Video courtesy of Mobility WOD.   With as much as we have to get through to get you prepped for the jerk, we won;t have time in class to do the above mobility piece, but I HIGHLY suggest you make it in 10-20 minutes before class and do both movements K-Starr shows you.  These will be key to proper hip and spinal position as well as opening up the shoulders to allow you to hit the most secure active shoulder position with the weight overhead.  Who doesn’t want a stable active shoulder when you have weight overhead?  I’ll tell you who.  The person who likes having a bar crash on their head.

 

 

WOD:

3 Rounds for Time:
-10 Jerks from the back (135/95)
-50 Double Unders

 

Post time to Contacts/LogWOD

 

Video courtesy of CrossFit Minneapolis.  For the Jerk from the back, you have to show an actual jerk, meaning after you start driving the bar up, you must drop back under the bar.  You can do power jerk (as in the video) or split jerk.  Just remember, this is for time, so doing power jerk would result in faster turnover on reps.  Important note:  take care on how the bar lands on your back.  First off, don’t let it hit too high on you, as that will jack up your neck, but don;t aim too low or you’ll lose the bar.  Aim for the pocket the traps make.  Next, bend the knees as the bar makes contact to absorb the shock.  now, from a strategy standpoint, as you absorb the shock, you could drop right into the dip of your next rep.  Just make sure this is done safely.

 

 

Cash Out:

-Lunge with 1 dumbbell Overhead x 5 reps each side for 3 rounds

-Hang from bar – 3 min total

(Read: Mobility.  If you are skipping this, you’re fooling yourself.  If you feel you are at the level to be a Firebreather, then you should know the importance of mobility.  To skip it is to tempt failure)

Example of the Full Snatch.  Here Greg Everett nails 132 kilos, or 291 pounds.

 

So, today every round you will perform one Snatch High Pull, have the weight come to the ground, and then do one full (read: Squat) Snatch.

20 Abmat Sit-ups

20 Sumo Dead lift High Pulls (75/55)

Post rounds complete to Comments/LogWOD

 

 

Remember, with an AMRAP, goal is to keep the body moving at a constant pace through the entire time.  Come out of the gate too fast, and you’ll be sucking wind before you know it.  Go too slow, you won;t get as much work done as you possibly could.  Find the sweet spot.

 

 

Cash Out:

-Back Extension on GHD 3×10

-Banded Overhead stretch – 2 minutes per side

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  Matt Chan properly demonstrates the back extension on the Rogue Abram GHD.  Remember,w it these, you are essentially curling your spine in a ball one vertebrae at a time, and then extending back out.  The whole time, the hips stay open.

 

 

Firebreather Piece (Done on your own outside of class time):

One arm Snatch – Find 1 RM

You can use Kettle Bell, Barbell, or Dumbbell.  Shooter’s choice.

Ariana

On May 27th, our newest future CrossFitter was born.  Kyle and Jen Gundrum welcomed Ariana Lynn Gundrum to the world.  Congrats guys!

WOD:

Bear Complex

Without stopping or dropping the bar, complete the following sequence, seven times:

  • Power Clean;

  • Front Squat;

  • Push Press (have bar land behind head, in rear-rack position);

  • Back Squat;

  • Back Push-Press (have bar land on chest, in front-rack position).

Once you’ve completed the sequence seven times consecutively without stopping, drop the bar. Add weight, attempt another sequence of 7. Repeat for a total of five rounds.

Post highest successful round weight to Comments/LogWOD

Video courtesy of CrossFit One World.  Since your goal is highest load accomplished for a round, and you have 5 rounds to do this, I’d suggest do your first round with something relatively light so you get one round successfully under your belt.  And for the front squat and push press, they can be combined into a Thruster.  Same with the Back Squat and Back Push Press.  Just know, when you finish the back push press (or back thruster if it was combined with the back squat), as you come back to the front rack, unless you are done with a round, you only want to tap the bar on the floor and then go into your next rep.  Do not separate from the bar until you have finished a round.  Rest as needed between rounds.

Cash Out:

Roll out back, butt, hamstrings, calves, quads, forearms

Firebreather Piece (Done on your own outside of class time):

3 Rounds For Time:
25 Hand-Release Push-Ups
50 Double-Unders
