-If you are looking for a guide, aim for 500m-750m on the Row, anywhere between 40-60 reps for Wall Balls, and about 25-30 on the Swings.

-On your Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, make sure you scale them in a way that you are able to complete the desired reps within 3-4 sets maximum on each number. If you are scaling to Ring Rows, should you do 1.5x the reps (27-18-12-9).

Athlete Notes:
-A classic CrossFit benchmark WOD today, “Fight Gone Bad”.
-The work is meant to be light and fast at high intensity. The goal is to keep moving while not hitting a wall of muscular fatigue.
-Your score is total reps accumulated (each calorie on the Row is a point). And if you’re trying to gauge yourself, we typically see 150-250 reps as beginner, 250-350 reps as intermediate, and 350-450 reps as advanced and 450+ as elite.

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

Athlete Notes:
-The goal is to have intensity each round, so if you know that these reps/loads are too challenging for you, reduce them down to be able to move with speed.
-Be mindful of your ability on both Chest To Bar Pull-Ups & Thrusters as they will really be the most taxing of all the movements.
-Rest will be minimal through this, you are aiming for 30-60 seconds of rest each round. This won't be much, so make sure you're working at an effort you know you can sustain for all 5 rounds to have some consistency in your times.
-If you don’t have Double Unders, scale to 50 Single Unders. And if you don’t have Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, scale to Kipping Pull-Ups or Ring Rows.

Athlete Notes:
-Fun chipper workout today.
-While the time cap is 22 minutes, try to push yourself and see if you can complete this in 18-20 minutes.
-Keep in mind, the Box Step-Overs will be quite challenging given the volume make sure you pick a weight on those that will allow for you to do upwards of 10 reps each set.
-On your Power Cleans, choose a moderate weight that you can cycle for quick short reps. You should not be resting 10 seconds between each rep, if this is happening, you have gone too heavy.

-Look to complete really solid Power Cleans, this will set you up for success to complete the Thruster.
-During the Thruster, try to focus on a controlled descent into the Squat and driving out as hard as possible. Be patient coming out of the bottom position. Wait until you reach full extension before you begin to press with your arms as you want to use as much of your legs as possible.

-Keep in mind this is meant to be a steady state workout from the start with the intensity increasing in the back end.
-When looking at your weight selection, pick a weight that allows you to complete both the Deadlifts and Dumbbell Bench Press unbroken, this is the challenge set for this workout.
-On the Squat Cleans however, make sure you select a load you know you can maintain small sets with the potential to do touch and go reps on the smaller number rounds.

-The main point in this workout is the Toes To Bar and the Bar Facing Burpees. Find a pace from the start that allows you to move from movement to movement consistently for the entire duration.

Deadlift

Complete 4 sets of the following @80% of your 1RM
2.2.2 reps (with a 7-10 second rest between each cluster)

Athlete Notes:
-Today we are doing some Cluster style training. A cluster set is a weight training technique that involves breaking up a set into smaller subsets, with short rest periods between each subset.
-With today’s work, each set will consist of 6 reps. However, it is broken up into 3 sets of 2 reps with a 7-10 second rest between each set of 2 reps.
-Cluster sets are often used as a way to increase training volume while still using heavy weights. By breaking up the set into smaller subsets with short rest periods, you can maintain a high level of intensity throughout the set, allowing you to perform more repetitions with a heavy weight than you might be able to do in a straight set. Cluster sets can be effective for building strength, hypertrophy (muscle growth), and power.

WOD – 12 min

Part A: 5 minute AMRAP

L3: 115/75lb
L2: 95/65lb (RX)
L1: 75/55lb

Athlete Notes:
-The challenge with this workout today is the intensity factor.
-For Part A, the goal is to complete 5-6 rounds total. Make sure to select a weight on the barbell that allows you to cycle the 5 reps of Power Snatches unbroken each round. Use the Box Jump Overs as your "rest" to lower the heart rate and let your grip recover, so you can get straight back to work on the barbell.
-For Part B, you will need to pace the Snatches slightly differently. Consider doing quick short reps to keep the barbell moving. On the Box Jump Overs, this is the last movement of the workout, so try and go for broke to finish under the 12 minute cap.

-The primary objective today are the bodyweight movements. Push yourself to accumulate as much volume as possible at each movement.
-With regards to the run, approach this slightly faster than how you would run your first mile in Murph. Ideally each 400m interval should be completed under 2:10 seconds at the most. This is to ensure some volume accumulation on the bodyweight movements. If you need to shorten the run slightly to meet this time, please do so.
