Package 2:

Overview of 4/22-4/28
4/22
A1. 7-9 Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift @31X0 x 3-5 Sets A2. 3 Push Press x 3-5 Sets
B. AMRAP 7:
8 Hang Power Cleans (115/75) 16 V-Ups
Focus: We are starting our second wave of the DB RDL/PP. Ideally, athletes will go a little heavier than they did 3 weeks ago. Last time on the push press we focused on keeping the heels down as long as possible. This time we continue with the foot theme and focus on keeping a strong whole foot on the ground. So initiating with toes splayed out grabbing the ground creating a strong arch in the foot which they can balance and drive through the heels with. We still want to ensure a proper hinge pattern (this might mean less range of motion). In the wod, we are touching the other end of the spectrum with explosiveness on the hang power cleans and midline work in a setting that won’t beat up the hands/shoulders for tomorrow’s bar muscle ups.

Class Flow: You could have 4 people sharing the same AB (A,B,C,D) A: BMU/Burp -> REST -> DU/AB -> Rest
B. REST -> DU/AB -> Rest -> BMU/Burp
C. DU/AB -> Rest -> BMU/Burp -> Rest
D. Rest -> BMU/Burp -> Rest -> DU/AB
Focus: Aerobic session with a higher skill buy in. The WOD will take 29 minutes and this will allow some teaching of the higher skill movements in. The the goal is the BMU/DUs take about 30 seconds. So have athletes adjust volume/movement to facilitate that target time domain as the goal of this session is for it to be aerobic.

"Jack"
Army Staff Sgt. Jack M. Martin III, 26, of Bethany, Oklahoma, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, Fort Lewis, Wash., died September 29th, 2009, in Jolo Island, Philippines, from the detonation of an improvised explosive device. Martin is survived by his wife Ashley Martin, his parents Jack and Cheryl Martin, and siblings Abe, Mandi, Amber and Abi
AMRAP 20:
10 Push Press (115/75) 10 KB Swings (53/35) 10 Box Jumps (24/20)
Focus: Classic CrossFit “fun” as well as a day to dig a little deeper. 20 minutes is a longer time. It will be a day to work on some mental toughness and use the memory of Jack and that it is a hero workout as a chance to push a little harder.
We will also use the warm-up to to work on foot strength as they play the foundation of bounding mechanics.
I’d recommend step downs due to the jumping demands and longer time domain. Feel free to make them box jump step downs for your class.

Eccentrics, Isometrics, and short holds with contraction have been shown to be effective while maintaining connective tissue
(Note, the trade-off of connective tissue and muscle length for a better position is another conversation.)

4/25
A1. 7-9 Back Squats @31X0 x 3-5 Sets A2. 3 Weighted Pull-Up x 3-5 Sets
B. 3 Rounds:
100m Suitcase Carry (53/35) (50m each)
20 Alternating Reverse Lunges Goblet Lunges (53/35) 40ft Renegade Row Crawl (35s/20s) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd1pfm89e-w
Focus: Again with the tempo we are focusing on technique, with the back squat, the initiation requires a bit more of a lean than in the front squat. With this, make sure athletes maintain a neutral hip in this initiation vs arching the low back to initiate. The reps on the pullup have gone down and should be heavier than 3 weeks ago. In the WOD, this is more or less just accessory work in a slight aerobic setting. On the carry and crawl, prioritize position over speed (as one should always do).
Warm-Up:

250m Row *increase pace each round

4/26
A. Accumulate 10-12 Strict Muscle Ups
-or- Strict Muscle Up Negatives
-or- Feet Assisted Low Ring Strict Muscle Up Negatives
B. 21-15-9 (9 Min Cap) Ring Dips
Deadlift (225/155)
Focus: Working on the skill/strength of a strict muscle up. A key component of both is false grip. False grip has a strength component with cranking the wrist as well as a comfort component. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C2c7ESHXpY in the video you’ll notice is more the base of the palm that sits on top of the rings. The deadlift load should be able to be done near unbroken and the dips should be chipped through well enough (5+ on set size).
Scaling: Ring push-ups are a fantastic scale for ring dips, they change loading to ~75% of bodyweight and preserve the stimulus of stability and position, further, they can walk the rings forward (keeping them long) to an angle in which they can perform the ring push-up
Warm-Up:
2 Rounds:
20-30 ft Ostrich Walk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KvRryftNyY

20-30 ft Crab Walk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwcbm93mM-o

**On the negative - when going from the bottom of the dip to the top of the pull-up, have the mindset of “pulling” to the top of a pull-up rather than falling back
