Beginners - simply add weight if your coach tells you to!

C2. weighted lumbar extensions x 10 reps with 30 sec hold on last rep x 3 sets

Intermediate: 3 cleans plus 2 jerks - 89%, 92%, 92%, 92%, 92%

Advanced: Grease the groove today. Accumulate 7 kipping muscle ups as quickly as possible.

OHS x 25 65/95 lbs Go for speed and snatch into your first rep. Make sure you stand up after each rep

Run or Row 400 meters
25 air squats
15 OHS
Run or Row 400 meters


Monday, September 29 2014

A. For Time:
30 strict pull ups or chin ups AFAP
30 chest to bar kipping pull ups AFAP

Note: You should have 1 total time for Part A. Be strategic with this one and be honest. Your chest or neck must TOUCH the bar.  Don't cheat.

To do part A prescribed, you need at least 3 strict and strong pull ups or chin ups. Otherwise, choose from the following:
You have 1, maybe 2 pull ups or chin ups, but that second one is a struggle? Do 20 strict feet elevated ring rows or ground rows (Don't Cheat)!!!!
30 kipping chin ups or pull ups

You have kipping chin ups/pull ups but no strict ones? Do:
20 ground rows
30 kipping chin ups/pull ups (may use a band if you have a 30 sec eccentric)

You have neither kipping nor strict chin ups/pull ups? Do:
either elevated or hinge rows x 30 reps

Treat Part A as a game.  You need to be strategic. Expect to take at least 10 minutes to complete.
