Derek is killing his Rope Climbs during Open Gym on Thursday!

WOD

“Sasquatch”
Teams of 3:
For Time (30 Minute Time Cap):
250 Clean and Jerks

*On the 0:00, 5:00, 10:00, 15:00, 20:00:
45/30 Calorie Row
30 Toes to Bar

Weight Climbs Every 50 Reps:
Weight 1: 95/65
Weight 2: 115/80
Weight 3: 135/95
Weight 4: 155/105
Weight 5: 185/135

Athletes will find teams of 3 for this triplet workout. The goal is to complete 250 clean and jerks at climbing weights within a 30 minute time cap. The workout is either for time, or as many reps as possible in 30 minutes. Add a second for every rep not complete. For example, 200 clean and jerks would be scored as 30:50.

Teams will use one bar, changing weights after every 50 reps. If athletes are not using the same weights, it is ok to have multiple barbells per team. The weights should be something that athletes are capable of completing at least 25,20,15,10, and 5 clean and jerks unbroken respectively when fresh. There are speed bumps to completing these clean and jerks. On the 0:00, 5:00, 10:00, 15:00, and 20:00 marks, teams will complete 45/30 calorie row and 30 toes to bar, breaking those reps up however they see fit.

Teams of two guys and one girl will complete 40 calories and teams of 2 girls and 1 guy will complete 35 calories. If in teams of two, complete 175 clean and jerks, changing weight every 35 reps. Reps there will be 30/20 on the row and 20 toes to bar. Row cals will be 25 calories for a guy/girl team of two.

WOD

“Big Clean Complex”
Compare to 5/10/17
6 Sets of the Following Complex:
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Press
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Jerk
High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Split Jerk
*Goal is to build in weight each set

Recipe for a great workout: one part strength, one part cardio, one part technique. Big Clean Complex blurs the line between strength training, cardio, and proper mechanics. This holds true to Greg Glassman’s quote, “Blur the distinction between strength training and metabolic conditioning for the simple reason that nature’s challenges are typically blind to the distinction.”

“I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.”
