“Training. You don’t win training, you don’t lose training, you train. You train for a future result so the goal in each day is improvement, growth and lessons learned. On the day of the test, that is really the only measure that counts.” — Adrian Conway

The Week
Monday – Fran
That’s right! It’s Fran time! This is one of the most well known CrossFit workouts. 21-15-9 reps of thrusters and pull-ups. The goal of this workout is intensity, 2-4 minutes. We’ll cap it at 7 minutes. Your goal should be to do everything unbroken and FAST! This is a test, so make sure to get it in!
Tuesday – Squats
Week 1 of our squat cycle, followed by the workout “Home Alone”. This is a great one to remember for anytime you do need to get in a quick WOD on the road or at home. 30-20-10 of air squats and sit-ups.
Wednesday – Air Walker
Twenty minute AMRAP of 200 m runs, 50 double unders, and 3 rounds of “The Chief”. The runs today need to be hard, not recovery efforts. One round of “The Chief” is 3 power cleans, 6 push-ups, and 9 air squats.
Thursday – Clothesline
For the strength portion at the beginning of class we’ll build to a heavy set of 2 on strict press. There will be a lot of reps in the beginning, so make small jumps as strict presses go away quickly for most of us. Follow that with the workout Clothesline, a 12 minute AMRAP very similar to an Open workout, that goes 2 push presses, 2 toes to bar, 2 box jumps, then 4-4-4, 6-6-6, and on until time runs out.
Friday – Bee’s Knees
Five rounds of 1 minute of wall balls, Russian kettlebell swings, and calories, followed by 1 min of rest. This is a very similar style to the benchmark WOD Fight Gone Bad.
Saturday – Low Five
Five min AMRAPs with 5 minutes of rest in between, your score will be burpees. Start the AMRAP with 30/21 calories and power snatches. Each 5 minute AMRAP, the power snatch weight will go up as the reps go down.
