For pause back squat, pause for 3 seconds in the bottom of each squat. It should be a solid 3 seconds once you’ve reached the bottom of your squat. If you need mobility work for your squat, this is a great way to get some forced mobility! The weight for the AMRAP should be a...Read More
A power lift and a high skill movement make up today’s WOD. Deadlifts should be heavy, but not really max unless you’re feeling good. It’s meant to get a heavy pull in this week (they should not be 5 heavy singles) since we’ve been doing a lot of pushing and squatting. 30 muscle-ups for time...Read More
Use the beginning of class to find a new 1 rep max bench press. Bar should be locked out at the top, then descend and touch your chest, then back up to a lockout for it to count. Normally we try to vary movements in a metcon and even have those movements complement each other,...Read More
Today you get to choose the movements from certain categories, so think about what you want to do before coming in. For A, you should do work for 40 seconds. For B and C, it should be about 30 seconds of work, but it will be dependent on what you do. (e.g. 15 pull-ups per...Read More

You will need to take it from a single rack with a single bar. Immediately following the 10 minutes of strength, you...Read More
Last week we found our 1RM clean and jerk – today we find our 1RM snatch! Find your max squat snatch and if you happen to have a better power snatch, do that, but note it in Wodify. The metcon is actually 3 mini WODs. Each one you will have 3 minutes to row 300m...Read More
Let’s give the barbell a break and get some gymnastics and grunt work in. Scale toes-to-bar with limited ROM or V-ups. Scale push-ups by leaning on an elevated surface – this preserves the body position of a full push-up while assisting with the amount of weight you need to move. If you need to reduce...Read More
