Tuesday 3.02.10

The finishing position of an overhead press. Notice how her ears are past her arms as she puts her head through the "hole".

As a reminder, the 9am class will be moved to 9:30 am every day but Saturday. Saturday will remain at 9am.

SWOD:
Shoulder Press 5rm. Compare weights to 2.02.10 and try to beat it by at least 5 lbs!
AND
Practice Pull Ups in between sets. If you can do pull ups easily, do weighted pull ups. If you can get a few pull ups, work on max sets of pull ups. If you can't yet do pull ups, work on the most difficult pull ups progression for you.

Metcon:
4 sets of "The Bear" with 1:00 rest
One rep of "The Bear" is:
-1 Power Clean
-1 Front Squat
-1 Push Press
-1 Back Squat
-1 Push Press Behind the Neck

If you use 155 (men)/95 (women) do 5 reps per set.
If you use 135/80 do 6 reps per set.
If you use 95/65 do 7 reps per set.
If you use 65/50 do 8 reps per set.
If you use 45/35 do 9 reps per set.

You are not allowed to put the bar down during the set (touching the ground before each power clean is okay). The penalty is 1 burpee box jump for every unauthorized bar drop. All penalties will be assessed at the end of all four sets of The Bear, not during the rest periods.

Your time is the total time for all sets of The Bear, including rest periods and penalties.

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, this is a strict press like we did in The Compound Total. No leg drive, no knee bend. Work on the hardest version of pull ups for you in between sets of presses, with the goal being to work toward a real pull up, or to increase our strength in the weighted pull up.

For the metcon, choose the weight you can handle, understanding that the lighter the weight you choose, the more reps you will do!

Post weights, times, and number of penalties to the comments section. Let's all post our WOD times so we can build our community and motivate each other! bc
