Workout of the Day

A.  Six sets of:

2-Position Snatch

(high hang, then mid-thigh)

Rest 2 minutes between sets.

Use approximately 5% more of your 1-RM than you used last week for the 3-position snatches.

B.  Strict Overhead Press

* Set 1 – 5 reps @ 50%

* Set 2 – 5 reps @ 60%

* Set 3 – 5 reps @ 70%

* Set 4 – 3 reps @ 85-90%

* Set 5 – 3 reps @ 85-90%

* Set 6 – 3 reps @ 85-90%

* Set 7 – 3 reps @ 85-90%

* Set 8 – 10 reps @ 55-65%

Rest 2 minutes between sets.

Choose the same load for all four sets of 3 reps. The load used should be challenging to successfully press for three, but if you have more than one failed rep it is too heavy.

C.  Three sets of:

Ring Dips (with a hold) x 10-15 reps @ 20X2

(externally rotate at the top, thumbs out and hold for 2 seconds)

Rest 30 seconds

Weighted Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups x 8 Reps

(all weighted pull-ups should be strict – a little bit of body english at the top is acceptable)

Rest 30 seconds

D.  For time:

20 Burpees

80 Double-Unders

15 Burpees

60 Double-Unders

10 Burpees

40 Double-Unders

5 Burpees

20 Double-Unders

A) 105, 115, 125, 140, 150(F), 150 (F, then ugly high hang and decent mid-hang)

High hang was the limiter for me today.

C)Dips: 10, 5/2/2/1, 4/2/2/2

D)Skipped double-under/burpee (still can’t do double-unders) and sub in a scaled for time version of ‘Ship’, which was today’s WOD at my gym. 5 rounds for time of:

7 x Squat cleans w/185 lbs.

8 x 36 inch burpee box jumps
