Workout of the Day (WOD)

A. Turkish Get ups: Complete 4 sets of 4 reps increasing weight.

B. “Lucky 13”
13 Minute AMRAP

13 Toes to Bar*
13 Kettlebell Swings (m = 16/24/32kg, w = 12/16/24kg) (L1 = Russian Swings)
13 Lateral Box Jump Overs (m = 24/24/30, w = 20/20/24)**

*Toes to Bar Levels
L3: T2B
L2: Wall Situps
L1: Wall Situps

**Step ups and downs permitted for Level 1 and 2.

This workout has been developed in collaboration with Neal Maddox to get your heart pumping and legs and lungs burning. Pick a skill level that doesn’t result in getting stuck for too long. If you have T2B but not yet 13 unbroken, Level 2 could be right. If hanging on the bar will be challenging for that many reps, you might consider going to Level 1 so you can keep moving and get more work done!

Speak with your coach if you have questions about which level is most appropriate for you. Enjoy the workout, and see you on the whiteboard!

Post load for TGU and rounds+reps completed in the AMRAP. Ex: 55#, 5+32 L3

And coming tomorrow…

A. Deadlift: 5-5-5-5-5 increasing weight. Start at 65% and end at 80-85%. Rest 3-5 minutes between sets.

B. “Down River”
4 Rounds [Not For Time]

30 Dumbbell Russian Twists (15 touches each side)
20 Single Arm Dumbbell Bent Row (10 each side)

Workout of the Day (WOD)

A. Front Rack Mobility: Spend 10 minutes on Lats, wrists, and T-spine.

B. “Karen Meets Annie” [17 Minute Time Cap]
50-40-30-20-10
Wall Balls**
Double Unders**
Wall Situps

**Level Movement Details:
L3: Wall Balls (20# to 10ft/14# to 10ft), Double unders
L2: Wall Balls (14# to 10ft/10# to 10ft), 25-20-15-10-5 Double Unders
L1: Wall Balls (14# to 9ft/10# to 9ft), Single unders

Performance Tips:
This workout was inspired by Power Keg CrossFit in San Diego, CA and in collaboration with Neal Maddox. This is twist of 2 beloved benchmark workouts that will put your motor to the test. The goal is to complete the workout as quickly as possible within the time cap. However, not all athletes will be able to finish the entire workout within the time cap, so do your best and use that cap as extra motivation. Not finishing doesn’t mean failure. The workout is tough by design and will help get you ready for the Open.

Pick a skill level that allows you to keep moving rather than get stuck on one of the movements like double unders. If you aren’t proficient at double unders but you can still link 5-6 reps in a row, Level 2 might be the best option due to the scaled rep requirement.

Post time for the WOD. Ex: 14:10 L3.

And coming tomorrow…

A. Bench Press: In 15 minutes working up to a 3 rep max.

B. 16 Minute EMOM:
1st: 12 Goblet Squats (m = 16/24/32 kg, w = 12/16/24)
2nd: 9 Bench Press (m = 95/135/185, w = 65/95/135)
3rd: 6 Strict Pullups (L2/L3+ = C2B)
4th: 1 set 30 second Elbow Plank Hold

Post load for bench and fewest number of reps completed each minute for each movement. The reps do not have to be unbroken. Only 1 set for the plank.
Ex: 265#, 12-10-5-40 L3+.

Coach’s Corner
This workout has been developed by Neal Maddox to be the first of 2 benchmark workouts. It is modeled off one of the original benchmark workouts and adapted to create appropriate skill levels for our wide range of athletes. The original workout was only 1 round no matter what the skill level, but we are challenging both our level 2 and level 3 athletes to take it up a notch with 2 rounds.

Pick a level based on your current abilities, not because you feel like you should be an X level athlete. The goal is to move as quickly through the workout as possible without getting stuck on one movement due to it being too heavy or too advanced of a movement. We will be retesting this workout in 6 weeks for all CFM members. Enjoy the workout and this variation on the Baseline!

And coming tomorrow…

20 Minute AMRAP “Open Test”
50 Wall balls (20/14) to (10/9ft)
50 Double Unders
40 Box Jumps (24/20”)
40 Toes to Bar
30 Chest to Bar Pullups
30 Bar Facing Burpees
20 Cleans (145/100)
20 Jerks (145/100)
10 Snatches (145/100)
10 Muscle Ups

Post total reps completed in the WOD. Ex: 286 Rx.
