games prep
A. Snatch; 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, rest 90-240 sec.
B. Snatch Pull; 3 x 3 @ 10% heavier than your heaviest completed snatch.

I’ve got an idea for a met-con for myself, it will be a WOD that involves a full sq/snatch since that movement is already dialed in from the work.

We are a short time out from the open so I will be getting in a double today. Mostly because while up in Boston I focused on coaching and learning and didn’t get any work in.

All Athletes, focus on quality. If the speed and position are not there do not work at the prescribed loads. Treat these lifts as if you are being judged at a sanctioned weightlifting meet.
A. Power Snatch; 1 x 2 @ 80%, 1 x 1 @ 85%, 3 x 1 @ 90%, rest 2-4 min
B. Front Squats; 1 x 1 @ 85%, 3 x 1 @ 90%, rest 90-120 sec

GWOD
10 minute muscle up practice.
Focus on turn out, start strict if you can, work on doing consecutive reps even if it’s only 2 or 3, tying reps together will help build the total reps.

Monday – Training

We are just over 3 weeks out from the announcement of the first sectionals workout. In the past month we have been ramping up the strength training as the loads have been increasing and our bodies have been feeling the effects of the volume and intensity. Over that period I hope we have exposed some weaknesses and now we can isolate those and begin to focus on them. Among them, will be the option of continued strength focus, technique, maintenance, longer endurance met-cons, gymnastics work, and endurance intervals. All of these options will not be available every training day, however when they are available make your decision based on what you need to work on, and be honest with yourself. Make a choice for one or two or the additional options but do not choose all, the body will not function with enough quality through all of the options.

Games Prep

Part I
A. C&J; 1 x 1+1 & 85%, 3 x 1+1 @ 90%, rest 2-4 min
B1. RDL; 4 x 3 @85%; 20 sec
B2. Box Jumps; 4 x 6, rest 3 min

Over the next couple of weeks we will start addresses individual weaknesses. I hope we have exposed some of those weaknesses over the past weeks as we have been building our foundation of strength, this way we know what to work on being 3 1/2 weeks out from the start of the open.

Over the next weeks of games prep there will be a couple of different options for additional training. There will be a gymnastics WOD, endurance interval work, and met-cons that will cover various time domains. Knowing where your own strengths and weaknesses are it will be very important to work on the weaknesses. The several options should not all be completed, pick one component and complete it with the highest quality or intensity that it calls for.

As far as additional work today, I have a couple of ideas. Pay attention to how your body feels, we have been increasing the loads over the past training sessions so if your body needs rest then rest. If you feel good and need some work here you go;

4RFT
10 DB STO (45/30)
10 GHD Sit Ups
10 Box Jumps (30″/24″)
