MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Getting the barbells out here will make the transition faster to the Specific Warm-up

Specific Warm-up

Round 1: 3 Hang Power Cleans + 3 Squat Cleans @40% of Power Clean

Round 2: 2 Hang Power Cleans + 2 Squat Cleans @50% of Power Clean

Round 3: 1 Hang Power Clean + 1 Squat Clean @60% of Power Clean

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Recommend doing a round every 2:00

  • Good time to help them dial in their technique

Strength

Hang Power Cleans 3x3 (connected) @60-65% of Power Clean Max

Squat Cleans 3x3 (as singles) @70% of Squat Clean Max

Build to Heavy Complex: Hang Power Clean + Squat Clean

FOCUS:

  • Around 60-65% is a good starting weight to begin building from

  • Hang Power Clean: if you can bring it from the front rack and bounce off your upper thigh right into the net rep that would be ideal, but if you need to bring it down to your thighs and regroup before going then do that…these are connected

  • Squat Clean: chest up, good hip pop and drop, stand to full hip extension…these are singles

OPEN TIME OPTION:

  • 20 minutes

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION:

  • Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes for each of the Hang Power Cleans and Squat Cleans (12 minutes total), this leaves 8 minutes to build to a heavy complex

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • Alt. EMOM 20: M1: 8 Double DB Rows, M2: 8 Double DB Squats

WOD Prep

10 Squats @95/65

8 Squats @ 115/80

6 Squats @135/95

MANAGEMENT/FOCUS:

  • Recommend doing a round every 2 minutes

  • Great time to help them get their minds right

WOD

“Bring Sally Up” (SONG WITH TIMER)

Back Squats @135/95

SCORE: Completion

GOAL: Survive

PACE: Mindset…shutting off your mind and just doing what the song says

FOCUS/STRATEGY:

  • If you have not done this, here is how it goes…every time it says bring sally up you stand up, every time it says bring sally down you go down to full depth…there are some parts where it pauses while you are down…if you are not familiar then listen to the song before

  • It’s all about how you present this…this is a great workout for mental toughness and shared suffering, buy into it, have some fun…this is one that I will always remember, little bit of what CrossFit is all about

  • The first time I did this 15 years ago, we had a group of about 20 in a circle all with barbells on our backs and just suffered together, some finished every rep, some didn’t, but we all did it together

  • Gym owner in me, says be mindful of someone dropping a barbell about behind them and who could be behind them…or have those less experienced take it out of rack so they can put it back on the rack if needed

  • This should be very tough and awesome at the same time

NO BARBELL OPTION:

  • Goblet Squats or Air Squats depending on your level

BEGINNER: No Barbell Option

SCALED: 95/65

*if you are leveling up, you better be able to do every single rep…every single one 😁

Rx+: 155/105

Comp: 185/125
