Bar Muscle-Ups x 2-5 reps

If you’re proficient with both, add a deficit. Adjust the reps based on your ability and whether you chose strict or kipping.)
Kettlebell Snatch x 8-10 reps each arm

Workout of the Day

A. Take 15-20 minutes to build to a heavy-ish Snatch

December 18th, 2012


I. Skills Test for Max Reps:

60 seconds of “No-Touch” Deficit Handstand Push-Ups
Rest 30 seconds
60 seconds of Weighted Pull-Ups (24/16 kg kettlebell)
Rest 30 seconds
60 seconds of Double-Unders

Rules and Standards:
* You may break as many times as you would like during the 60 second periods, only the total number of reps completed will be scored.
* The “No Touch” Deficit Handstand Push-Up may be performed on either paralletes (preferred method) or on 6 inches of stacked plates. At the top position the athlete must demonstrate full extension of the elbow and an open shoulder – chin through the biceps. At the bottom position the athlete’s ears must reach or break the horizontal plane of the paralletes or plates. The athlete’s head may not touch or rest on any surface.
* Weighted pull-ups should be performed with a 24/16 kg kettlebell suspended from a dipping belt. If you do not have a dipping belt, you may hold a dumbbell between your feet or legs. Weighted vests are not approved for this test.
* Double-unders may be performed with the rope spinning either forward or backward (I never would have thought to say that before April 2011).
* These skills will be worth 25 points each for a total of 75 points.

II. Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:
500 meter row
10 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24”/20”)
20 Toes-to-Bar
30 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75 lbs)

Complete for time:
500 meter row
10 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24”/20”)
20 Toes-to-Bar
30 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75 lbs)
40 Kettlebell Swings (24/16 kg)
50 Double Unders

Rules and Standards:

* Athletes may face any direction they would like for the burpee box jump-overs. All that is required is that you hit your chest to the deck on one side of the box, then get both feet over the top of the box to the other side. You may clear the box in one leap, or you may land on the box and jump off – either is fine.
* Toes to bar should be performed as required in competition – heels behind hands at the bottom, toes physically contact the bar at the top.
* Shoulder to overhead should be performed as required in competition. Athletes may use any method of their choosing, but at the top the barbell must be overhead directly over the athletes’ heels with fully extended knees, hips and elbows.
* At the top position of the kettlebell swing the athlete must show an open shoulder overhead with the handle of the kettlebell directly over the hips and ankles.
* 75 points are available for each portion of this event.

Workout of the Day

A.  Five sets of:
Muscle Snatch x 1 rep
Rest as needed

B.  Take 15-20 minutes to build to a heavy Snatch
(let feel dictate, “heavy” doesn't need to mean “1-RM” – just build to a weight that feels like the outer limit of what you are capable of performing with good mechanics)

C.  Three sets of:
Snatch Pulls x 3 reps @ 100% of 1-RM Snatch
Rest 2-3 minutes 

D.  For time:
50 Kettlebell Swings (24/16 kg)
25 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
40 Kettlebell Swings
20 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
30 Kettlebell Swings
15 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups


A. 105, 115, 135, 135, 135
B. 165
C. 185x3x3
D. 11:58

Zero motivation today.  I had to force myself to work.  I was hoping to kill the snatch, but I was not feeling it today (I got 175 Saturday).  I did get the first 50 reps unbroken on the kettle bell snatches, small victory over my normal weeniness there.  Chest to bars were tough!
