Programming 8/1 - 8/5

Monday
Strength
5 x 5 tempo bench press
- 3 seconds on the way down 1 second pause in the bottom 
shoot for 70% of your 1RM.  avoid building within the sets.  

WOD: 
for time (20 min timecap) 
200 wall balls (20/14#) 
every time you break run 200m 

scale WB so an athlete can complete sets of 20 when they’re fresh.  scale run to a 250m row.  
If you can do more than 35 in a row when fresh, your ball is too light.

1) focus on hitting large sets of wall balls
2) use the run as a rest so you come back in ready to tackle the wall balls


Tuesday
Strength / Skill
12 minutes to build to a heavy complex: 
1 high hang power snatch (above the knee)
1 low hang power snatch (just below the knee)
2 full power snatch

then, 
reduce weight by 10% and complete 
5 power snatch every 90 seconds for 5 rounds

WOD - 12 min amrap
9 box jump overs (24/20")
18 DB snatch (50/35#)
9 pull-ups

Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: during the complex athletes should focus on good technique, including hitting full extension and avoiding the bar swinging away from the body. 

1) keep movements unbroken for as long as possible
2) keep steady transitions

burpee box jumps should be smooth and consistent the entire workout. scale pull-ups so you can complete in no more than 2 sets with a quick rest


Wednesday
WOD - "Row Row Row Your Boat"
on a 40 minute clock row for cals
at the top of every 4 minutes (including zero) complete 1 round of:
10 hang power cleans (95/65#)
10 push jerks (95/65#)
10 burpees over the bar

Coaches Notes
1) Scale appropriately such that they always have at least 1:30 to row every 4 minutes
2) Focus on a good lockout position, with head through arms, while doing jerks, even if it's slightly slower


Thursday
Strength / Skill
7 x 3 front squat 
- 3 second tempo on the way down and 2 second hold in the bottom

WOD - 4 rounds for time (18 min timecap)
400m run
12 toes to bar
12 thrusters (95/65#)

Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: athletes should focus on actively pulling themselves into proper positioning with the tempo and holding an active squat position for the pause. athletes should shoot for 65-70% of their most recent 1RM.

1) avoid using run as a recovery
2) maintain the kipping motion during toes to bar; avoid going to singles or useless swings

toes to bar & thrusters should be scaled so athletes can complete in no more than 2 sets the entire workout. toes to bar scale to other kipping movements, hanging leg or knee raises.
