Conditioning

Midline
10 sets: Plank 30 sec on / 30 sec off (80/45#)

WOD Notes: TD = 8-13 minutes. WB weight is the normal “heavy” ball (men & women = 10ft RX). DL weight = 55% of 1RM. You should be able to do majority of reps touch n go or you can do quick singles.

12 Days of Christmas Challenge – Day 2

12/14/2015 – WOD

Strength
Back Squat – 5×5 @ 82.5% (week 2)
—Go a little heavier than last week

Conditioning
For Time
40 Burpees
15 Power Snatches 155/105#
Row 1600m
15 Power Snatches 155/105#
40 Burpees

WOD Notes: TD = 15-22 minutes. PS weight = 65-70% of 1RM PS. I would recommend doing majority of the reps singles on the snatches, instead of linking them. Remember that the plates touching the ground MUST weigh more than the barbell, so when in doubt use a 15# bar.
