Workout Goals:  This strength progression is a good progression to feel what its like to warm up to heavy quickly.  If you have a PR, take it.  But if it's not there, don't worry about it.  You only get 1 set at 1 rep and the goal is to get heavy before dropping down in weight for the WOD.

For the WOD, the goal is to finish under 20:00 (the workout is capped at 20 min).  So choose a weight that will allow you to keep at the least a 4 min pace for the 5 rounds

When doing any overhead movement, remember to complete the range of motion by shrugging the shoulders and retracting them back.

SWOD: Overhead Squat- Work up to a heavy single, but not a max.   
Metcon: “ Nancy ”
5 rounds:
-400 m Run
-15 Overhead Squat @ 95/ 65#

Use the SWOD time to really practice your Overhead Squat position.  For the metcon, we last did this workout on 08.13.10.  Try to beat that time if you recorded it.

This week we will hit 5 Girl Benchmark Workouts and Murph!

Friday 8.13.10

This type of depth is not necessarily needed during overhead squats, but you should look to get below parallel. The facial expression, however, is required!

SWOD:
Overhead Squat 5rm. Compare to 3.08.10.

Metcon:
"Nancy" Compare to 3.12.10.
5 Rounds for time of:
- 400m Run
- 15 Overhead Squats (95/65)

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, if you know your 5rm, do a good warm up and then go for a new 5rm. If you don't know it, do sets of 5 adding weight each set until you can no longer get 5 reps. Click the link above to find out what you did last time. If you click it and don't find your name, make sure you comment on today's WOD so next time you click the "Compare To" link, you'll find a weight to beat!

For the metcon, snatch the weight into place for the overhead squats. Try and use the rx'd weight, but if you can't, use 50% of your 5rm weight. But again, you have to be able to snatch or power snatch the weight up first. Click the link above to compare to your last time we did Nancy. If you don't have a time recorded, see the above advice!

Friday 3.12.10

Sorry, guys! Another day of training all day with no computer means another late post!

SWOD:
Push Press 3rm. Compare to 2.19.10.
*AND*
Chin Up practice in between sets

Metcon:
"Nancy"
5 Rounds for time of:
-400m Run
-15 Overhead Squats (95/65)

WOD Tips:
For the SWOD, the shoulder press is with no leg drive. Work on chin ups, weighted chin ups, or negative chin ups in between sets of presses.

For the metcon, do full range of motion squats! Use a medicine ball or box for depth uniformity if you have to. Don't sacrifice form for a fast time. Remember active shoulders and traps!
