighter today and focus on moving well.  This is a great workout to use to improve your technique on snatch and double unders.  You improve your skills when you slow down!
Friday
“”Dirty Dozen””
15 min AMRAP
12 Box Jump overs
12 DB front squats 50/35
12 Ball slams 40/30
12 DB snatch 50/35

25 abmat situps
10 Box Jump overs 24/20
10/10 DB snatch
Dball/Sandbag carry 50m
Bench press trains the horizontal plane which tends to get left out in CrossFit.  The wod will help address imbalances.  Scale it so you can move the whole time.
Tuesday
Back squat 3-2-1, 3-2-1 1st 3 at 75%-80-85, 80-85-90
“Thigh Gap”
40-30-20-10 Cal row
10-20-30-40 Front rack DB lunges 2×50/35
Build to a heavy, but not maximal single today.  Leave some in the tank for next week.  Attack the row on today’s wod.  Keep the weight on the lunges light enough to where you are doing the last round in no more than 2 sets.
Wednesday
“Hang power snatch+OHS+hang squat snatch E90 secx8
“Sucker Punch”
12 min AMRAP
10 hang power snatch 95/65
30 Dbl unders
10TTB
30 Dbl unders
The beginning piece is there to really dial in movement for the snatch.  If you’re confident with snatching, y0u can get heavy, but not maximal.  Scale the weight on this wod so you can get 10 in a row for atleast 2 rds.  We want to see 12 min of movement.
Thursday
3×5/5 windmills
Bar MU skills
“Bar Star”
4rds
25 Wallballs 20/14
7 Bar muscle ups
20 KBS 70/53
15 Burpees
A lot of yall are real close on bar muscle ups.  Expect them to keep showing up as the open will be here Oct 10.  The key to gymnastics skills is practice.   For those of you on the fence, don’t be afraid to sacrifice some intensity in todays wod so that you can refine your skill of bar Mu.  Sometimes, you need to slow down to get better.
Friday
Rope climb skills
C&J Cycling skills
CrossFit Linchpin Test 12
400m run
15 Clean & Jerks 135/95
3 Rope Climbs, 15 ft
400m run
12 Clean & Jerks
2 Rope Climbs
400m run
9 Clean & Jerks
1 Rope Climb
This is a great all around test of work capacity.  The weight should be medium for this type of wod.  You shouldn’t be dropping it every rep!  That will be too slow.  Adjust so you can do 5 in a row for round 1.  Of the 3 movements, focus on the one you need the most help with and attack it!

Wod 8/25/19-8/29/19

Saturday will soon be upon us!  Hopefully you’ve strategized with your teams and are ready to go.  I know I am:)  Friday is more bodyweight and aerobic in nature  to allow you all to recover for Sat.  Don’t forget potluck afterwards at 12.

20 KB DL 70/53
40 DU
30 KBS
40 DU

Today’s chipper is meant to be a little bit of everything.  We don’t hit anyone movement that hard other than DU.  Having to transition back and forth to DU will lead to greater gains in coordination.  Most of the time with DU, its not fitness, it simply practice.

Wednesday

Back squat 6-4-3-2 75%-90%

3rds
400m run
14 Front rack lunges 115/75
2 Rope climbs

The % are a guideline.  We want you to make every set.  The 2 should be hard, but not a grind.  Scale the lunges so you can go unbroken.  Muscle imbalances are best fixed in single legs with moderate loads that allow for increased time under tension.

Thursday
