For Time 500m Row 25 Front Squats 155/105 7 Muscle Ups Notes: Bench Press: Next week is a testing week, get in a heavy 5 with a nice little touch at the chest each time, keep it honest, that way you have a solid number to base off for next week. I'd say your single for next week you can shoot for 110-115% of your 5rm. The Workout: We are not capping this, but we want you to scale accordingly so that you finish in 10 minutes or under. Keep the row as set, but adjust the front squat to something that you may just have to break into two sets. If you are breaking the squats into sets of 5 or less, you have the wrong weight. Front Squats are pulled from the ground. Muscle Ups: Scaling for Muscle Ups goes as followed - (7) Muscle Ups --> ( 14) Chest to bar pull ups --> (21) Regular Pull Ups --> (21) Ring Rows[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 1.19.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 1.19.16 A. 2 Rounds :60 Seconds Pillar Hold Alternating Hand Reach :15 Seconds Rest :30 Single Leg Glute Bridge Right :30 Single Leg Glute Bridge Left :15 Rest B. 12 Minutes to find Hang Power Snatch 1rm C. 4 Rounds 2 Hang Power Snatch – 70-80% of today's 1 RM 10 Balls Slams – 40 lbs 1 Rope Climb – 15 feet 2 Hang Power Snatch –70-80% of today's 1 RM 10 Balls Slams – 40 lbs 1 Rope Climb – 15 feet Rest 2 minutes between rounds (Yes, that is not an error, each 1 round consists of two cycles) Notes: Hang Power Snatch Single: Leave a little in the tank on your Hang power snatch unless you look fuckin' beautiful and you are on a roll, then kill it, but PLEASE make intelligent jumps. This could also be referred to as a technical 1rm - If my coaches see any technical issues with your 1rm that would constitute a no rep, you are to fall back to the weight you had done prior as your 1rm. It's nothing personal when they do it...its just that my coaches prefer you do things the right way, and not add weight just to get the number on the board. Since this is a technical max for most of you, and to get the right stimulus for a novice, percentages aren't always the best tool to use, we have a range out there of 70-80% of the days max.

Notes: Gymnastics Work Notes: We are doing gymnastics work, again, I know not everyone cares for it - but it's good for you as an athlete and just moving around functionally. Read this quick article, breaking muscle does a pretty good job of speaking to its importance. But you can't ignore the importance of developing proprioception along with "strength, control, coordination, spatial awareness, movement quality, sequencing, and mobility". Everything can be broken back into intelligent progressions - don't get fixed on moving too fast during the handstand holds and walking. Handstand Push Up Progression: Notice the position during Carl Paoli's progression here? look familiar? If you'd ever like a long explanation about why we do them the way we do, you can ask me and I'll tell you. If you can give me a good reason why sacrificing a position that lends to the longevity and further transferability to a movement to achieve a higher number on the board makes sense, I'm all ears. Conditioning mixed with some stretching work. Don't be afraid to go hard during those conditioning stints, get after it.

THROWBACK! CrossFit Open Wod 11.3 Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 5 minutes of: Squat clean 165/110 Jerk 165/110 Notes: Overhead Squats: RACKS SHOULD BE USED FOR THE OVERHEAD SQUATS - How should you work up? based off of technical ability, if you know a prior number, start heavy and stay heavy, if you have no clue - build from the bottom up and find something that is challenging but technically sound. For the wod... Description Squat clean and Jerk In this movement, the barbell goes from ground to overhead with the athlete passing through a full squat position while the barbell is racked on the shoulders. This can be a full-squat-clean-thruster, a power-clean-front-squat-split-jerk, or anything in between as long as the three key positions are reached. The barbell begins on the ground. Touch and go is permitted. No bouncing. The athlete must pass through a full squat with hips below knees. The barbell must come to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the heels. One round includes a squat clean and a jerk. You must complete the squat clean before moving on to the jerk and you must complete the jerk before moving on to the next squat clean. If you miss a jerk you may power clean the bar to set up your jerk attempt.
