    Work up to a heavy max for the day.   If you are new to the barbell lifts work up to a moderate load in small increments and use this time to work on technique.  Focus on keeping your low back protected throughout the lift. Your back should be flat and you should be lifting the bar by extending the knees and hips with the knees tracking over your feet.

    1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    Work up to a 1RM pull-up or heavy max for the day.  If you are working on the bands perform 7 sets at max effort with a band that has you working  in the 1-3 rep range.

    WOD

    For Time

    50 Box Jump 24/20″
    50 Barbell Thruster 45/35lbs
    50 Double Under
    50 Back Squat 45/35 lbs
    50 Push Press 45/35lbs
    50 Burpee

    Off Ramp WOD

    Don’t forget you can scale the volume of a workout as well as the individual movements.  If you are new to CrossFit it’s a good idea to progress the volume over time!  Even if the weights are light higher repetition workouts can leave you pretty sore!

    25 Box Jump
    25 Thruster
    10 Double Under or 100 Single Under
    25 Back Squat
    25 Push Press
    25 Burpee

    WOD

    10 Rounds for time

    12 Kettlebell Swings 32/24kg
    6 Weighted Step Ups 32/24kg 24/20″
    200M Run

    Off Ramp WOD

    5 Rounds for time

    12 Kettlebell Swings
    6 Weighted Step Ups
    200M Run

    Try to step out of your comfort zone and scale up the kettlebell swings if you are ready.   If the bell gets unwieldy your first scaling option is to  perform”russian” style swings to eye level at the heavier weight rather than switch to a lighter bell.  Either way you want to pick a weight that challenges you but lets you keep moving throughout the entire workout.

    Strength

    Power Snatch
    1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    Work up to a moderate power snatch. Increase the load in small increments and make sure that you are dropping under the bar during each repetition. As the load gets heavier your response should be to drop faster and deeper into a partial squat to catch the bar!

    WOD

    “Cindy”

    AMRAP in 20 Minutes

    5 Pull-Ups
    10 Push-Ups
    15 Squats

    Off Ramp WOD

    Half Cindy

    AMRAP in 10 Minutes

    5 Pull-Ups
    10 Push-Ups
    15 Squats

    If you are just now starting at CrossFit Davis and are new to these movements consider cutting the time in half or cutting the volume in some way.  We’ve found that ramping up the volume over time is the best way to acclimate yourself to high intensity exercise!

    Skill

    EMOM for 10  Minutes

    Max Effort set of Kipping Knees-To-Elbows

    If you’ve been performing Toes-To-Bar for a while test out this essential CrossFit movement.  You should be able to hit a higher number than you would with TTB.  If you are still working on TTB, consider KTE the first part of the movement.  In an efficient TTB you are bringing your knees to your chest and then extending the knees to touch the bar with your feet.  This is also a great time to practice the kipping swing. Focus on closing the shoulder and bringing the knees up when your body is behind the pull-up bar. If you begin to tear or are working on strength do some kind of sit-up or keep the movement strict!

    WOD

    20 Power Cleans 135/95lbs
    50 Double Unders
    30 Push Jerks 135/95lbs
    50 Double Unders
    20 Power Cleans 135/95lbs

    Most of us are going to have to break up the Push Jerks in some way but keep the weight light enough so that you can perform decent sized sets.  Whatever you do avoid hanging on to the bar so long that you hit failure!

    Off Ramp WOD

    2 Rounds for time

    10 Power Cleans
    50 Single Unders with 1 Double Under attempt every 25 reps
    10 Push Jerks
    50 Single Unders with 1 Double Under attempt every 25 reps
    10 Power Cleans

    Strength

    EMOM for 10 Minutes

    Odd  Max set of Strict Pull-Ups
    Even Max set of Plank Push-Ups

    The reps are going to fall off fast but fight for as high of a number as you can during each round in 1 attempt.  As soon as you need to come down off the bar your set is over.  If you are on the band go hard but be sure you can come off the bar safely.
