WOD:

1a) 0:00 – 7:00 – 7 minute AMRAP:

10 Alternating Squat Hold w/Reach Overhead

10 Alternating Shoulder Plank Taps

10 Alternating Bird Dogs

10 Wall Balls

Get some blood flowing and your positions opened up.

1b) 12:00 – 33:00 – Every 1:00 x 21 sets:

Sets 1-7 (12:00 – 19:00) – 3 Jerk Balance

Sets 8-14 (19:00 – 26:00) – 2 Halting Split Jerk 

Sets 15-21 (26:00 – 33:00) – 1 Split Jerk

Jerk Balance keep the weight light, really use this as a time to focus on positioning and your footwork. For the Halting Jerks move to light-to-moderate loads. Again focus on good positioning, hold the bottom of the dip for 1-2 seconds each rep. For the Split Jerk singles approach as deemed fit. If you’re focused on your performance in the Open we encourage you do not max out and work only to the limits of your technique keeping the lifts clean.

1c) 35:00 – 45:00 – Every 1:00 x 10 sets:

Station 1 – 15 Thrusters 95/65

Station 2 – 18/15 Calories Ski/Bike/Row

Loading for the Thrusters should allow you to go unbroken on all sets. If you’re on an Assault Bike change the calories to 15/12. If your focused on maximizing your performance in the Open sets your reps/loads for this piece so it is around an 80% effort, don’t try and crush your self…a good indicator of proper intensity would be that you could continue performing this for an additional 3-5 rounds if you had to.
