    Strength

    1RM Thruster

    Last chance for an October PR! Work from the floor to determine your 1RM thruster.  You can squat clean the bar or power clean it and move into the thruster from there. 

    If thrusters are a new movement for you make sure that you are moving under control during the front squat with your elbows up and your knees tracking over your feet.   Use this time to get familiar with the movement and work up to a moderately heavy weight.

    Strength

    Deadlift 3×5 ~ 75% 

    Work up to around 75% of your 1RM and perform 3 sets of 5 reps at that weight. New lifters should work up in sets of 5 as well.  Work up to a moderately heavy weight using small increments.

    Swings can be scaled by weight and swinging the bell to eye level instead of fully overhead. If you are able to perform box jumps do them and choose an appropriate height.

    1 Jerk ~ 80% of your 1RM

    Working from the floor, perform 6 rounds of 1 Jerk every 2 minutes.  Choose a weight that is heavy enough to challenge you but one that you can hit solidly with no misses.  If you are brand new to the olympic lifts work a light weight and perform 2-3 reps every round.

    Skill

    Use 10 minutes to attempt a PR at a Handstand Walk Ladder

    Move 2 steps, then 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on. Each step of the ladder must be unbroken. If you fail a round start back over at 2 steps.  

    First comes the handstand! If you are new to standing upside down on your hands, spend your time working freestanding handstands or handstands against the wall.

    If you are new to CrossFit scale this one by cutting down the size of the sets and the total volume. This stuff gets harder when the set size increases and the volume goes up! Make sure the rep scheme you go with challenges you but stays reasonable.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY COACH DREW!!!!!!!!! Make sure to wish Coach Drew a Happy Birthday today if you see him! Thank you for being the early bird that you are Drew! We know no one else could fill those shoes at 5 am! Since he already has a Rogue hatchet, we figured the next best things are Burpees and Snatches!

    Drew Shempp - Rogue Hatchet

    Strength

    1RM Snatch

    New lifters should start with a Hang Power Snatch and work on riding the Bar down into an Overhead Squat.  Start at a warm up weight and increase when you are able to ride the bar down into the bottom of the Squat.  Do 3 reps at each increment. 

    WOD

    EMOM for 10 Minutes 

    3 Snatch 135/95lbs
    Max reps of Burpees over the Bar

    Make sure that you choose a weight that allows you 3 snatches every minute with some time for Burpees during every minute.  Your score is the weight you use for the Snatches and the amount of Burpees you complete.

    Strength

    Deadlift 3×2 ~ 90%  

    Take the deadlift up for a heavy double using about 90% of your max and perform 3 sets. If you have time and energy continue on to a 1RM attempt.  New lifters work up to a heavy max for the day.  Do not compromise form just to lift a few extra pounds.
