    Max Effort Support Hold on the rings.
    15 Second Hollow Rocks

    Strength

    Back Squat 3×5 ~ 70-75%

    Work up to around 70-75% of your max and perform 3 sets of 5 at that weight. Attempt to increase by a few pounds from that last time you did this. If you are new to this movement work up in sets of 5 to a moderately challenging weight.  Focus on keeping your knees tracking over your feet while keeping your torso upright and pushing back on the bar.

    Strength

    8×3 Weighted Pull-Ups

    Perform 8 sets of 3 weighted pull-ups.  Keep the load the same for all 8 sets. If you are working on the bands use a band that has you working near maximal effort in the 1-3 rep range.

    Strength

    E2MOM for 14 Minutes

    3 Hang Power Cleans ~ 70-75% of 1RM

    Work up to around 70-75% of your 1RM Clean and perform 3 reps at that weight for  7 sets.   New lifters should start with a moderate weight and work on  catching the bar with elbows up and in a partial squat.  You should be dropping lower with each rep as you get fatigued.   Add weight if the progression is going well.

    WOD

    5 Rounds For Time
    21 Kettlebell Swings 24/16kg
    7 Handstand Push-ups

    Off Ramp WOD

    5 Rounds For Time
    21 Kettlebell Swings
    10 Push-Ups, Pike Push-Ups or Dumbbell Push-Press

    HSPU can be very challenging! First you’ll need a baseline level of strength. If knocking out a set of  push-ups is tough you should start there for this workout. Alternatively do Dumbbell Push-Press or Pike Push-Ups if you are ready to work on your overhead strength.

    WOD

    3 Rounds For Time

    15 Overhead Squats 135/95lbs
    21 Box Jumps 30/24″
    400M Run

    Off Ramp WOD

    Scale this workout about  by load and box height!  Challenge yourself with the overhead squat but use a weight you can move through the squat with the bar pressed out and over your feet. Your feet should be flat and you should be able to draw a line from the bar to your feet through the entire range of motion.  The overhead squat takes a lot of joint mobility!

    10 Jerks
    200M Run
    5 Cleans
    5 Jerks

    Then

    20 Body Weight Lunges

    The weight you choose should be chosen by what you can Jerk for reps.  If you are doing singles in the first round you probably went too heavy! Strip the weight on the lunges if you are new to CrossFit. You don’t want to ruin your Superbowl with DOMS!
