WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Coaches will help you break down the power snatch, and you’ll do five sets of 3 single OR touch and go reps, at the same weight.  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 the AMRAP, the hang power snatch and box jump overs build by 1 rep every round. Choose a weight you can cycle for at least five reps. Target the round of 8.

THE WORKOUTS

WOD 1
500/400 Meter Row
15 Burpees to a Plate
20 Box Jump/Step Up

WOD 1 is completed stadium style! What does that mean? Teammate 1 will complete the row, advance to the burpees and then the box jump or step overs. As soon as teammate one advances to the burpees, teammate 2 can start their row. As soon as teammate two moves off the rower, teammate 3 can start their row. Teammates can advance as long as the station in front of them has been cleared. Each athlete will complete the chipper, and your score will be total time. Cap at 10 minutes.

WOD 2
6 Minutes to Establish a
5 Rep Max Power Clean

Teams will have 6 minutes for all three members to establish a heavy five rep max power clean. Clean must be caught above parallel (no squats), and reps must be touch and go (no dropping and resetting.) Teams can only use the plates provided at their station, and weights must be clipped in before starting an attempt. As always, FORM/MECHANICS over adding weight. Score is the sum of the three lifts.

WOD 3a+3b
AMRAP 5
400 Meter Medball Run
Max Wall Balls

YES, there are two scored parts to WOD 3!!

Part A) All teammates will run 400 meters TOGETHER (you cannot leave anyone behind), taking turns running with the 10# medicine ball. If one person wants to carry the medball the entire 400 meters, that’s cool but your time doesn’t count until everyone crosses the finish line.

PART B) Teams will immediately run inside to a designated area to then complete as many wall balls as possible in the remaining time. You must switch teammates every 10 reps, and everyone is going to the orange line.

You’ll record your time for the 400 meter medball run, and total wall balls

Weight: 115/75

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Oh yes, it’s happening, we have an up/down ladder!! The key here is to not go too hot out the gate. Burpee sets should be at a moderate pace, so you can take one deep breath and pick up your front squat bar. The first set of front squats should be unbroken, the other sets you may have to break 6/3 and 6/6 or 6/3/3. Chip away at the chest to bar pull ups, but challenge yourself to do straight sets on at least the set of 6 and maybe even the set of 9. Target 10 minutes.
