December 2 - 7

Monday

Brief
Today we are hitting 2 squat cleans every 90 seconds for 6 sets. You can build in weight over these 6 sets.
The metcon is a 10min EMOM. You will perform 3 pause thrusters every minute for 10 sets. The pause thruster means you will clean the bar from the floor and then perform a 2 second pause in the bottom of each squat and a 2 second pause with the bar overhead each rep. Go heavier in weight than 2 weeks ago.

Warm Up

3 rounds exercise by exercise with partner:
4 alt SB clean to shoulder
4 SB bear-hug squat
perform 4 alt reverse lunges while waiting for partner

Tuesday

Brief
Why do we love Animal Flow and Primal Crawls so much? To build mobility and stability, particularly through the shoulders and hips. To explore and be strong in different ranges-of-motion and positions. To play, which is great for coordination, creativity and stress relief.
This is the third week of this 4 week cycle. The exercise today is a bench press. 4 sets of 7 reps. We will add a rep each week and keep the weight constant. You will grab a bench or alternatively set up 2 plates with a mat on top. For the bench press, we would like to pause on our t-shirt for 1 second each rep before drving up. This helps build the bottom range strength of our press and also helps us feel the pec muscles working more effectively. DO NOT BOUNCE off the chest. We will superset with a ring pullup. 4 consisent submax sets on the pullups. We will add 1 rep each week or at least 1 rep to the final set. If you cannot perform ring pullups please perform strict banded bar pullups.
The metcon is an upper body based EMOM. Aim for sustainable calories each of the 5 rounds.

Wednesday

Brief
This is the third week of this 4 week cycle. The exercise is the box squat. 4 sets of 7 reps. We will add a rep each week and keep the weight constant. use the very low boxes or alternatively set up a stack of plates as the box. The box should be at the parallel point in your squat. Make sure you CONTROL down to the box. Do not crash your butt on the box. If you are crashing down, the weight is most likely too heavy. Also be sure to keep your midline braced throughout the lift and use the drive from your hips (glutes, hamstrings, adductors). DO NOT extend your spine at the top of the lift. Also take a wider stance than usual in your squat to allow you to control down to the box and to recruit your posterior chain effectively. The Box squat is a fantastic exercise if done correctly, or an awful exercise if done incorrectly. Proper tecnhique before load.
The metcon is a for-time WOD.
If class finishes early perform the Extras, Mobility and Breathing Work.
