Mobility:

Hip Mobility (Couch Stretch, Wall groin stretch) – Couch stretch will be for 2 minutes per side.

Roll out back w/ overhead position –

For rolling out the back in the overhead, watch the 3:10 to 4:10 mark.  We’ll do 10 reps of this before moving on.

Skill:

Practice Clean & Jerk

You can practice either power cleans or full squat cleans(from the ground no matter what).  Note:  To efficiently move higher loads, the full squat clean works best, as successfully pulling your body UNDER the bar after the hip explosion means the bar does not have to travel as high as a power clean to get into your shelf/rack postion.

The jerk can be either regular jerk or split jerk, which ever you are more comfortable with.

which will prepare us for….

WOD:

Clean & Jerk 1RM:

I had to take this down the other day, but now that all have made it through the class, I would like to congratulate all those who made it through the CrossFit Level One Certification last Wednesday and Thursday.  Big thanks to Todd Widman, Nicole Gordon, and Joe Westerlin for great instruction and being all around great people.  The world of CrossFit is better thanks to folks like you.
