    Strength

    Hang Squat Clean

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

    Start light and increase the load for each repetition. New lifters should focus on the keeping the shoulders forward during the setup and  catching the bar with the elbows up and in a full depth squat before standing up. You should only increase the weight if you are able to perform those basic mechanics.

    Power Clean 2-2-2-2-2-2-2

    Start light and increase weight across each set.  Touch and Go if you can but not required. Either way work on getting two quick reps in succession.  As the load gets heavier and the reps go up you should be dropping lower into a  partial squat to receive the bar!

    Skill

    4x400M Run with 1 run every 4 Minutes.

    Don’t forget Running is a skill too! It can be easy to treat the run like it’s just time for recovery during a workout with other movements.  Use this time to focus on your form and try to complete each 400 as fast as possible. Use the remaining time to recover for your next 400.  Check out the CrossFit Journal for some great resources on running and pose form.

    If you do not make the first 400 in 4 minutes skip the second one and perform the run on the third interval.

    Strength

    Back Squat
    3-3-3-3-3-3

    Work up to a heavy 3 rep back squat.  Remember to track your knees over your feet and keep your torso upright. Each repetition should be as far below parallel as you can go! Don’t short the depth as the load gets heavier.  If you feel your chest falling forward drop some of the weight and make the reps perfect before you increase the load.

    30 Air Squats
    200M Run
    100M Uneven Farmer Carry 32kg,24kg/20kg,16kg

    You need two objects you can carry halfway to the wall and back!  Use kettlebells, dumbbells or for the bravest, two loaded barbells.  The walk doesn’t need to be unbroken but try to make it to the turnaround point with one arm on the heavier object and switch hands for the return trip.   We’ll start in heats on the rowers and from there we’ll move outside to finish the workout.
