WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Heavy Day! Coaches will help you work up to a 6.5/10 effort for the first working set of strict press. You’ll then ideally build every set, and the last two sets the reps decrease, hooray! Remember to keep your legs locked and no arching backward. Take at least two minutes between sets so your arms are completely recovered!

For metabolic conditioning, run the 400 meters as fast as possible (2:00 or less.) Then do as many sit ups as possible in the remaining time. Do not hold back on the run or the sit ups, as there is a rest at the end of every 3 minute period. Target 20-40 sit ups per round.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Using two dumbbells (stepping forward or backwards) complete 15 lunges per leg without having to place the dumbbells down. You may have to break the pull ups into 2 sets (10/5, 8/4, 5/4, etc.,) and as you get into single digits try to do them unbroken. The push jerks will likely Ibe your limiting factor, so break them into thirds until the round of 9 where you can do two sets. The double unders take under :60, scale the reps to meet the time domain, or the movement. Target 15 minutes.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
HEAVY DAY! Coaches will help you build to a 6.5/10 effort for the first set of 10 reps. Take at least a 2:00 break before the next set of 10, and ideally increase the weight to a 7/10 effort. Take another 2:00 break before completing the last set of 10 reps at a 7.5/10 effort. Form always trumps weight, so if your back moves out of a neutral position for any of the reps, reduce the weight on your bar to optimize your mechanics. Record your weight.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
You read that right 32 minutes!! Don’t worry there’s a rest built into every minute. Or maybe worry since a rest usually means you can GO FASTER! Either way, have a target number of reps for every movement. For the bike target 6-10 cals, the kb swings 10-15 reps, the rower 8-12 cals, and the wall balls 10-15 reps. Record total reps for each exercise.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Your mission for today’s workout is to move quickly! Choose a weight for the cleans that you can do for 3 reps unbroken, every round. As soon as you drop the bar, hit the floor for 6 push ups, and pop into the bottom of your squat (like a burpee) to begin the first rep of the 9 squats. The faster the transitions the more time you’ll have for full rounds. Yes, only FULL ROUNDS count today. Target 3+ rounds per AMRAP 3.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Technique Time! Coaches will help you break down the hang power snatch and power snatch. You’ll then spend 15 minutes building to a heavy weight complex. When it comes to technical lifts, mechanics/form ALWAYS trump adding more weight to your bar. Take the time to dial in your form rather than going heavier!

Then for conditioning, complete 24 dubs in :30 or less and 12 hang power snatch (unbroken for at least the first two rounds.) The hang power snatch should feel LIGHT, and easy to lockout in one quick turnover and punch. Each round will take :60-:75. Target 5-7 minutes.

Then for conditioning, completing a down-ladder of kipping pull ups and db russian twists with a 20 meter (in 10 meter increments) farmer’s carry between movements. Keep all movements unbroken for as long as possible. If you need to break, try to break at just over the halfway mark. Target 10-12 minutes.

THE WORKOUTS

WOD 1
200 Meter Run
30-20-10
Shoulder to Overhead (75/55)
Front Squat (75/55)

Weight: 75/55

Every round starts with partner 1 running 200 meters, followed by partner two. BOTH athletes must complete the 200 meters before starting the first round of shoulder to overhead. A press, push press or push jerk are all acceptable movements. The barbell must start on your shoulders, and finish with the bar over the middle of your body, and your elbows, hips and knees extended. Divide the 30 reps equally (15 reps each) between you and your partner. You do not have to do all 15 reps in a row. Once all 30 shoulder to overhead (stoh) are complete, you can move to the front squats and divide them equally. Once the front squats are complete, it’s back to the RUN then the round of 20 reps. The last round will start with a run, and end with 10 front squats. Your score will be your total time. Cap is 12 minutes.

WOD 2
EMOM 10
1 – Burpee Box Get Overs, 24”
2 – Calorie Row

What’s a burpee get over? Facing your box, do a burpee (chest to the floor) but instead of jumping and clapping you’ll get up and over your box (jump up and over, or climb/step up and over.) You must touch the top of the box with both feet, no clearing the box. At the call of “Go,” partner one starts on the burpee get overs, and partner two starts on the row. Both will accumulate as many reps/cals as they possibly within the minute, and then switch exercises at the next minute. You’ll have five opportunities on each exercise to accumulate reps. The rower will keep your calorie count, you and your partner are responsible for keeping the burpee get over count. You will have TWO scores to record, total cals AND total get overs.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
This workout should be called “Steady Freddy” since that’s the pace you’re going to hold for 15 minutes. Each box jump takes 2-3 seconds, so plan on spending :60-:90 on 30 reps, and same for the dumbbell snatches. For the row, try to hold at least 1000 cal/hour to complete 15 cals in :60 or less. Take no more than :75 for the calorie row. Then MAINTAIN the same pace throughout the 15 minutes. Target 3-4 rounds.
