Lunge weight should be moderately heavy where 10th lunge gets heavy, but you should be able to do all 4 rounds unbroken. Scaling for double unders are 100 singles or 20 double unders each round.

11/4/2013 – WOD

Strength
Back Squat 6×2
—Start @ 80% & work up to 90-95% for at least 2 sets.

Conditioning
5 Rds For Time – “Reverse Rowing Nancy”
15 Overhead Squats 95/65lb
400m Row

Midline
Accumulate 2 Min – L-Sit, Reverse Sorenson Hold (GHD), or Weighted Plank.

WOD Notes: Yes, we have been rowing a lot the past week. The way I see it is that you can never row too much…unless it’s a half marathon like we had to do at the CrossFit Games! Overhead squat weight is light so work on technique (break bar while holding overhead). Rage will most likely be having a clean n jerk clinic Saturday November 16th (more details to follow).

11/1/2013 – WOD

Strength
Front Squat 5×5
—Start @ 70% & build to a heavy 5RM

Conditioning
4x500m Row ALL OUT!
—Rest 3 minutes between each effort

WOD Notes: Make sure that each effort is 100% & try not to hold back and save energy for last round. You should also make-up any assistance/midline work that you missed this week after the WOD. Any remaining time left during class can be used to work on any skills, which I can help with.
