2 Rounds

10 Empty Barbell Back Squats

20 Mountain Climbers

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Good full body mobility then getting the legs and core primed for the back squats

Specific Warm-up

3 Rounds

Round 1: 8 Back Squats @40% + 5 Squat Jumps

Round 2: 6 Back Squats @50% + 4 Squat Jumps

Round 3: 4 Back Squats @60% + 3 Squat Jumps

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Recommend doing a warm-up set every 2:00, this will be plenty of time for people to share barbells/racks and change weight

Strength

Back Squat: 6 sets

5,3,1 @65,70,75%

5,3,1 @80,85,90%

FOCUS:

  • We have done 6 reps and above in all previous weeks, this week we will go heavier and lower rep to prepare for the 5-rep max next week

  • The first round of 5,3,1 will be moderate to heavyish and will help prime the legs for the heavy 5,3,1 in the next round

  • Really focus on keeping your chest up, your elbows pointing at the ground behind you, very good depth, controlled on the way down and max effort speed on the way back up with every rep

OPEN TIME OPTION:

  • 15 minutes

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION:

  • Every 2:30 minutes for 15 minutes

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • Single DB Box Step-ups 6x4 (2 each leg)

  • Reps decreased, increase the weight, do a set every 2:30

  • Find a box height that puts your leg at about 90 degrees when your foot is on the box, if needed you can put a bumper plate in front of the box to stand on, this “lowers” the box height.

  • Focus on driving only off of your foot that is on the box, stay tall, do all 6 on one leg then the other

WOD Prep

4 Rounds:

Complex: 3 Power Cleans + 3 Shoulder to Overhead

MANAGEMENT:

  • Build towards WOD weight, recommend doing a set every 1:30

WOD

For Time

30 Power Cleans @135/95

30 Shoulder to Overhead @135/95

SCORE: Time

GOAL: 6:00-8:00

PACE: Push and Pray: send it and see what happens

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • Power Cleans: steady singles is usually the best strategy here, but you can do sets of touch n’ go if that works better for you mentally, 3s/5s/6s would be best if doing that…chest up, hips below shoulders and above knees, keep everything dialed in when doing the touch n’ go, it’s easy to straight leg it and your back will not be your friend 😁

  • Shoulder to Overhead: 3s/5s/6s/10s…find a strategy early that will consistently allow you to string reps together with short rest…push your knees out in the dip, whole foot should be in contact with the floor during the dip, push press or push jerk are the most efficient, make sure the barbell makes contact with your shoulder before dipping for the next rep, taking a slight breathe when the barbell is overhead can help manage your breathing and heart rate

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • 60 Russian KB Swings

  • 60 Single DB Shoulder to Overhead (30 each arm)

BEGINNER: 75/55 or No Barbell Option (lower to 40 reps if very new to training)

SCALED: 115/80

Rx+: 155/105 (only if you can hit the pace goal)

Comp: 185/125 (only if you can hit the pace goal)
