2/14/2013 – WOD

Strength
5×3 Strict Weighted/Banded Pull-ups *Choose weight or band that is very difficult for 3 reps each set
5×2 Power Snatch (work up to a moderately heavy weight, but not maximal) *Reset after each rep

Conditioning
21-15-9 Reps of:
Overhead Squat 135/95lb
Chest To Bar Pull-ups

3 Rounds
7 Power Snatches 135/95lb

WOD Notes: For the strength portion, Alternate between weighted/band pull-ups & power snatches. Rest at least 90 sec between sets. Overhead squat weight should be about 45-50% of your 1RM Overhead Squat. You may do front squats to scale the OHS. Scaling for the chest to bar pull-ups are regular pull-ups. Each WOD is timed separately, so record two times. Scaling for DU = 3x singles

2/13/2013 – WOD

Strength
12 Min to Find 1RM Power Clean

Conditioning
20 Min AMRAP
5 (1 Power Clean 205/135lb, 2 Lateral Burpees over Bar)
10 KB Walking Lunges 70/53lb
15 Toes To Bar

WOD Notes: Power Clean weight should be 70-75% of 1RM. Make sure you setup each power clean properly with good position for the 1st pull off the ground. For the walking lunges, you will hold the KB up at chest level mimicking the front rack position. This WOD will tax the midline and will challenge you metabolically as well.
