Athlete Notes:
-It’s a long one to open up the week! With the exception of the Kettlebell Swings, this work should take about 45 seconds each minute. Make sure you push hard as there is a minute of built in rest at the end of each round.
-As a reminder, one round of DT consists of 12 Deadlifts, 9 Hang Power Cleans, and 6 Push Jerks.
-Also, the magic number is 10.

Tuesday
Skill
Handstand Push-Ups

Option 1: 8 minutes of max reps, but you must complete your reps in sets of 3 or 4
Option 2: Use this time to practice

WOD – 5 rounds, 20 min
3 minute to complete:
300/250m Row
20 Push-Ups
Max Alternating Pistols in remaining time

1:00 min rest between rounds

L3: 25 Push-Ups
L2: As Written (RX)
L1: Scaled Push-Ups

Athlete Notes:
-The goal is to have about 45 seconds of time for Pistol Squats. The pistol is a very challenging movement for many so scaling options include: Supported Pistol Squat (plate under heel, holding onto ring, or plate counterbalance), Box or Band Assisted Pistol Squat, or Darringer Squat.
-The Push-Ups should take about 60 seconds and be completed in 3-4 sets maximum. If you need to scale today, consider adjusting the volume slightly (reduce by 5 reps) or maintain the 20 reps but switch to Knee Push-Ups, Box Push-Ups, Band-Assisted Push-Ups, or Backpack Push-Ups. The intent is to keep the volume high as practice for Murph.

10 Dual Dumbbell Reverse Suitcase Lunges
20 Air Squats

L3: 50/35lb

Athlete Notes:
-For those that are not familiar, a Devil’s Press is a functional compound movement, combining a burpee with dumbbell snatches for a full-body exercise.
-Today we are focusing on the Reverse Lunge in order to hone in on the hamstrings and glutes.
-While this is a for time workout, do not comprise quality over quantity. Keep your form and standards strong.
-Again, lots of Murph prep going on here with the Pull-Ups and Air Squats today. :)

Athlete Notes:
-This is intended to be a sprint chipper workout. The goal is to get as far through as you can before you reach the time cap. Completing the workout will be challenging considering the volume of reps.
-Don’t shy away from the Run today. You will have to take breaks during the Toes To Bar and Cleans so use the Run to make up some of this time.
-Keep in mind, the Step-Ups might feel extra spicy today after the Bulgarian Split Squat work.

30 Overhead Squats
60 Abmat Sit-Ups

L3: 75/55lb
L2: 65/45lb (RX)
L1: 45/35lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today we have a classic CrossFit couplet with one of the our more technical movements in high-volume. The primary objective is to complete it under the time cap. To do so, you need to average 5 minutes per round. With this in mind, the Overhead Squat load should be one you can cycle for large sets, ideally 10-15 reps at a time so adjust the load accordingly today. (If Overhead Squats are not your jam, feel free to sub in Front Squats instead.)
-The Sit-Ups will be a limiter as they will make the Overhead Squats more difficult so be sure to have a plan on how to break those reps up as needed.

keep moving.
-If you are struggling to complete the reps/calories within the 2:00 minutes, decrease slightly so you have
~30 seconds of rest.

Athlete Notes:
-This chipper format today resembles the Zachary Tellier Hero WOD but the movements are different. The volume is high with 315 reps and 2000 meters. The key to this workout is a steady pace and efficient transitions.
-The Chest To Bar Pull-Ups should be completed in 1-2 reps maximum so scale as needed to make this happen.
-Should you want to scale the American Kettlebell Swing to a Russian Kettlebell Swing, just make sure you increase your Kettlebell weight.

Athlete Notes:
-The primary objective today is to complete each round in under 4:00 minutes so you are getting roughly 1:00 minute of rest.
-Make sure you're moving with intensity at each movement.
-On the Cleans, select a load that is moderate to heavy (~70%-72% of your 1RM) but one you know you can move for relatively quick single reps. If you select a weight that is too heavy, it doesn’t allow you to keep moving.

-On the Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, make sure you can complete each round within two sets maximum. The reps must be kipping today, no butterfly. If you need to scale to achieve this, consider reducing the volume of adjusting to regular Kipping Pull-Ups, Band-Assisted Pull-Ups, or Ring Rows.

-The primary objective for this workout today is to complete it under the time cap. This will be an average of 4:30 minutes a round which is very achievable.
-This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with both the loading of the Snatch and also your Handstand Push-Up scaling. Ideally you should be aiming to select a load that will be tough, but you can maintain consistent single reps on. (Reminder, if you’re dropping today, please grab pads.)
-For The Handstand Push-Ups, look to select a scaling option that will allow you to complete the 14 reps within no more than 3 sets maximum.
-The Box Jumps are where you can make up time, so don't settle on a slow pace here, aim to have some intensity here.
