    Strength

    Back Squat 3×3 ~ 80% of your 1RM 

    Try to add a few pounds from last time if you have seen this one before.   If you are new to the barbell movements start at a light weight and work up in small increments in sets of 3.  Work up to a moderately heavy weight.  

    WOD

    3 Rounds for Time

    10 Snatch 135/95lbs

    Strength

    Split Jerk 3 @ 80-85% then 1RM.

    Work up to around 80-85% and make 3 lifts at that weight.  Continue working up to a 1RM attempt if time allows.  New lifters should start light, increase in small increments and make several attempts at each weight. Work up to a moderately heavy weight.   

    WOD


    5 Rounds for total reps with 1 Minute on each station.

    Row for Calories
    Box Jumps 24/20″
    Push Press 75/55lbs

    Off Ramp WOD

    Work with a box height that allows you to do plyometric jumps if possible and plan out some rest during each station as there is no transition time between stations or rounds! Make sure the push press weight is something you can perform good reps with the whole way through.  Drop the workout to 3 rounds if needed.

    EMOM for 20 Minutes
    Odd 3 Power Clean ~ 70% 
    Even Sustainable set of Toes-To-Bar

    Practice catching the barbell in a “partial” squat.  Work on catching the bar deeper into your squat as it gets heavier and fatigue starts to set in. 

    For the even minutes work on stringing together Toes-To-Bar or Knee-Tucks. 

    WOD

    AMRAP in 6 Minutes

    5 Right Arm Kettlebell Squat Clean 24/16kg

    5 Left Arm Kettlebell Snatch 24/16kg

    Off Ramp WOD

     

    Make sure to choose a weight you can move for 10 reps while fresh. It’s going to get tough a few rounds in so you want to start out with something you are sure you can move!

    HOLIDAY PARTY and SACTOWN THROWDOWN TRYOUTS ARE TODAY!

    Tryouts will start promptly at 11AM, please show up at 10:30 to warm up and go over the movement standards.

    When we are done with the tryouts we’ll head over to the Graduate for some drinks around 3PM!

    Strength

    1RM Overhead Squat

    New lifters should be performing light weight for multiple reps and increasing in small increments.  Overhead Squats require a lot of mobility and coordination even at a light weight! Do not increase the load until you can squat to full depth with your feet flat, knees tracking out and shoulders externally rotated.  Work with a PVC to learn the mechanics and then slowly add weight. 

    WOD

    “Fran”

    21-15-9

    Thrusters 95/65lbs
    Pull-Ups

    Off Ramp WOD

    Scale the weight appropriately and use a band for pull-ups.  If your squat mechanics need work scale them to goblet squats or to a target if necessary.

    Skill

    E2MOM For 16 Minutes

    3 Power Snatch

    If you’ve seen this one before try to add a few pounds from last time if it went well.  Start with about 60-65% of your 1RM if you are not sure where to start.  New lifters should start light and work on technique. Move up when your mechanics are sound.

    10 Deadlift 225/155lbs
    30 Double Under

    Off Ramp WOD

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    90 Single unders with 1 Double Under attempt every 30!

    This should be a weight you can move easily for a set of 10 while fresh and at no time should your midline be compromised!
