Monday 5.22
Name game: What’s your go-to dance move? (Demonstration is optional)
Warm up: 2 minute jump rope practice, then coach-led barbell
Strength: Every 1:15 for 12 sets (15 minutes)
1 snatch pull + 1 power snatch + 1 squat snatch
*Build as you go as long as you maintain good technique. Do 2 squat snatches if it gets too heavy to power. Reps do not need to be touch-and-go.
WOD: AMREPs in 9 minutes
3, 6, 9 etc.
Hang power snatch 75/55
Overhead squat 75/55
*30 double unders after each round
**You cannot squat your final snatch to get your first OHS. Stand at full extension with the last hang snatch before starting the squats.
Lifestyle: reduce weight, 30 seconds of DU attempts, 60 singles, or 6/4 bike
Cooldown: 1 min/side calf stretch, 1 min/side brettzel stretch
Objective: In the strength work we’re building on our snatch pull practice from 5/12, this time completing both a power and a squat snatch as part of the same complex. The workout is a past qualifier WOD for Wodapalooza, a major CrossFit competition held every January in Miami. It’s meant to be light and quick, so the weight you use should be one you can do for 12-15 unbroken reps of each skill.
Score: max snatch complex weight and total reps
Math: round of 6 = 78; 9 = 126; 12 = 180; 15 = 240; 18 = 306; 21 = 378
Tuesday 5.23
Name game: Do you ease your way into a cold pool or jump in quickly?
Warm up: coach-led track
WOD: 8 minutes on, 2 minutes off, for 3 rounds:
800m run
AMREPs in remaining time:
Round 1: pull-ups
Round 2: push-ups
Round 3: burpees
**Rx+ wear a 20/14 vest
Lifestyle: ring rows, box push-ups, straight-arm burpees. Injury scale: 50/35 bike.
Cooldown: 2 minute walk/jog then 1 min/side chest stretch on rig, 1 min/side banded lat stretch
Accessory (optional): 3-5 rounds for quality
10/10 DB seesaw press
10/10 DB bent over rows
Objective: Murph is next Monday! This is one final opportunity to get a feel for wearing a vest, if that’s your goal for this year, and to practice running and bigger sets of pull-ups and push-ups. Everyone should try to run the full 800m in each interval. Scale the pull-ups and push-ups in the same way you plan to modify them for Murph, then go hard on the burpees in the final interval.
Score: slowest 800m (record 3 times in SugarWOD) and total pull-ups + push-ups + burpees

Cooldown: 2 minute easy bike/row, 1 minute cobra stretch, 1 minute forearm stretch
Objective: This workout pairs two leg-driven movements that will get your heart rate up with two gymnastics skills that will tax your lats and core. Like all workouts we do in this style, try to set a target for each skill that you can hit for all 5 rounds. Try not to let the scoreboard dictate your strategy — don’t sandbag one skill to maximize your reps on another.
Score: total reps (max is 375/350)

Aim to keep the thrusters as unbroken as possible and minimize rest time on the wall walks.
Score: thruster weights & time to complete
