Athlete Notes:
-A repeat of CrossFit Open WOD 14.4 in honor of the 2024 Open that kicks off on Thursday!
-This is a tough workout, so if you need to take the strength a little lighter today, please do so.
-For the Muscle-Ups, you can scale this movement to the most difficult movement that you do have: Band Assisted Muscle-Ups, Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, Kipping Pull-Ups, Band Assisted Kipping Pull-Ups, Jumping Pull-Ups, Elevated Ring Rows, or Ring Rows.
-It is a high volume of Toes To Bar today… do NOT push your limits. If you are even remotely close to ripping, adjust this movement to something that will protect your hands. That could be Hanging Knee Raises, Alternating V-Ups, or Leg Raises.

Tuesday
Skill
Rope Climb

8 min EMOM
If you are proficient at this skill, complete 1-2 Rope Climbs each minute. If you are still learning, use this time to practice.

10 Handstand Push-Ups
15 Box Jump Overs

L3: 315/225lb
L2: 275/185lb (RX)
L1: 225/155lb

Athlete Notes:
-The primary focus for today is to complete this workout under the time cap. To do so you need to be completing a round every 2:30 minutes.
-Keep in mind, the loading of the barbell should be on the moderate to heavy side. Something you can complete the first couple of Deadlifts in one set, but you may break up into two sets for the remaining rounds. However, you should not be completing the lifts in 3 sets or more.
-Aim to complete the Handstand Push-Ups in two sets. If needed, scale the number of reps or adjust the movement to 3 Wall Walks or 15 Seated Press.
-The Box Jump Overs are really where you’ll push the pace to make up any lost time if needed.

-The Bike is where you may lose some time. Focus on keeping a challengingly steady pace that you can maintain throughout the entire 24/18 Calories.
-As a reminder on the DB Snatch, make sure both heads of the dumbbell touch the ground and the non-lifting hand/arm does not come in contact with the body during the rep.

-Ideally you should be able to go unbroken on all movements in each set. Aim to accumulate upwards of 2 to 2.5 rounds each AMRAP.
-Today’s Ring Dips are intended to be Kipping reps. However, if you do not have that skill down, you're able to complete them as strict reps.

Tuesday
Conditioning
Bike Sprints

3 rounds of 1:00 on / 2:00 off
3 rounds of 0:30 on / 1:00 off

10 Burpees

Cash Out: Group Ab Lab

L3: Weighted Strict Pull-Ups
L2: As Written (RX)
L1: Reduced Strict Pull-Up reps or Band Assisted Pull-Ups

Athlete Notes:
-Today’s focus is the volume of Strict Pull-Ups. Rounds of 7 will be tough so scale appropriately to ensure a consistent effort and intensity. (It is better to scale down so you can keep moving throughout the 11 minute duration.)
-Please note, this work was inspired by a CrossFit.com WOD and it was originally written with 1 Legless Rope Climb. If you prefer to do that in place of the Strict Pull-Ups, you are welcome to do so.

Score = Time


Wednesday

L1: 115/75lb

Athlete Notes:
-The goal is to select a challenging weight that you are only able to cycle for 2 to 3 reps maximum.
-Keep in mind, there is a 5 round cap for this workout today so you’ll need to aim for 6 to 8 reps per round.
-On your Double Unders, it is important to select a scaling option or rep number that allows you to complete the movement within 60 seconds. (If you don’t have Double Unders, complete 100 Single Unders, this will take approximately the same amount of time.)

Score = Time (including rest)


Thursday
Strength

Athlete Notes:
-As a reminder, 1 Bear Complex = 1 Power Clean, 1 Front Squat, 1 Push Press, 1 Back Squat, and 1 Push Press.
-This will be a long, grueling workout. The goal is to just keep moving. But if you need a break from the Barbell/Crawl grind, hop on a bike for a bit and then jump back in. You are also welcome to incorporate a 1 minute Bike after each set if you prefer.
-For today, the 50m Bear Crawl will be down and back (1st pillar to 3rd pillar) two times.

Score = Rounds + Reps

Programming 2/12 - 2/16

Monday
Strength
Bent Over Row

Complete 6x6 at a moderate weight. Challenge yourself today by moving through the lift more slowly, rather than adding more weight. Between each set, complete 20 banded shuffles in order to prepare your body for the workout.

L1: 75/55lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today, we have a high-intensity interval workout designed to challenge you both mentally and physically.
-Challenge yourself to complete this workout in about 20 minutes which means each round should be completed in under 60 seconds. Select a weight on the barbell that allows for quick, unbroken sets of 10 reps.
-Additionally, consider scaling the Double Unders for quicker completion. Today's focus is on intensity rather than skill development.

