30 reps ground to overhead any way, 135lb-M/95lb-W

You will score two times for this workout, your Grace time and the overall time to start to finish for Grace and the 1.2 mile run.  After your 30 reps, yell time and get out the door. The coach on board will record your Grace time.  If you dick around before heading out for the run your clock keeps ticking and your overall time will suffer. Everyone will run out one of the front doors then north on Larchmont, east on Detroit, south on Cordova and west on Madison back in one of the front doors.

Scale weight as needed.  Ground to overhead any way means you can perform a power or full clean followed by a shoulder press, push press or push  jerk or a snatch- muscle, power or full, your choice.

Crossfit Workout - Thursday 08/16/12

Today's workout is a front squat 5-5-5-5-5 immediately followed by a deadlift workout to find your 3 rep max


Perform 5 sets of 5 reps of front squats, 5-5-5-5-5, off a squat rack
Men - 75lb-95lb-115lb-135lb-165lb
Women - 35lb-55lb-75lb-85lb-115lb

Warmup with 2 sets of 5 reps with an empty bar (45lb-M/15lb-W) before beginning the workout.  Maintain perfect form on all reps.  Do not increase weight if your form falters on any rep, continue your remaining sets using the weight you can control. Rest as needed between sets.

Next, you have 15 minutes to find your 3 rep max deadlift.  Begin with approximately the weight you finished your front squat workout with. 3-3-3-3-3 until you find your max weight for 3 reps.  Rest as needed between sets, but you only have 15 minutes to reach your maximum.  Watch the time yourself.

Record your top weight for your 5 rep front squat and 3 rep deadlift on the whiteboard

Warmup:  1500 meter row, 500 meter run, 75 squats, any order/combination
Cool down: 50 ball slams and a 750 meter run, for time(total time for both)

BTW, don't expect to set any PRs on your deadlifts today.  If you have a true 3 rep max, you may not get close to 90% of it.  While you will get a great workout today, this will show you that high reps of other similar movements will fatigue your slow twitch muscles and will not allow you to hit maximal volume on the deadlifts.  In simple terms, if you want a true max, your warmup and prep work should get your body ready but not wear it out.

Concentrate on performing the concentric portion of each lift as fast as possible today, squats and deadlifts.

In 4 minutes, climb a ladder of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10... reps as high as you can of

power clean & front squat
115lb-M/75lb-W

Rest exactly 2 minutes and then, beginning exactly where you finished, perform a down ladder of the same movements, for time. During each round, you may squat clean your final power clean rep and count it as one power clean and one front squat.

Example, after 4 minutes you have completed 7 reps of power cleans and 4 front squats, your score is recorded as 53 total reps.  Your down ladder begins with 7 reps of power cleans and 4 front squats, then 6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of each, for time.

If after 4 minutes you have completed 7 reps of power cleans and 7 front squats then only 3 of your required 8 power cleans, your score is recorded as 59 total reps.  Your down ladder begins with 3 reps of power cleans with zero front squats, then 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of each, for time.

Warmup: 15 kb swings, 15 burpees & 200 meter run, 3 rounds (just like Monday)
Cool down:  Trainer's choice

Find your 1 rep max Clean & Jerk

Begin with sets of 3 reps with a light bar, increasing the weight each set. Once the weight starts to become difficult, drop to single rep sets until you reach your max. Record the highest weight you are able to clean and get overhead.

Prescribed is to perform a squat clean, pause to reset stance, then perform a split jerk. You may choose to perform a power clean instead and choose either a push press or a push jerk (power or split).  Whichever you choose, stick with the same lifts throughout the workout.  Meaning, if you start of doing squat cleans, do not switch to power cleans as the weight gets heavier.  The same goes with the overhead lift that you start with.  Rest as needed between sets, partner up on a bar if it's busy.

Warmup: CF warmup, 3 sets of 10 reps each
Cool down:  one mile run for time, rain or shine
