INTENTIONS:
Strength: We are getting ready for the workout today with a Max Effort set of Handstand Push Ups. You are going to have a few minutes to warm up, get some reps in, and get ready to go. Once you are ready, you gotta go, and get as many reps as possible in a row. For this one, once you can’t get any more reps, OR you come off the wall, you are done. So, dial it in during the warm up sets, and get as many reps as possible in a row!
WOD: Starting off with some cardio and strength with Running, Snatch, and Handstand Pushups. Each of the 4 rounds is going to start with a 400m Run, then, each round is going to have descending reps of 15, 12, 9, & 6. For the Run, keep a good pace, keep moving, and catch your breath as you get back into the gym to get ready for the Snatch. Once you get to the bar, it’s okay to 1 and dump the weight, just make sure to pick up the bar as soon as it stops moving, and stringing reps together in larger sets is going to help you get through this workout faster. For the Handstand Pushups, the least amount of sets for each round, and remember, you have a Run after each set, so it’s okay to push it.

DB/KB: 25-19-13

Bent over row
BW: Double Gymnastic
Push up Burpee
INTENTIONS:
Strength: YEAH SQUATS! With 3 working sets of 5 immediately followed by 3 working sets of 3, the goal is to get heavy today. If you've got a 1 Rep Max, we are looking for 85-90% (or more) of your Max for the final set. The Front Squat is a great auxiliary lift for both the Clean, just like the Overhead Squat is for the Snatch. When you are completing a 1 Rep Max of either, you need to be able to get out of the bottom of the Squat and strengthening your Front Squat is going to help that. Be sure to work on great form. Keeping your elbows up, getting just below parallel, and standing all the way up at the top. Remember to push your knees out, especially on the way up. In the Front Squat, they have a tendency to cave in as you stand up so push them out and keep them stable.
WOD: For those of you who have been doing CrossFit for a bit, you know of the workout "Fran". Well today, we've got Fran with a little twist. Instead of 21, 15, and 9 reps of Thrusters and Pull Ups, we are doing the same rep scheme with Burpee Pull Ups. On one hand, you've got the Burpee added into the movement, on the other, once you finish each Burpee, you can jump into the Pull Up, making it easier to get your chin over the bar.
Just like in the original "Fran", the whole point is to go as fast as possible until you get through all the reps. Same thing for this one, you just might need to slow it down a bit to keep a good pace and then pick it up in the last set of 9. For the Thursters, go unbroken if possible. Just no more than 3 sets at a time (3 sets of 7 on the 21s, 3 sets of 5s on the 15s, and either 3 sets of 3, 1 set of 5 & 1 of 4, or unbroken for the last set of 9). Remember, it doesn't matter how fast you get through the Thrusters if you are doing the Burpee pull Ups like a snail. So find a pace, breath, and sprint during your set of 9 reps.

12 Push Press, 115/75 lbs
9 Toes-to-bars
DB/KB: 8 Push Press (per arm)
BW: box jump: Broad jump
Toes to bar: V-up
INTENTIONS:
Strength: We are doing a complex today for our Strength with 5 working sets of 1 Shoulder (or Strict) Press and 2 Push Press. Get a couple warm up sets in to dial in the form. Your weight is always going to be limited by the Shoulder Press since you must complete that first before 2 Reps of the Push Press. By the last set, you should be close to 90-95% of your Shoulder Press 1 Rep Max before completing your 2 Push Press at the same weight.
WOD: We've got a benchmark workout today with CrossFit Open WOD 12.3. It's as many rounds as possible in 18min of 15 Box Jumps, 12 Push Press, and 9 Toes to Bar. For the Box Jumps, you can either step back or jump back, just keep moving until they are complete. If you can complete all 12 reps of the Push Press unbroken, that's going to help, however, if you need to break it up into no more than 2 sets, go for it, just make sure it's a short rest between each set. Same thing on the Toes to Bar where unbroken is best, 2 sets will work with short rest between each set. We've done this workout before and we will do it again. So be sure to check Beyond the Whiteboard to see if you have a previous score. It would be great to hear that bell ring throughout the day.

Warm Up: 3 rounds of:
10x (1 Sumo Squat + 2 Sidestep Lunges + 1 Good Morning)
20 Calf Raises
10 Straight Leg Sit-ups
1 min Mobility
Strength: Sumo Deadlift
6-6-6-6-6
DB/KB/Light: Side Lunge
4-4-4-4-4-4 (per leg)
Bodyweight: 2 Side Lunge + 2 Reverse Lunge
5-7 sets Every 2 mins
WOD: 10 min AMRAP:
30 Double Unders
15 KB Sumo Deadlift High-pulls 70/53
Scale: 45 Singles
BW: Sumo Squat jump
INTENTIONS:
Strength: Sumo Deadlift for 5 working sets of 6 reps for Thursday. A great goal for today would be getting to 85% of your 1 Rep Max for the final working set. As you get started though, get a few warm up sets to dial in your technique. As we've mentioned before, the Sumo Deadlift is a lot more forgiving on the back than a normal Deadlift. Wide stance, keep your chest up and your grip on the smooth part of the bar. This is a going to be more of a quad dominant lift, so stretch and get ready for some heavy lifts!
WOD: This 10min couplet is going to be a burner. You are working for 10minutes, and completing 30 Double Unders (or 45 Singles) and 15 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls. The Sumo High Pull is a much more explosive lift than the Sumo Deadlift. While you are starting in the same position, you are brining the weight, in this case a Kettlebell, all the way up to the collarbone. For this workout, keep a good pace and pick it up at the end. If you burn out too early, you are going to be done for the workout. After the first round, check the clock, and keep that pace until the last 2min. Then, pick it up and go all out.

3 Power Cleans 155/105

9 Air Squats
DB/KB: 6 Power cleans
BW: no push up burpee tuck jump
INTENTIONS:
Strength: Today we've got a Strength combined with Endurance in an alternating EMOM (Every Min on the Min) for 5 Rounds of each with 2 Cleans and then 100m Row Sprint. Each of these exercises should take less than 30sec (and more like 15 or 20). On the 2 Cleans, get as heavy as possible over the course of the 5 rounds. For the Row, go as fast as possible, you are going to get rest after both the Cleans and the Row.
WOD: For this workout, we are starting with a 2K Row, then, you have 10 Rounds of the "Chief", which is 3 Power Cleans, 6 Push Ups, and 9 Air Squats. Starting with the Row, find a good pace, just don't blow it out too early. The Row should take between 8 and 10 minutes, so pick it up at the end. Now normally, the Chief is a 3min AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) x 3 Rounds. The difference is that there is a 1 min Rest between each round. For Today, you need to keep a good pace for the first 6-7 Rounds, and then pick it up in the last 3-4. This one is going to be good, so go hard and HAVE FUN!!
