Wednesday
BLK LBL Fitness Club – CrossFit®
Warm-up
**1. Movement Prep/Activation and Increasing Heart Rate**
“Floor is lava” (5 minutes)
– into –
3-4 sets (10:00 time cap)
10 PVC Pass Throughs
5 Snatch Grip Deadlifts
5 High Hang Muscle Snatch
5 Snatch Push Press
5 Power Snatch
**2. Strength Prep**
Athletes have a 10 min EMOM of 5 touch and go Power Snatch. Weight should feel comfortable as we will be building on the weight established this week over the next few weeks. Athletes should utilize a strong power position when receiving the bar (even if muscle snatch is possible with lightweight). Starting feet wider than the normal “jumping position” and staying there throughout these reps will allow faster cycling time than resetting the feet with each rep. Focus is on a smooth pull, catching a good 2in dip, and transitioning right back down. After a slight pause at the top of the rep, we want a controlled transition back down to the floor.
– Athletes should look to increase weight from the last cycle (5lbs) if they breezed through the reps. Don’t add weight if it risks failure, form, or uneasiness through the 5 reps.
**3. Workout Prep**
2 sets
10 Double Unders
5 Kettlebell Swings (use workout weight for set 2)
Weightlifting
Metcon (Weight)
Every Minute (10:00)
5 Power Snatch
– Use lightweight that can be cycled smoothly for 5 Touch and Go reps
This is an Open Barbell Cycling Prep. We want this to be light and fluent where athletes focus on controlling the weight, good breathing patterns, and consistent form from start to finish. The goal should be to keep the first and last sets looking the same (smooth and controlled).
Metcon
Metcon (Time)
60-50-40-30-20
Double Unders
30-25-20-15-10
Kettlebell Swings 53/35
TARGET SCORE
Target time: 8-10 minutes
Time cap: 12 minutes
STIMULUS and GOALS
Stimulus is moderate to increasing effort across rounds as reps decrease. Shoulder fatigue from Kettlebell Swings will affect athlete’s ability to perform double unders as the workout progresses so athletes should focus on a strong hip drive during swings and keeping shoulders relaxed during double unders
