Complete the CrossFit Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins. During the skill segment, perform 1 Snatch from each position each minute. Use 40% of your Snatch 1RM. This is for technique! It’s not very heavy. For an added challenge, pause for a 3 count in the bottom, receiving position.
For the strength segment, for the Back Squat follow the reps and % progression up to 4 singles at 90% 1RM. You can work quickly through the warmups, but rest roughly 3-4 minutes between the 3 work sets. These are going to be very heavy.
This is a CrossFit Benchmark WOD. Time cap has been set at 12 minutes. As RXd these are full cleans, taken from the floor and received in a full front squat. Follow this progression scale if you don’t have Ring Dips: Pushups – Ring Pushups – Bar Dips – Ring Dips. Make sure your time makes it onto the white board today so we can update the PR Boards. And when you do get a PR, put it on the Monthly PR Board too (it’s not just for lifting)!

Complete the Burgener Warmup for 4 rounds BEFORE class begins – first round with PVC, 2nd with training bar, 3rd and 4th with women’s bar (guy’s should do a 4th with a 45lb bar). For the skill segment, complete 2 Full Snatches every minute on the minute for 8 minutes. Don’t rush and make sure you are set up well for each movement. These are very light. Try pausing in the bottom of the squat for 3-4 seconds each rep.
For the strength segment, for the Back Squat follow the reps and % progression up to 3 sets of 2 reps at 85% 1RM. You can work quickly through the warmups, but rest roughly 3-4 minutes between the 3 work sets. Work with at least 1-2 other people on your bench. This will keep you from working too fast. These are going to be pretty heavy.
For the conditioning workout, take the Push Press bar from the floor to start each round.

Complete the Burgener Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins. For the skill segment, complete three rounds of the 4 movement complex. This is untimed, but shouldn’t take more than 6-8 minutes. Don’t rush and make sure you are set up well for each movement. You can rest between rounds as well.
For the strength segment, follow the warmup progression and then complete 3 sets of 3 reps at 80% 1RM. Rest 2-3 minutes between work sets. The entire strength segment shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes. Work quickly through the three warmup sets so you can maximize rest time during the 4 work sets.
For the conditioning workout, continue up the ladder beginning with 1 rep each until the clock runs out. Control your bars on the way down, especially when class is full!

Complete the Burgener Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins. During the skill segment, perform 1 full Snatch from each position every minute on the minute for 6 minutes (18 total reps). Do these at just 35-40% 1RM. They should feel pretty light. This is for technique. To add a level of difficulty, hold each landing in the bottom position (overhead squat) for a 1-3 second count.
For the strength segment, follow the warmup progression and then complete 3 sets of 4 reps at 75% 1RM. Rest 2-3 minutes between work sets. The entire strength segment shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes.
For the conditioning workout, the RX Deadlift load is 40% of your most recent 1RM. Do not guess, and do not use more just because you think it’s too light! Carry the Med Ball anyway you can for each 200m run, which is done between rounds of Deadlifts.
Here’s an example of how to pause in the bottom of your Snatch

Complete the Burgener Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins. During the skill segment, perform 2 full Snatch from the floor every minute on the minute for 8 minutes (16total reps). Do these at just 35-40% 1RM. They should feel pretty light. This is for technique. To add a level of difficulty, hold each landing in the bottom position (overhead squat) for a 1-3 second count.
For the strength segment, you will establish a 1RM Back Squat for the day. Follow the reps and % progression up to 90% and then take 2-3 attempts at a 1RM. Failing is ok, but know your capacity and don’t be stupid. Also, you should be working with at least one other person at your station. This will help insure that you don’t work too quickly and also get us working together. Make sure you ring the Cowbell and write your PRs on the board too!
For the conditioning workout, take the OHS bar from the ground to start each round. As there are only a total of 18 reps you can still scale pretty heavy for these, ie 75% 1RM. Note that you have a 7 minute cap on this workout. So, choose all of your scaling wisely. Attempt to work as hard and as heavy as possible without getting cut off from finishing.
