I. Run 400m
II. Dynamic Mobility
Lateral Duck Walk (L+R)
Pike Walk
Spiderman Lunges
Lateral Lunges (L+R)
III. Mobility & Yoga Poses

*Extra Credit Overhead Mobility Efforts for the week = Foam Rolling Lats, Posterior Shoulders, Scaps, and relative additional drills. Intended for long term benefit as well as for immediate impact on today’s Pull-ups & tomorrow’s Handstand Push-ups.

Impact/Focus: Back Squat 5-4-3-2-1

10-8-6 rep sets of Air Squat Therapy buy in.
Warm-up as necessary before working through the following sets/reps every 2:00 minutes. Climb weight as able, referencing 1 and 3 rep records from the training linked below in the notes section.

Every 2:00 complete the following workload

Back Squat 5-4-3-2-1
(climb weight as able across sets)

Notes:

• Training Links for a recent 1 rep record may be found HERE 08.10.2020, or a 3 rep record found HERE 08.10.2020.
• Attempt to match (+/-10%) or exceed these numbers today as able. Keep in mind having a governor on pushing heavy loads with consideration to the Benchmark “Diane” approaching tomorrow.

“Chelsea-ish”
15:00 total working time.

Select from the following options of
On the 1 minute (15 Rounds),
On the 2 minutes (10 Rounds),
or On the 3 minutes (5 Rounds)
and complete the task shown below on the intervals chosen.

5 x Pull-ups
10 x Push-ups
15 x Air Squats

Notes:

• Pacing for consistent work output and refining/improving the three gymnastic movements incorporated into training today is intended more than redlining the engine in this metcon.
• Scaling the workload to 3-6-9 reps respectively is another approach to modifying today’s training
• This is a teaser benchmark based on the full version of “Chelsea” that runs every minute for 30 minutes with the same rep scheme; just wanted to share some spoiler hints for untapped ‘fun’ in the future. Our new stock of pull-up assisted bands are ready to rock in establishing Pull-up scaling standards and baselines for progress intended in the following weeks.
• Welcome back, ninjas!

10 Rounds for time of

A. 3 x Bar or Ring Muscle-ups
B. # reps x Ground-to-Overhead (totals: 4050/2850 lbs)

• Ground-to-Overhead goal weight accomplished before time cap is 4050lbs for men and 2850 for women.
• Example: 115lbs Ground-to-Overhead for men would be 36 reps partitioned across all ten rounds as the team tactically navigates today’s training.

Impact/Focus: Push Press 5×2 + 5×1
Warm-up as needed before completing the following 10 Rounds of Push Press on the :75. The first five Rounds are at 2 x Push Press, climbing weight as able to set-up an ideal progression towards a single rep record. The final five rounds of :75 intervals will climb weight at 1 x Push Press per lift.

5 Rounds on the 75 seconds of
2-2-2-2-2 x Push Press (climb weight)

5 Rounds on the 75 seconds of
1-1-1-1-1RM x Push Press (climb weight)

Notes:

• Points of performance across the sets of 2 reps is to build weight tactically and efficiency towards the sets of 1 while using the multiple reps to develop ideal positioning in the dip from the start of the set through the re-racked rep.
• Emphasis is overall focused on power and efficiency from the dip and drive part of the lift.
• Build to a heavy one rep record for today once working through the single rep sets.

Complete as many reps as possible per work interval, scoring total points across all movements and rounds (FGB! style).

Notes:

• Adjust load on the Russian KB Swings as needed (Heavier or Lighter…).
• Toes-to-Bar may be subbed to Hanging Knee Raises or V-ups/Tuck-ups as needed.
• Ring Dips may be substituted as Push-ups, however this is a solid opportunity to sharpen this movement before we test “Elizabeth” on Monday. Deciding this today could either prioritize movement development or work output, discretion pending.
