Champlain Valley CrossFit: Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

WOD: 1) Split Jerk: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 For this we are looking for you to max out and find your 1RM Split Jerk. Rest should not be more than 2 minutes between sets. All 7 sets should be heavy, try to keep them all within 80% of your 1RM. If you hit your max early on taper off a little and build some heavy volume into the movement to finish. Probably the biggest fault we see in any Shoulder-to-Overhead is that torso position, make sure you guys concentrate on it tomorrow 2) 3 rounds AQAP: 20 Toes-to-bar 20 Shoulder-to-Overhead 135/95 Competitors: 3) Run: 4 x 400m These should be max effort runs.

Important to remember strength does not mean it needs to be a weighted movement. Make sure you are consistent with your reps on every minute, don’t start to aggressively and bomb out.
