Stretching
Focus

– Macro: Olympic lifting (lighter weight and larger sets)

– Expect to see more workouts that encourage you to hang on to the barbell for larger unbroken sets.

Include barbell cycling.

– We will also test a Grace, Open Test 18.1, Andi, and Fight Gone Bad as CAP benchmarks.

Warm-up (No Measure)

1 set:

5:00 slow run, bike, row, or ski

3 sets:

10 PVC pass throughs

10 PVC good mornings

10 PVC muscle snatches

10 PVC shoulder presses

1 set:

10 deadlifts (empty barbell)

10 clean pulls

10 muscle cleans

10 front squats

10 push jerks

3 sets:

5 clean and jerks

– Build in load.
– Use the first three sets to elevate your heart rate and limber up.

– Use the fourth set to practice moving through the clean and jerk. Don’t rush here; focus on hitting your positions.

– Increase loading on the final 3 sets and find your workout weight.

Grace (Time)

For Time:
30 Clean and Jerks, 135# / 95#
Stimulus & Goals

– Classic CrossFit benchmark Grace.

– 2:00-7:00.

– Advanced athletes should push to finish sub-3:00.

– 3-5 unbroken reps at a time.

– Retest from 250220.

Strategy

– Come out of the gate with a large, but manageable, set; go for something that challenges your capacity but still leaves a few reps in the tank.

– Consider a set of 10, a short break, and then a set of 5. From here, you may choose to perform fast singles for the remainder of the workout.

– Remember to get your hands back on the bar. One more rep is one rep closer to the finish.

Modifications

Clean and jerks | Load, hang clean and jerks, hang clean and push presses, dumbbell clean and jerks

250807 (5 Rounds for weight)

EMOM 20:

Min 1: 8 alternating back-rack reverse lunges

Min 2: 5 box jumps

Min 3: 3 rope climbs (15/15 ft)

Min 4: rest
Stimulus & Goals

– Heavy day with a twist.

– :45-:50 of work per minute.

– Take the back-rack lunge barbell from a rack.

– Start at a challenging first working load; increase or decrease throughout the workout as needed.

– Challenging box jump height; step down from the box.

Strategy

– Make this workout as hard or as easy as you need to depending on recovery needs today.

Modifications

Back-rack reverse lunges | Load, box squats or back-rack low-box step-ups, dumbbell lunges, unweighted lunges.

Box jumps | Height or box step-ups

Rope climbs | Height, reps, pull-to-stands

Strength III (3 Rounds for weight)

3 sets:

12 close-grip bench presses

1:00 sandbag hold at the chest (100/150 lb)
– Increase the close-grip bench load as mechanics and strength allow. Use a weight that you can complete 12 reps in two sets or less.

– Use a challenging sandbag load that allows for unbrroken holds for the entire minute. If you don’t have a sandbag, use a d-ball, two kettlebells or dumbbells, or a barbell in the rack position.

– Do not push to failure unless you have a spotter. If you do not have a spotter, you can still perform the session, but leave some gas in the tank to avoid failure.

– Rest as needed between sets.

Stretching (Checkmark)

1 set:

1:00 foam roll upper back

1:00 foam roll calf/side
