Minute 1 – Hang Snatch x 1 rep

Minute 2 – Snatch x 1 rep
*Perform both movements at 135#
 I was failing at 115 during warm-up, so I did 2 sets at 125 and they felt really good. So then I bumped up at 135 and did 10 complete sets with 135. I failed the hang snatch on set 7 and failed the snatch on set 4, and twice on set 10 (then I got it on the 3rd attempt)
B.

Complete
E3. Weighted plank hold; 45sec, rest as needed

Front Squat, Rest 2-4 minutes between sets
Build to a tough 1 rep in 7 attempts. If you feel good go for a small PR on set 7
 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220 – this is a 5# PR, I just barely got it and my back was rounded L

6 Hang Squat Cleans (125 lbs)

9 Burpees Over the Barbell

3 Minutes of Bar Dips @ 10X1
(pause for one second at full extension)

2 Minutes of Shoulder to Overhead (95 lbs)

Set 1 = 996m (2:00.4/500m pace), 30 dips, 25 push jerk
Set 2 = 1004m (1:59.5/500m pace), 29 dips, 26 push jerk 

Saturday
I did Part A and B on Sunday
A. 
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets): 

Snatch Balance + Hang Snatch + Snatch + Overhead Squat
*Build over the course of the five sets.
 105, 115, 120, 125 (failed snatch then got it), 130, 135 (failed hang snatch), 135
B. 
Every 2 minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets):

*Sets 7-8 – 95%
205, failed the jerk on set 8
*Sets 9-10 – 101+% Used 205 for these last 2 sets. I wasn’t using jerk boxes because someone was using them, so catching the weight got really hard. I can’t do this anymore because it definitely agitated my shoulder.
%=front squat max

C. 
Every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes (3 sets), complete the following for time: 

Row 1,250/1000 Meters

60 Double-Unders

30 Kettlebell Swings (32/24 kg)

15 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
to abmat
10 Toes to Bar

5 Bar Muscle-Ups
 I did a team met-con on Saturday with the class.
3 rounds: 30 cal row, 15 box jump (24”), 30 KBS (53#), 15 burpees, 30 DUs (rested after each round until teammates finished)
*For most of you, the strict handstand push-ups will be the limiter. If you have to scale this workout, scale your number of reps there to ensure that you can finish each set under the 10-minute cap. No recommended rest time here. Just pick a sustainable pace so that you can finish each set as fast as possible without the last set being more then a minute off.

Sunday
A. 
Every two minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets): 

Back Squat

*Set 1 – 5 reps @ 55%

*Set 2 – 5 reps @ 65%

*Set 3 – 3 reps @ 75%

*Set 4 – 2 reps @ 85%

*Set 5 – 2 reps @ 90%

*Set 6 – 1 rep @ 95%

*Set 7 – 2 reps @ 90%

*Set 8 – 1 rep @ 90%
 I did Saturday’s part A and B, so I didn’t do this part
B. “The 2008 CrossFit Games…Minus the Hill…and compressed into 30 minutes”
I did the class workout instead. I built to a max power clean x 2 plus push jerk combo. My last set was at 185, which I think is a PR for 2 power cleans touch n go. Doing the push jerks after the split jerks was a really bad idea. The met-con was team Cindy for 15min, which was easy.

Week 6
Tuesday
A. 
Every two minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets): 

Snatch x 1 rep

*Sets 1-2 – 65-75%
100, 110
*Sets 3-4 – 80-85% 125
*Sets 5-6 – 85-90%
135
*Sets 7-8 – 90-95%
140, 145
*Sets 9-10 – 95-105% 150, 155. This is a post-injury PR of 5#, and I’m happy because I didn’t have any fails.
B. 
Every minute, on the minute, for 8 minutes: 

Strict Shoulder Press x 1 rep
Loads per set (by %): 55, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95,
I took my %’s off of 105 as a max, so my loads were 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 (this was super hard)
+
On the 12:00min mark
+
Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets) of: 

Strict Shoulder Press x 1 rep @ 101-105%
 I used 100 for these sets because it was so hard
C. 
For max reps: 

:90sec of Muscle-Ups,
Rest 60 seconds

:60sec of Muscle-Ups,
Rest 60 seconds

:30sec of Muscle-Ups
Note reps achieved for each set.
 I subbed Chest 2 Rings because the class was using the gym space with the pull-up rig. I got 16, 13, and 9 reps…this was a bit of a clusterfuck because people started walking in and I was trying to stay out of the way while doing this part.
D1. Single-Arm DB Row @2111; 3 x 10/each, 
(move up in weight from last week)
Rest as needed

Complete with 35#
D2. Strict Toes to bar; 3 x 10 as slow as possible
 Complete, did toes 2 rings
E1. Rope Face pulls; 3 x 15 reps
E2. Chest supported rear laterals; 3 x 20 reps
I didn’t do part E, I didn’t know how to sub the rope face pulls and I didn’t know what E2 was, so I just did some shoulder rehab exercises instead.

Optional Conditioning Session
Preferably this work would be performed early in the day, at least 3-4 hours prior to today’s primary work.
Three sets of: 

Run 1600 Meters @ 90% of your 1600 meter PR pace

Did not complete

Saturday
A. 
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets): 

Snatch Balance + Hang Snatch + Snatch + Overhead Squat
*Build over the course of the six sets. Try to exceed last week’s loads.
115 (failed snatch but redid it successfully within the 2 min), 120, 125, 130, 135 (failed the hang snatch), 140 (failed the snatch but redid it within the 2 min)…these were inconsistent but I did have some solid reps in there 
B. 
Every 10 minutes, for 50 minutes (5 sets) complete the following as quickly as possible: 

Run 800 Meters

2 Legless Rope Climbs (15′)

10 Strict Handstand Push-Ups

15 Ring Dips

20 Burpees Box Jump-Overs (24″/20″)
 I scaled to 2 regular rope climbs and 10 bar dips. My times were 7:12, 7:21, 7:35, 7:43, 7:53. The run took 3:35-3:38 on the first 4 sets and then 3:45 on the last set. This sucked.
*The expectation is that you will have at least 2 minutes of rest between sets. If you are not getting a bare minimum of two minutes of rest per round, please scale the reps or distances so that you get a bit of rest.

Sunday
A. 
Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):

B. 
Every 3 minutes, for 6 minutes (2 sets) of: 

Back Squat x 1 rep @ 101-105%
 Failed at 245 both times, even though this is 5# under my current max. I think I was struggling from travelling all last week and not doing the back squats in week 5.
C1. Reverse Hyper; 4 x 10 @ 50% back squat, rest 10sec
Complete with 120#
C2. Landmines @ 45lbs; 10/side, rest as needed
Complete with 45# barbell plus 10# for first set and 15# for the last 3 sets, had to get a feel for these at first
+
20 sets @ high effort - on a 90 second interval:
2 alternating db snatch @ 70/50lb
3 "perfect push-up" burpees
4 Pull-ups
5 box jumps – 30/24" - no rebounding
Complete, my times for each set in seconds = 31, 29, 29, 30, 30, 29, 28, 28, 29, 29, 28, 28, 28, 29, 28, 27, 27, 27, 27, 26


I definitely need to watch my shoulder over the next few weeks, its been pretty tight and achy.
