This workout begins from a standing position and with the barbell on the ground, loaded to the appropriate weight. For the Shoulder to overhead to count, the barbell will move from the shoulders to the overhead position with the knees, hips and shoulders extended in one line. After the 5 reps, they will use the same barbell to perform the Deadlift. After 10 Deadlifts they will move to the box. The athlete will start with two feet on the ground and come to a standing position with knees and hips locked out on top of the box. Two-foot jumps, one-foot jumps and step-ups are all permitted.
Every rep counts in this workout. Credit will be given for partially completed rounds.

WOD:
Snatch (Full) – Find 1RM
Post highest successful weight to Comments/LogWOD
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Chad Vaughn doing a 285# Snatch.Notice as soon as he hits full extension he drops right away into his receive position. Get AGGRESSIVE here! Catching the weight in a power snatch and then lowering yourself down to the bottom of an Overhead Squat does not constitute a successful Full Snatch. Do it right, even if that means going lighter to get it right!
X-tra Work:
Snatch balance – 2.2.2.2.2
Increase weight each round.
Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Coach Burgener going over the finer points. Do these! IF you didn;t have that great of a day on Snatch, drill the crap out of these!

Post highest successful load to Comments/LogWOD
As a reminder, one repetition of the Bear Complex is: 1 Power Clean, 1 Front Squat, 1 Push Press, 1 Back Squat, 1 Back Push Press. You will go through this sequence twice each round. During these repetitions, the bar can only touch the ground when finishing the back push press to beginning the next power clean. And, when it touches, it is only a touch and go. any longer than one second will result in a no-rep. A no-rep = do it again. Note: You can combine the Front Squat and Push Press into a Thruster, as well as combine the Back Squat and Back Push Press into a Back Thruster. Remember, for the Power Clean, you have the catch in a quarter squat, and fully open hips BEFORE going into the Front Squat.

On the Overhead step ups, men RX’d is a 45# bar, women a 35# bar.
Video courtesy of Adam Richmond. For the plyo push ups, have two 45# plates just outside of shoulder distance apart. Start the push up with hands on the floor inside of the plates, go down so your chest touches the ground. Explode off the ground so your hands land on the plates. From here, you can either do another push up off the plates, landing your hands on the ground, or walk the hands back to the ground before starting next push up.
