ANNOUNCEMENTS— Our Next On-Ramp class begins TONIGHT!! Tuesday, March 5th at 6pm. Tell your friends!

Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice
(Foam Roll & M.A.S.H. Intervals x :30, Spikeball…)
II. Mobility

**Move and Smooth Hotspots… hotspots and knots, those familiar fascial and muscular nemesis’ we know all too well are developed through aberrant habits in movement patterns. When we find these during foam rolling as trigger points or ‘hotspots’ creating a time interval to help discipline the effort we put into working them out can help overall fitness progress immensely. How to work these points through mimicking patterns of movement inherent in training is the functional lesson available to learn here. 

“Stinger”
12:00 AMRAP of
8 x Handstand Push-ups
50ft x 1-arm Overhead Walking Lunges (50/35lbs)
(25ft Right Arm + 25ft Left Arm)
8 x Burpees

25 x Toes-to-Bar
50 x Double-unders
15 x Squat Cleans (135/85lbs)
25 x Toes-to-Bar
50 x Double-unders

If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 x Toes-to-Bar
50 x Double-unders
11 x Squat Cleans (225/145lbs)
If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:

9 x Squat Cleans (275/175lb)
If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 x Toes-to-Bar
50 x Double-unders
7 x Squat Cleans (315/205lbs)

Time completes at 20 minutes.

**COMPTRAIN.COM RESOURCE VIDEO LINK FOR STRATEGY AND APPROACH TO 19.2 FOUND HERE.

NOTES: This workout begins with the athlete standing under the pull-up bar. After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will have 8 minutes to perform 25 toes-to-bars, followed by 50 double-unders and 15 squat cleans, then perform 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders and 13 squat cleans, this time at a heavier weight. If the athlete does not complete all 178 repetitions within 8 minutes, their workout is over. The athlete will stop and record their score.

If all 178 repetitions are completed within the 8-minute window, the athlete will earn an additional 4 minutes to perform another 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders and 11 squat cleans, again at a heavier weight. If all 264 repetitions (90 from round 1, plus 88 from round 2, plus 86 from round 3) are completed by the 12-minute mark, the athlete will begin another round and the time cap will be extended by an additional 4 minutes. Each round, the weight of the clean will increase while the reps of the clean decrease. Once a round is completed, the athlete may immediately begin the next round. The athlete does not need to wait for the 4-minute round to end before moving on to the next round. This pattern of earning additional time will continue for up to 20 minutes, as long as a full round is completed before the next cutoff.

This workout is over when the athlete fails to complete all the repetitions within the cutoff time for that round. The final round ends at the 20-minute mark. The athlete’s score is the number of repetitions completed up to their cutoff time.

In this workout, another person may assist the athlete in changing the plates on the barbell during the workout, or multiple barbells may be used. Collars must be placed on the outside of all the plates on any bar used during the workout.

TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each set of double-unders, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field where you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last set of double-unders. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak will be ranked higher.

If all 5 rounds are completed in under 20 minutes, your score is the total time it takes you to complete the workout.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. Do not use a countdown timer.

Then…
4 Rounds of
5 x Bar Muscle-ups
10 x Dumbbell Devil’s Press (50/35lbs)

Notes: The Devil’s Press is performed with two Dumbbells; execute a burpee on the dumbbells, upon standing utilize a counter swing similar to that of the KB back swing technique and then move the Dumbbells simultaneously overhead. Arms bent or straight during elevation movement are both permitted styles, however the end range of motion requires a stable, locked out overhead position for completion standards.

SCALING VARIATIONS
– L3(Rx+): Sets/reps performed unbroken/continuous. 30lb weight vest would be an advisable addition for those willing and able. DB Devil’s Press could be scaled up to 75/50lbs and Box Jump height increased to 30/24”.
– L2(Rx): As written with two 50/35lb Dumbbells and 24/20” Box Jumps.
– L1(Scaled): Bar Muscle-ups scales to C2B Pull-ups, Chin-over Bar, and Banded or Ring Row substitutions are all at 2:1 rep load adjustments today. There is no intended dip component for the Bar Muscle-up movement (Standby Rings Muscle-up Fans…).

Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice
II. Mobility

Impact/Focus: Turkish Get-ups
Warm up as needed before completing the following workload for 8 total rounds, climbing in weight as able.

8 Rounds of (:45 L + :45 R)

1 Round =
:45 x 1 Turkish Get-up (Left Arm)
+
:45 x 1 Turkish Get-up (Right Arm)

Notes: Kettlebells and Dumbbells are both game. Athletes should plan to increase weight as able across sets, however maintaining the same load across at given points or for entirety of the training are both valid approaches today. Athlete should be keeping in mind that today’s training follows a taxing 19.1 WOD, and mobility and comprehensive musculature functional movement should be a priority in place during warmup and regarding weight selection before engaging in efforts towards 1rm land. Challenge yourselves accordingly, but take care as there are four more weeks of exciting unknowns ahead and the programming is capable of being tailored to both recovery, training continuity and athletic development accordingly. Get some freaks.

**NOTES ON TODAY’S TRAINING EMPHASIS

I. Regarding the Impact/Focus Pause Front Squat:

– Description of the tempo for today’s Front Squats can be explained further HERE.

– Athletes should challenge themselves at each weight increase across sets, however keep in mind that this is training intended as positional development and preparation at durability under load before new max efforts and personal record opportunities present themselves within upcoming programming.

– Today is about feeling strong under the bar at challenging sets/reps; within all positions included within the Front Squat Range of Motion.

– Training emphasis is additionally relative to the pause, a lonely single little second, yet this aspect of training will tax the athlete to requires the control movement, retain stopping ability, and initiate the drive with explosive power out of the hole; the hold will assist in the ability to find ideal positioning in the bottom of the squat.

– The magic is in the movement, not the weight metric number attached.

II. Regarding the MetCon “No Ceiling”:
Scaling guidance for today is as follows.

– L3 (Rx+): Double-under sets must be completed unbroken to proceed in WOD. American KB Swings would be at 32/24kg respectively for male and female athletes. Whereas Double-unders utilize a mandatory goal of unbroken, today’s AKB Swings should be a weight selection emphasis as that which an athlete could potentially achieve each rounds workload either unbroken or with two sets of effort. GHD Sit-ups require touching both hands to the floor overhead at the ROM’s full extension.

– L2 (Rx): Standards for GHD Range of motion requires one hand to touch the deck at the ROM’s full extension position.

– L1 (Scaled): Single-unders at 1:1 repetition conversion to keep this training’s intended intensity value. GHD Sit-ups may be scaled to a no-touch, half range of motion, or ABMAT Sit-ups at 1:1 repetition conversion.

… Get some, freaks.

 

Coach Chase, we will miss you more than you or we could even know at this point. 

Your commitment, heart, sweat, tears, and effort throughout both business and friendship together has forged something I feel is a bond close as family.
