1/24/2013 – WOD

Strength
12 Min to Establish 1RM Rack Jerk

Conditioning
Thruster 10-8-6-4-2 reps 165/105lb (65-70% of 1RM)
Double Unders 50-40-30-20-10
***At the top of every minute do 4 Pistols
—Rest 5 minutes
5 Min AMRAP on Air Dyne for total miles or calories

WOD Notes: This is a fairly heavy metcon, so if you want to scale the weight and do more reps such as 14-12-10-8-6 that’s ok. The scaling for double unders is 2x singles. Scaling for the pistols are walking lunges. Other ways will be demonstrated during class.

1/23/2013 – WOD

Strength
1) 12 Min to Find 1RM Power Clean
2) 3x Max Effort Strict Weighted/Band Pull-ups

Conditioning
5 Rounds For Time (Each Round is ALL OUT!)
6 Power Cleans 205/135lb (70-75% of 1RM)
12 Chest to Bar Pull-ups
250m Row
—Rest 2 minutes between rounds

WOD Notes: The goal is to touch and go all 6 power cleans, but it isn’t necessary. Choose a band that will get you 12 pull-ups unbroken, but is still a challenge. Since this is an anaerobic threshold/interval WOD, each round must be performed all out, especially the row. If you want to substitute air dyne (.3 mile) each round instead of the row, you may do that.

Bench Press 5×3 (90% of 1RM)

Conditioning
10-20-30 Reps
Burpee/Toe to Bar
KB Swings 88/53lb
720′ Shuttle Run after each Round (12 Laps inside Rage)

WOD Notes: Burpee should be performed under pull-up rig, so that you can jump right into the toe to bar. The shuttle runs will start on the wall where pull-up rig is and go to the opposite side where rowers are. You must touch the walls each lap.

Strength
12 Min To Find 1RM Snatch (can be Squat or Power Snatch)

3 Box Jumps 36/27″

—Rest 5 min

Row 1000m For Time

WOD Notes: This WOD is very technical, so make sure to scale the weights on the lighter side to work on technique. This WOD is designed for you to work on the 2 positions for the snatch, with a slightly elevated heart rate. It is NOT meant to get you out of breath or leave you lying on the floor gasping for air. However, the 1000m row for time should do just that!