Score = Time

Cash Out: Ab Lab

L3: 70/53lb
L2: 53/35lb (RX)
L1: 35/26lb

Athlete Notes:
-Longer duration workout today. However, we are using a slightly lighter weight on the Russian Kettlebell Swings given the higher volume today. Focus on good form throughout all your reps.
-The Mountain Climbers are on each leg, so a total of 110 reps each round. This is not a difficult movement, but it is exhausting. Aim to break these up into 2 sets.

Score = Slowest Row Time

L1: 115/75lb and 24/20”

Athlete Notes:
-The primary objective today is to complete this workout under the time cap. This will not be easy, considering the volume of reps you have to complete.
-Remember that this is a back end workout where you need to save energy for the Wall Walks. You should be aiming to complete the 10 reps within 2:30 minutes max.
-On the Cleans, find a consistent pace and try to keep moving one rep after the other.

L2: 50/35lb and 20/14lb (RX)
L1: 35/25lb and 14/10lb

Athlete Notes:
-Great interval workout to end your training week.
-The goal is to get a minimum of 90 seconds of time on the Muscle-Ups. If you're great at Muscle-Ups, this is a chance to try and develop some volume under fatigue. If you're working on the skill, where you're at will determine how you scale. You can choose to scale to Band Assisted Muscle-Ups, Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, Kipping Pull-Ups, Band Assisted Pull-Ups, or Jumping Pull-Ups.
-The Run, Wall Balls, and Snatches are simply just the buy-in to the gymnastics work, you should be aiming to work through those at a pace that will allow you to not only have enough time, but also the energy, to accumulate reps.
-Ideally both the Wall Balls & Dumbbell Snatches should be completed in two sets maximum.

-However, the primary objective today is to push your runs. Ideally you should be getting your mile run completed in 8:00 minutes or less, but the time cap will be 10:00 minutes.
-On DT, you should be able to do each individual movement unbroken, so be sure to select a load that will allow for that.

Athlete Notes:
-This workout will challenge your muscular stamina but also your breathing, considering the movement patterns you will be working through.
-Today’s focus is to complete this work under the time cap which comes out to 6:30 minutes per round. But the secondary objective is to complete the Wall Walks in under 2:30 minutes per set.

Athlete Notes:
-In Part A, the goal is to get into the round of 14 or 16 reps. Be mindful of starting out too fast, you want to make sure you can maintain good consistent sets even in the higher double digit numbers. Keep your transitions smooth between movements and really dial in your breathing early to be able to keep moving later on in the 7 minutes. Make sure you select a weight on the Wall Balls you have no doubt on completing each set unbroken.
-In Part B, select loading that allows you to complete your Back Squats sets unbroken. And on the Toes To Bar, each set should be completed in under 2 sets maximum.
-Please note, if you are coming to the “Lift and Sip” event tonight, consider adjusting movements today. For instance, choose a different Strength and consider subbing another movement for the Squats. (“Lift and Sip” will include heavy Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift.)

Athlete Notes:
-The primary objective today is to challenge yourself. That can be with the Barbell loading, the Toes To Bar, or even the Wall Balls. Aim to push yourself out of your comfort zone today.
-The Buy-In should take under 8 minutes, which means you have 30 minutes left to complete the work. You will need to keep each round under 3:45 but just remember you will slow down towards the latter half of the work, so you really want to aim for 2:30-3:00 in the early rounds.

Athlete Notes:
-Class will be split up into multiple groups today so there is enough room for each portion of work.
-On the Death By, start a 1, 2, 3 or 5 and increase each minute. If you fail before the time cap, take one minute off, reduce your reps by 3, and then complete that number of Sprints each minute until time.
-For the WOD today, consider each round a sprint. You’ll want to focus on maintaining high intensity on each interval to accumulate as many Cals as possible. You should aim to complete each round (inclusive of the rest) within 2:15-2:30 max.
-If you struggle to string your Double Unders together, do Single Unders today as the intent is to move very quickly through this work.
-In terms of the Chest To Bar Pull-Up, complete this work in 1-2 sets maximum. If that is not possible, you can scale down to Kipping Pull-Ups or 15 Ring Rows.

Athlete Notes:
-Lower body focus today. The Deadlifts and Lunges should be done at a steady pace, while the Squat Jumps should be completed as quickly as possible.
-The goal is to have at least 30 seconds of rest each round, which should be more that doable, especially in the earlier rounds.

Athlete Notes:
-The goal for today is to have at least 45 seconds for the Burpees.
-The intensity should be high but you also don't want to spend all your energy in the first two rounds.
-A good way to approach this workout is by increasing your intensity through the rounds. Trying to accumulate more reps on each progressive set, really pushing the pace in the last round. This will be a challenge, considering the minute of rest won’t allow for full recovery but that is the focus.
-Select an appropriate weight on the Snatch that allows you to go unbroken for the first few rounds. You also have the option to choose Dumbbell or Barbell Snatch today.
-If you are proficient at 5 HSPUs, challenge yourself by increasing the rep count to 8.
