WOD: Tue 07.23.2019 “Panini”

NEWS

Life is NOT about worrying whether or not we PR our workouts. We workout to strengthen our bodies and our minds so we have the ability to enjoy our family, our friends and our lives.
– Pat Sherwood

WOD

3 Deadlifts
2 Front Squats
1 Push Press

“Panini”
AMRAP 10
20 Deadlifts
15 Front Squats
10 Push Press
*at 70% of above complex

WOD Guidance & Goals:
For 10 minutes, coaches will help you build to a heavy complex of 3 deadlifts, 2 front squats and 1 push press. No squat cleaning into your first front squat. Your push press will be the limiting factor. For the metcon, you’ll do the same movements, for more reps, at 70% of your heaviest successful complex. Target 3-4 rounds.

20 Dumbbell Snatch
25′ Overhead Walking Lunge
20 Dumbbell Step Ups (20/24)
25′ Overhead Walking Lunge

Men: 50#

WOD Guidance & Goals:
Choose a weight for the dumbbell you can snatch and overhead lunge unbroken for at least the first round. Move through snatches without pausing and take a brief pause before the overhead lunges and do them unbroken. Lunges can be done with either arm, but we suggest alternating each length. If needed, rest just before before the step ups. For the step ups, alternate legs without putting a hand on your stepping leg. The dumbbell can be held by your side, on your shoulder, in the rack position, etc., but not supported by your leg. Target 15 minutes.
