WOD Notes: This is one of our infamous girl WODS where pace on the rower is very important. The goal is to hit all 50 thrusters & 30 pull-ups unbroken if you are advanced. Novice/intermediate should break the 2 movements up in the least amount of sets possible. I will be performing this WOD down at the Mid Atlantic Regional June 7-9!

Skill
15 Min To Work On GOATS

Conditioning
4 Rounds For Time
10 Tire Flips
20 Toes To Bar
400m Run

WOD Notes: Tire Flips may be performed with a partner, but make sure you use the heavier tire. Scaling for toes to bar are toes through rings or leg raises with a med ball between your legs. You may also reduce number of reps for toes to bar if you are doing them Rx’d, but can’t get 20 within reasonable amount of time.

***CFRage One Year Anniversary Party is May 18th, so keep spreading the word Ragers!

5/8/2013 – WOD

Strength
Deadlift – 2 EMOM for 10 Minutes @ 70-75% of 1RM *Move weight fast off the ground

Conditioning
8-1 Reps of:
Strict Chest To Bar Pull-ups (no kipping)
Power Cleans 205/135lb
—Rest 5 minutes
5 Min on Air Dyne For Max Distance/Calories

WOD Notes: Focus on moving weight quickly off the ground (keep bar close) for the deadlifts, while maintaining good posture throughout the first pull. There is absolutely no kipping today, so choose a band where the 8th rep will get difficult on the first round. Scaling is chin over bar for the pull-ups. Power clean weight is 70-75% of 1RM.

Sit-ups start with hands on the ground and you must touch your heels each rep with your feet flat on the ground. Do not save energy for the sit-ups, finish the row with high intensity!

WOD Notes: This is an anaerobic threshold WOD that’s designed to have a high power output, so make sure not to hold back on any of the rounds & go fast! Bear Complex should be relatively heavy for this WOD, but pick a weight where you can string 4 in a row without dropping the barbell.

5/3/2013 – WOD

Conditioning
10 Power Snatches 155/115lb
1 Rope Climb 20′
8 Power Snatches 155/115lb
1 Rope Climb 20′
6 Power Snatches 155/115lb
1 Rope Climb 20′
4 Power Snatches 155/115lb
1 Rope Climb 20′
2 Power Snatches 155/115lb
1 Rope Climb 20′
*Then immediately following the WOD, you have 15 minutes to find a 2RM Back Squat

WOD Notes: Snatch weight should be 70-75% of your 1RM Power Snatch. Scaling for rope climbs are 5 up/downs or 10 burpees. Your 15 minute clock to find your 2RM Back Squat starts as soon as you finish the WOD, so you may rest as long as you need. You should be able to start at a heavier weight for you first set of back squats and take less sets to establish a 2RM, since you will be nice & warm from the WOD.
