S/S/S:
Hang Power Snatch 6×2 @ 80% of Muscle Snatch 1RM
(guess what you just set yesterday?)
Sets start Every Minute on the Minute
Video courtesy of TD Strength and Conditioning. With the Hang Power Snatch, stnad up with the weight with hips and kees fully locked out. Then, keeping back straight, bend at the hips until the weight is at mid-thigh. Then explosively open the hips, knees and ankles, pulling the bar with theat momentum. then pull the body under the bar, locking out overhead as you hit a quarter squat. Now, since 80% of your 1RM on Muscle Snatch, it should be slightly easier to Hang Power Snatch it. That means, focus on perfect technique and SPEED!
Video courtesy of Anvil Athletics. Remember, do not re-bend knees once you are fully extended.

As stated earlier in the week, Cornhusker CrossFit will be putting on a fundraiser for the Hazlett family.
For those that missed the pic, read below:
So, if you cannot make it to Cornhusker CrossFit in Lincoln at 1000, not to fear! We have worked out an agreement with Cornhusker CrossFit and Fit2Fight to run the Fundraiser WODs they have designed at our facility at 0900 Saturday morning. The coach in charge will take whatever donations you can give. Not a requirement, but who doesn’t want to give to this great cause?
So the WODs will be….
SORRY!
Can’t announce them early. Don’t want to spoil the surprise for those hitting up Cornhusker CrossFit.
We can tell you this….
There MIGHT be a Team WOD.
There MAY be an Individual WOD.
You WILL be good and worked by the end of this, but will enjoy yourself and maybe even learn something new about what you are capable of doing.
Come in and enjoy the fun and help a little girl’s life at the same time. Win-Win!!!
UPDATE on Cornhusker CrossFit Fundraiser. For those who cannot make it to Lincoln on Saturday for the event, we will host a satellite running of the workouts at 0900 Saturday in the TOTF area. If you would like to donate (not mandatory), the coach on hand will collect. This is for a great cause and will be some great workouts! So, either hit up Lincoln, or hit up TOTF Saturday morning!
and now for today’s fun….

WOD:
Max Effort:
-750m Row
-500m Row
-250m Row
-100m Row
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. As a 2012 Olympic silver-medalist rower, Krista Guloien has a thing or two to say about the erg.
“(It’s) a bit of a torture device,” she says with a smile, “something that we use as a tool and we almost have to learn to love, in a way. It’s not one of the most easy pieces of sporting equipment by any stretch.”
In this video, Guloien offers some tips on how to approach the rower, starting with having a seat.
“Typically, you just want to set yourself up to make yourself comfortable,” she says, also referencing the foot straps and the damper setting.
When rowing, Guloien says she thinks about three things: length, power and connection.
“Rhythm is also really key,” she adds. “So you want to get yourself in a cadence that’s repeatable and something (in which) you’re able to apply pressure equally per stroke over a long period of time.”
Cash Out:
Tabata Roll Out
Go from body part to body part, rolling on one for 20 seconds, taking a 10 second break, then going on to the next. Ensure you cover your WHOLE body. If you find an overly tight area, do a few rounds of 20 seconds on it.
Firebreather Piece (Done on your own outside of class):
Mobility!
Find tight areas that you discovered while rolling out and do two mobility drills on this area, 5 minutes per side.
Today we will be working on proficiency of movement on a select group of exercises.
WOD:
“Unbroken”
Not For Time, but you must do reps unbroken before moving on from one exercise to the next:
Exercise(pick rep scheme) A B C
Box Jumps (24/20) 25 15 10
OH Squats(120/70) 25 15 10
Double Unders 50 40 20
Burpees 30 20 10
KB Swings(1.5/1) 60 30 20
Post what reps scheme you used and if you got each move unbroken as RX’d. Put this in Comments/LogWOD
As the name implies, the goal of today is go UNBROKEN per exercise. That means, whatever move and rep scheme you start with, you stay on that movement until you get the needed number of unbroken reps. That said, we will give you a total of 5 attempts per move as we want you to try all of them. That’s why there will be no scale option for Double Unders. You will either get them, or get 5 attempts at it. The only scale today will be if you can’t handle the Overhead Squat weight for a rep. Then, drop the weight down to what you can handle and go unbroken on your given rep scheme. Today is about efficiency of movement. It is one thing to do a movement correctly once. It is a complete different thing to repeat this movement correctly for a given number of reps. Consider this a way to help you the next time you are up against the clock in a WOD.
Cash Out:
Romanian Dead Lifts (RDL) – 3×15 @ 75% of Dead Lift 1RM

Handstand Push Up Progression:
Find Max Kipping Handstand Push up in 2 minutes
Video courtesy of CrossFit Invictus. Coach Carl Paoli at Invictus’ Athlete Camp last January. He hits the nail right on the head when it comes to creating proper motor patterns in movements. Do you think we coaches critique what you are doing because we’re mean or we get some kind of kick out of telling you what you did wrong? Hell no! We want you to achieve the proper movement so you can repeat it over and over again, creating a proper movement motor pattern. If you learn improper movements and do those over and over again, what happens? Your body gets used to crap form, you do the movement improperly, leading to minimal results, and most likely injury. Now, would you rather I hurt your feelings in the short term than allow you to hurt yourself over the long term? You’re welcome 🙂
Video courtesy of the NFL. For your Vertical jump, you will stand next to one of the beams in the Muscle Up area of the pull up rig. Extend your arm up over your head, fully lock it out. The coach will then mark the top of your reach. You will then put a bit of chalk on your index and middle finger. You will do the vertical jump right next to the beam, hitting the beam at the height of your jump. The coach will then measure the difference from your reach to the spot you touched in your jump. This will be your vertical jump distance.
Cash Out:
Tabata Ring Plank:

With this being the final week of Regional Competition, we wanted to give you a taste of whatthe first day of Regionals felt like for the 48 best athletes in the region…
WOD:
2013 Regionals Day One Individual WODs 1 and 2:
“Jackie” For time: 1000 meter Row 45 pound Thruster, 50 reps 30 Pull-ups
5 minutes later…..
7 Minute ladder of 3 Overhead Squats
For “Jackie”, the athlete will begin on the rower with the handle in the rack and their hands off the handle. At the call of “3-2-1 … Go!” the athlete will begin rowing and rows 1,000 meters, then gets off the rower and moves to a designated area to perform 50 thrusters. After the 50th thruster, the athlete moves to the pull-up bar and performs 30 pull-ups. Once the 30th pull-up is complete, the workout is finished.
For the Overhead Squat Ladder, the athlete will have 7 minutes to perform 3 overhead squats at increasing weights to the highest weight possible. Each athlete will begin with a barbell loaded to one of four starting weights of their choice (see below) and a stack of plates. It will be the athlete’s responsibility to load the bar to the correct weight each lift. Once the event begins, the barbell may not get lighter throughout the 7 minutes. The men must make increases in 10-pound increments, while the women must make increases in 5-pound increments.
Athletes will not have a rack, but may get the barbell into the overhead position using any technique they choose. If the athlete uses a full squat snatch to get the weight overhead that will count as the first repetition, as long as all the overhead squat requirements are met. After a squat snatch, the athlete must perform two additional overhead squats to complete the set. If you want to do the same as the athletes at Regionals, then your choice for starting weights are..
