WOD Notes: TD = 17-23 min. Approach this WOD as “active recovery”, since I want everyone to be prepared/rested for 17.5. It’s ok to push hard a little towards the end of the WOD, but make sure to hold back a bit.

Reminder: Open WOD 17.5 gets announced tonight at 8pm! Stop by Rage for the live announcement! Also, I want to see Rage blow up this Saturday with spectators, so make sure to invite family & friends!!


3/22/2017 – WOD

Strength
1 Clean (full) + 1 Hang Sq Clean + 1 Front Squat – 5 sets
—Start @ 80% of clean & work up to a heavy complex. Should be around 90% by the end.

Conditioning
6 Rounds (interval style)
6 DB Clean n Jerk 70/45# DB (each arm)
12 T2B
15 Burpees
—Rest 1 minute between rounds

WOD Notes: TD = 1:15-1:45/round. Beginners should go lighter on the DB to make sure form is proficient/safe. DB Clean n Jerk should be touch n go (tap one head of DB on ground) for all 6 reps. You don’t have to squat them either. No dropping from OH! T2B should be unbroken as well, so scale the reps if 12 will take too long. Burpees should be all out!! Larger classes will stagger 1 minute behind. Record total time minus 5 minutes.
