Workout of the Day (WOD)
“Raising the Bar”
9 Minute AMRAP
8 Lateral Bar Hop Burpees
7 Cleans
6 Front Rack Lunges (Level 1 – Front Squats)
5 Shoulder to Overhead
(m = 65/95/135, w = 45/55/95)
Tips from Neal Maddox:
I trust you will enjoy this workout again. Think about your experience with the workout the first time around. Did you struggle in your transitions? Could you have taken more strategic rest? For example, if you need to break up a round, it is better to set the bar down after 6 cleans, rest and then clean the bar up into the front rack position for your 7th rep. This sets you up for your front rack lunges without doing an extra rep. Also, fight not to put the bar down during front rack lunges and shoulder to overhead, because every drop results in an extra clean. Have fun, stay steady, and we can’t wait to see your improvements. – Neal Maddox – 7 Time Games Athlete

Workout of the Day (WOD)
“Nimble Sasquatch”
14 Minute AMRAP
Level 3
2-4-6-8-10-… Squat Clean & Jerk (165/115)
1-2-3-4-5-… Muscle Up
Continue adding 2 Squat Clean & Jerks and 1 Muscle Up per Round
Level 1
2-4-6-8-10-… Clean & Jerk (65/45)
3-6-9-12-15-… Ring Rows
Continue adding 2 Clean & Jerks and 3 Ring Rows per Round
This WOD is designed to test your strength and gymnastics skills under fatigue. My advice for this workout is to pick the level that allows you to keep moving without more than a 10-second rest in between any given rep. So, no you won’t go unbroken throughout the workout, but don’t be standing around for half the workout just to grind through a few reps. The weight should be no more than 75% of your 1RM. The workout is even spicy for me at Level 2, so don’t let your pride get in the way of getting in a phenomenal workout. – Neal Maddox – 7 Time Games Athlete
