    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

    Back Squat 3×2 ~ 90%

    Remember 90% is just a rough guideline.  If you have seen this before try to add a few pounds. 90% should feel difficult but should have the same form as your lightest lift.

    Beginners new lifters should start light work up in sets of 2-5.  Increase a few pounds during each set and work up to a moderate max for the day.
