Split Jerk Advice: http://www.catalystathletics.com/blog/blog.php?blogID=1811


Skill 1: 15 Minutes to find a 2 Rep Snatch
*This might be a PR, it might not. Depends on how you are feeling, and do not sacrifice technique for weight

Skill 2: 15 Minutes to find a 3 Rep Heavy Clean & Jerk
*This means perform a C & J then immediately do another, if you drop the bar do not rest more than 3-5 seconds before next rep

**For the two skill segments, same approach as last week. DO NOT go over the 15 minutes, spend 5 minutes warming up then start the clock. 

Strength: EMOM for 10 Minutes
3 Front Squats (Moderate weight, this isn't to hit a 3RM)

WOD: With a Partner

A. Ascending Ladder (1-10)
Squat Snatch 115#/75#
Deficit HSPU 2 x 45#/2 x 25#
*one partner works, the other rests
**Each partner must do each rep scheme. So, Partner A does 1/1 then Partner B does 1/1. Then, Partner B does 2/2 while partner B rests, etc. 
*** Especially with the lower reps, emphasize transition time, A.K.A., the time between when Partner A and Partner B are working

Rest approximately half the time it took you to complete A

B. 10 Rounds
20 calorie airdyne
4 front rack walking lunges (total) 165#/115#
*5 rounds per partner, one works while the other rests

11/22


****Perspective****


Gymnastics 1: 2 Rounds
10 Dips or 4 Muscle-ups
5 Front Levers
5 Back Levers

Gymnastics 2: Alternating EMOM for 10 Minutes:
Odd: 5 strict Weighted Pull-ups (compare to last week)
Even: Max Strict HSPU + 3 Kipping HSPU

Gymnastics 3: Tabata pistols

70-80% WOD: 

4 Rounds
5 Burpees (no wasted steps)
5 C2B (Mod: Chin-over)
5 Wallballs 20#/14#
5 KB Snatches (5 each arm) 53#/35#

Rest 3 Minutes

3 Rounds:
10 Air Squats (focus on your movement)
10 T2B
10 Box Jumps 24"/20"
10 Shoulder-to-Overhead 115#/75#
* Like the title says, go 70-80%! I don't care about your time, I care about the quality of your movement and your virtuosity. You don't always get better by killing yourself, you improve by moving more efficiently and understanding what proper movement and positioning feel like.

Skill 1: Find your Max Height Box Jump

Skill 2: 5 x 2 Split Jerk
*Goal is for weights to be challenging, but do not sacrifice technique

Strength: Deficit Deadlifts 4 x 5 
* Bar rests on ground, you stand on either 25# or 45# plates which will increase the range of motion we are working. You will not be going heavier on this than you did last week. I would recommend dropping to the weigth we used 3-4 weeks ago. Again, emphasis is on technique!

WOD 1: 'Diane' 21-15-9
Deadlift 225#/155#

Rest a minimum of 10 minutes 

WOD #2: Not For Time, complete in AS FEW SETS AS POSSIBLE
20 Clean & Jerks (Guys: 140#-175#, Girls: 90#-120#)
* Be honest with yourself, I have given you the range in which to choose. Use the weight you think would be most beneficial. As a guideline for choosing weight, I advise to target 5-8 reps unbroken.
**Take as much time as necessary between sets
***You can obviously scale down if necessary

*This might be a PR, it might not. Depends on how you are feeling, and do not sacrifice technique for weight

Skill 2: 15 Minutes to find a 2 Rep Heavy Clean & Jerk
*This means perform a C & J then immediately do another, ideally you will not put the bar down between the two

**For the two 15 Minute segments, DO NOT go over the 15 minutes, spend 5 minutes warming up then start the clock. This is to get you used to having to work under a time constraint and mirror competition. Yes, it might not be as heavy as you could go with more time or rest but that is not the goal.
