Not For time Notes: Math this out before hand! Most people will be limited by their Shoulder to Overhead, so you may want to base this workout off of that. -YOU CANNOT PERFORM THE HANG POWER CLEAN DIRECTLY INTO THE FULL FRONT SQUAT - Just thought I would note that because I know some of you will ask if you can perform a hang clean instead - the answer is nope, Hang Power Clean, Recover, Front Squat, Then Overhead. Now stay with me For example you use 225lbs for the complex that equals 675lbs (3x 225lbs) 10,000lbs/675lbs = 14.8 or round up to 15. This means you would do 15 Rounds. You will be partnered up with someone to (1) give you a little rest so we can keep the weight high (2) to be economical with the bars.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 12.22.15" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 12.22.15 A. 1.

CrossFit Open Prep Class and Programming

[vc_row padding_top="0px" padding_bottom="0px"][vc_column fade_animation_offset="45px" width="1/2"][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title="PURPOSE" tab_id="1450372380799-721d2c17-20ea"][text_output] The purpose of this class will be to better prepare you for the open. What about muscle ups, pull ups, hand stand push ups, wall balls, etc.? How do you get better at them by working smart? Many of you want to do “extra” things to help, but you aren’t always sure what to do. We’re offering some help with a new program designed by Caitlin. Here’s what it’ll consist of: -1 class per week meeting on Sunday at 2pm -Weekly “homework” that will be given out on Sunday’s. You’ll do the homework on your own during the week. Sunday classes will cover extra skill work with some additional volume on high skill movements that you don’t get in regular classes very often. The first part of the class will be focused on skills and scalable drills. The second part will be more like a workout, but nothing geared towards driving you into the ground on a Sunday. It’ll be fun, efficient, and transferable to your crossfit classes. Each week you’ll get homework to do on your own. It will include three days that are meant to be done on different days (not all at once). The class will also be utilized as a time when the homework will be demoed and explained. The purpose of the homework will be to give you extra skill work that you wouldn’t otherwise get. It will have direction and follow a linear progression. Importantly, it will be scalable for anyone looking to get better at the movements that will predictably show up in the open.
