5 Bench Handstand Push Ups
10 Back Squats
Weight: 95/65

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
For the power clean ladder, choose a weight that is CHALLENGING to hold onto for 10 reps. For sets 1-5, take quick breaks (:03-:05), and for sets 6-10 take longer breaks (:10-:15). Time your breaks so you’re not getting to the bar too quickly, and also so you’re not waiting around too long. Use the HOOK GRIP! It’ll save your grip strength, allow you to use more weight, and hold onto the bar longer. See our Chalk Talk guidance HERE. Target 6 minutes.

For the second workout, do the handstand push ups in a row or 3/2. For the back squats, choose a weight you can get overhead and onto your back from the floor and then do 10 consecutive reps. Move quickly and target 10 minutes.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
YES, Single Unders!! Do the single unders in big sets, and the kettlebell swings in two sets to save your grip. The first set try to get more than half of the reps before resting. The medball sit ups will be done OVER the medball. You’ll lie down with your back ON the medball and then sit up. This movement mimics a GHD sit up which is a greater range of motion and very potent! The calorie bike will be anywhere between :30-:75. Target 20 minutes.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Every set of knees to elbow, do just over half the reps before breaking, take a :10 break, then finish your reps. The kettlebell swings are HEAVY today, but only to eye height. Challenge yourself by using a heavier bell, even if that means having to break the sets in half. The run/row is the “rest” and should at a moderate pace. Target 15 minutes.

WOD: Mon 12.21.2020 “Like an Animal”

NEWS

I want to thank the Daybreak Crossfit Community for the incredible outpouring of generosity to the Maynard Food Pantry! Because of both locations, 55 wonderful dinner baskets were put together for local families who are currently struggling financially.  For many families, this is the first time they have needed our help.  The demand has definitely doubled but the ongoing generosity has surpassed the need.

We’ll provide close to 100 dinner baskets on Monday (we even have some extras for people who didn’t have an opportunity to sign up).  Please know that the families are all very appreciative of your generosity!

A very special thanks to Mel who organized the three “Lift up Our Local Community” events!

I’m so proud to be part of the Daybreak Crossfit Community

Thanks again!
Mary Brannelly
