Programming 1/8 - 1/12

Monday
Strength
Back Rack Reverse Lunge

Complete 5 rounds of the following:
10 Alternating Barbell Back Rack Reverse Lunges
10 Blank Bar Good Mornings

Athlete Notes:
-Start the Lunge at 70% of your 1-rep max Power Clean, increasing in load as desired.
-The 10 Lunges are both legs combined, so you will complete 5 reps on each leg, not 10 reps on each. This should allow you to go a little heavier.

WOD – 4 rounds for time, 18 min cap
4 Man Makers
12 Chest To Bar Pull-Ups
1000m C2 Bike

L3: 70/50lb
L2: 50/35lb (RX)
L1: 35/25lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today is great upper body pump session that we want to see you complete under the time cap. To do so, you need to complete a round every 4:30 minutes.
-Challenge yourself with the loading of the Dumbbells as there are only 4 reps per round.
-On the Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, scale up to 6 Muscle-Ups or scale down to Regular Pull-Ups or Band Assisted Pull-Ups, as needed. You should aim to complete the 12 reps within 2-3 sets maximum.
-As a reminder, a Man Maker = Push-Up + Dumbbell Row Right + Push-Up + Dumbbell Row Left + Burpee + Squat Clean Thruster.

Score = Time

Athlete Notes:
-The focus today is moving with speed though these movements and maintaining efficient transitions.
-Don’t go out of the gate too hard with the Buy-In Run but really try to push yourself on the Cash Out Run.
-You should go a little heavier on the Kettlebell Swings given they are Russian and not American. Also, try to challenge yourself to complete all movements unbroken.

Overhead Squats
Toes To Bar

L3: 95/65lb
L2: 75/55lb (RX)
L1: 65/45lb

Athlete Notes:
-Great classic CrossFit Couplet today.
-The primary objective today is to complete this workout under the time cap.
-It’s a total of 102 reps of each movement, which is significant volume, especially considering the combination. With that in mind, make sure you scale appropriately.
-The Overhead Squat should be a light weight where you can do big sets.
-On the Toes To Bar, break them up early from the start to ensure you can hold decent sets during the final rounds of 15, 12, and 9. If you need to scale, first start with volume (e.g. 18-15-12-9-6-3). If you need to scale further, you can keep the original rep count and adjust to Straight Legged Raises or Hanging Knee Raises.

Score = Time

Athlete Notes:
-Completing the Calories on the Echo Bike will be challenging today. However, the following 3 movements should provide some rest time, ensuring you can catch your breath before you have to head back to the Bike.
-On the Shoulder To Overhead, pick a challenging load as you have 2 full minutes to complete the work.
-On the Plank and Wall Sits, it is accumulated time. If you need to break, just pick back up when ready until you’ve accumulated 1 minute of the static hold.
