10 Strict Pull-ups
10 Shoulder Press 115/75lb
10 Overhead Walking Lunges 115/75lb

WOD Notes: Weight used for the Overhead should be about 55-60% of your 1RM Shoulder Press. The same weight must be used for the overhead movements & Lunges. You may use a plate to scale the overhead lunges, since that will be the most challenging.

***I will not be there to run the classes tomorrow, since I decided to compete in the “Rally In The Valley” (last minute decision). The 9am class will do the WOD open gym style & Jeff will run the 10am class. Sorry for the late notice!

10/18/2013 – WOD

Strength
Snatch Complex – 7x (1 Squat Snatch + 1 Hang (below knee) + 1 High Hang)
—Start @ 60% & work up to a moderately heavy complex.

Conditioning
6 Rounds
3 Heavy Unbroken Snatches
6 Lap Shuttle Run Sprint (60 yards)
—Rest 2 minutes between sets

WOD Notes: Each round must be 100% all out! Times should be under 1 minute each round. Shuttle run starts under pull-up rig, which you will run to the end of the mats right before rowers & touch your hand on the ground (1 lap). You will run 6 laps each round. Snatches should be touch n go, which they should be challenging, but not too heavy. You may choose between squat or power snatch.

Reminder: This weekend Oct 19th & 20th is the “Rally in the Valley” at SMCF! Ragers that are competing are: E. Hill, Dan, Jenny K, Mary, & Rachel on Saturday. Kurt, Candy, Chris are on Sunday. Show your support by cheering them on if you don’t have any plans. Let me know if you need directions.

Shoulder Press 6×2
—Start at 75% & work up to a heavy 2RM

WOD Notes: For the strength portion, you may work up to a heavy hang power clean instead of doing shoulder presses if shoulders are sore from yesterday. Hang Power Clean weight should be about 75% of 1RM in the WOD. Scaling for Double Unders are 12 Double Unders or 60 Singles. Scaling for HSPU are Push Presses @ 60% of 1RM, or elevated HSPU with foot on a box. Only one partner may work at a time for the 3 miles on the AD. I would suggest doing an interval style 30 sec on / 30 sec off & focus on sprinting each effort!
