The Week

 

Monday – High Heels

 

Twelve minutes to work to a heavy single of a hang squat snatch.  Use the technique we’ve been working with the last few weeks.  Follow up with a 9 min AMRAP of light hang squat snatches and double unders.  Move smooth, don’t rush!

 

Tuesday – Squat Day

 

Add 5 lbs to your squats!  Between sets, dumbbell Kroc Rows.

 

Wednesday – Marston

 

Hero WOD for the middle of the week this week.  AMRAP for 20 minutes of 1 deadlift, 10 toes to bar, and 15 bar facing burpees.

 

Thursday – One-two punch

 

Team up for an ascending AMRAP.  3 KB swings, 3 box jump overs, 3 wall balls, then 6-6-6, 9-9-9, and keep adding 3 for the rest of 20 minutes.

 

Friday – Guts and Glory

 

This one is a little extensive.  Essentially 3 different couplets to complete.  Just flow from one to the next with no break.

21 – 15 – 9:
Step Ups (24/20) (1 Rep = 1R/1L)
Thrusters (95/65)

15 – 12 – 9:
Row for Calories
Hang Squat Cleans (95/65)

12 – 9 – 6:
Lateral Burpees over Bar
Overhead Squats (95/65)

 

Saturday – Chain Smoker

 

5 rounds on the 4:00 mark:  pull-ups, dumbbell snatches, and a 200 m run.  Move fast enough to get a little break every round.  This is not a day to be breaking up your pull-ups a lot.
