    Odd Dumbbell Thrusters

    If you are having difficulty with the mechanics of the front squat try using a light pair of dumbbells. Centering the dumbbells over your shoulders should help you keep your torso upright and keep your elbows up.

    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.

    12 Hand Release Push-ups

    Off Ramp WOD

    Scale each movement individually but try to retain the original stimulus.  Deadlifts should be light and fast with perfect form, Push-ups should be chest to floor with full arm extension at the top.  Scale the box height rather than going to step ups if possible.

    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.

    EMOM for 10 Minutes

    Odd: Max set of sustainable Strict Pull-Ups
    Even: Max set of sustainable Strict Push-Ups


    Work on a number that you can maintain through 5 rounds of each.  Keep the number as high as you can without bombing out.  Work using as little help as possible (band, kip or otherwise).  We’ve done a longer version of this in the past. Go for higher numbers this time if you’ve seen it before.
