    Sumo Deadlift

    2-2-2-2-2-2-2

    Work up to a strong double of a Sumo Deadlift.  Some lifters may find that this is a stronger lift for them. After your general warm up start light and increase in small increments. As always focus on maintaining your lumbar posture throughout the entire movement. New lifters should remember not to go to failure but judge your limits by the effort and strain it takes to achieve the repetitions.

    EMOM for 10 Minutes

    Odd Max Effort Set of Ring Dips
    Even :30 seconds of Double Unders

    The most difficult option for Dips will be on top of the Rings but they can be scaled down to parallel dip bars or as bench dips if this is a new movement for you.

    On the even minute perform a set of 30-50 Double Unders. If you are still working on mastering the movement use the first half of the minute to get as many double unders as you can.  Try to come up with a rep scheme that you can maintain.  Most folks start with alternating between singles and doubles.

    Today’s metcon is a classic and beautiful workout from HQ.

    3-5 Rounds

    400M run
    15 Thrusters

    Obviously this workout can be scaled by weight, and thrusters can be performed as goblet squats if you are still working on squat mechanics but don’t forget that if you are new to CrossFit and CrossFit Davis we encourage you to consider the total volume of the workout.  Keep the intensity up and keep going as long as you are moving well!

    Reminder! Today we have barbell club at 5:30! WOD Classes are at 4:45PM and 6:30PM.

    Strength

    Front Squat 8-5-5-3-3-2-2-2

    Work up to a strong effort front squat.  Start light and increase the weight for each set.  The focus here should be keeping your torso upright and tracking your knees over your feet.   If your chest and elbows are collapsing forward you have probably gone too heavy. Establish good form early and increase only if your mechanics are sound.  Keep that bar racked on your shoulders throughout the lift!

    WOD

    AMRAP 10 Minutes

    20 Burpee Bar Hops
    10 Front Rack Lunges 135/95lbs

    This is a repeat workout!  If you are not logging your workouts you should start now!  CrossFit Davis has Beyond The Whiteboard available.  Sign up here!

    Off Ramp WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    20 Burpees
    10 Front Rack Lunges 45/35lbs

    Remember that jumping over that bar makes everything else harder.  Scale the jump itself to a lower height to make the lunges more manageable.

    Strength

    E2MOM 10 Minutes
    3 Power Cleans *

    Work up to a moderate load and perform 3 Power Cleans every 2 minutes.  Work on pulling the bar off of the ground with your hips sitting low.  Keep your back angle the same as you pull off of the floor and then open the hips to create vertical drive. Catch the bar in a partial squat and with your elbows up.  TnG is okay but make sure that each lift is under control.

    *Perform a set of strict pull-ups immediately after for an added challenge.

    Handstands and Skin the Cats

    Spend 10 Minutes working on the Handstand progression.  If you have been kicking up to the wall try wall facing or freestanding handstand attempts. Perform 1-3 “Skin the Cats”  between  handstand attempts. Scale the handstands by holding pike with your feet on a box if you are just starting out.  Skin the cats can be scaled to Knees to Elbows and Ring Roll Outs.
