*1st Annual CVCF Team Intramural Open HERE WOD: 1a) 0:00 – 7:00 – Every 1:00 x 7 sets: 3 Hang Snatch High-Pull Start around 50% of your 1RM. Focus for this is positioning work. One of the single biggest faults we see with people Snatching is lack of elbow/arm engagement to keep the bar close as they transition into the pull under the bar. Use this to warm-up and get some positioning engrained. 1b) 7:00 – 14:00 – Every 1:00 x 7 sets:  1 Hang Muscle Snatch + 1 Snatch Balance + 1 Overhead Squat Continue to build loading from Part A.

1st Annual CVCF Team Intramural Open

In this past year we’ve seen quite the shake-up in the competitive CrossFit world. With everything changing and very little direction given to us by CrossFit HQ, we opted to sit out the Open this past winter, as it seemed like the right time to take a break from it to see where things would go.

WOD: 1) Every 3:00 x 7 sets: 3 Banded Back Squats @ 40% of 1RM + Band Tension + 5 Air Squat to Box Jump + 20 second Sprint on C2 Bike or Assault Bike We will be working in partners or even groups of three  for this to share gear. Ideally we are looking to do this on the C2 Bike, standing, with the Damper at 10. If we’re short on C2 bikes for the class use an assault bike. Loading should not change on the Back Squat for all 7 sets, keep it fixed. Goal for the Back Squat is to work on standing up with maximal speed. Transition immediately to the plyometric movement, and then immediately to the bike. Banded Back Squats will be done with a single pin at the bottom of the rig, band attached from pin to barbell….
