—then—

2 Rounds

10 Push-ups

10 Ring Rows

MANAGEMENT:

  • Big focus on getting the upper body ready to roll for heavy lifting, this will also help carry over to the Snatch in the WOD

Specific Warm-up

4 Rounds

Round 1: 10 Bench Press @empty barbell or very light weight + 2 Pull-up Negatives

Round 2: 6 Bench Press @45% + 2 Pull-up Negatives

Round 3: 4 Bench Press @55% + 1-2 Strict Pull-ups

Round 4: 2 Bench Press @65% + 1-2 Strict Pull-ups

MANAGEMENT:

  • Recommend doing both movements every 1:30, it will be short rest but will help get the body temp and heart rate elevated to be ready to lift heavy

  • For those advanced Athletes that lift well over their bodyweight you can let them build as they want to get ready for the working sets

Strength

Bench Press: 3x3 @77%, 3x2 @85%

Strict Pull-ups: 6x3

FOCUS:

  • Heavy triples and doubles on Bench Press to prepare for a 1-rep max next week, after that it’s time for The Open

  • Go weighted if you can on Strict Pull-ups

  • Scaling for Pull-ups: the hardest version you can do as mentioned last week, this is a great time for people to try to get their first rep, that is big going into The Open

NO BARBELL/RIG OPTION:

  • Double DB Bench Press 6x5

  • Double KB/DB Bent Over Rows 6x5

  • Reps decreased from last week, increase the weight

OPEN TIME OPTION:

  • 15 minutes

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION:

  • Do both movements every 2:30 for 15 minutes

  • This will allow people to share equipment, one can start on Bench while the other starts on Pull-ups then switch, both people can get both movements done and still have adequate rest within the 2:30 time frame

WOD Prep

3 Rounds

10/7 Calorie Bike

Complex: 2 Snatch Grip Deadlift + 1 Hang Power Snatch

*build to WOD weight

WOD

AMRAP 10

20/14 Calorie Bike

Barbell Complex, 3 reps: 3 Snatch Grip Deadlift + 2 Hang Power Snatch @115/80

SCORE: Rounds + Reps

GOAL: 4-5 Rounds

PACE: Grindin’ All My Life, find a pace to stay consistent, but it will be a steady grind

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • Bike: RPE of 8, hard pace but one that can be consistent

  • Complex: stringing together reps in a complex is basically forcing you to do things unbroken which is good for strength endurance and in preparing for The Open, you must do all 3 Snatch Grip Deadlift and both Hang Power Snatch without putting the bar down, you may drop in between complexes, keep your chest up, flex your butt at the top to make sure glutes are working along with back and hamstrings, after finishing the third rep, lower to the knee, make sure shoulders are over or slightly in front of the barbell to ensure a good hang position, hip pop, pull and punch to the top, stand, repeat for rep 2

  • Scoring: each complex completed is 5 reps, you get credit for whatever you complete when time runs out…so if you get the 3 Deadlift then time is up, you get credit for those 3 reps

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • Complex: 3 Double DB/KB Deadlift + 2 Double DB/KB Hang Power Snatch

EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

  • The Bike calories and the Complex should be around the same time so you could have two people share a Bike and have one start on the Bike and one on the Complex and alternate back and forth

  • Really any other machine would be a good option, tomorrow is machine of your choice for Cardio + Core, Saturday is Row

  • If you would prefer an option to change the workout regardless of equipment/class size, here is a good alternative version of this…Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes (5 rounds): 12/8 Calorie Bike, the rest of the 2 minutes for each round is your time to work to a max weight on the complex…this could also be a advanced or comp version you offer to members

BEGINNER: 15/10 Calorie Bike, 75/55 or No Barbell Option

SCALED: 95/65

Rx+: 135/95

COMP: 155/105
