Post time to comments.


Coach's Notes. (standard start times of 0545, 0630, and 0700, warm up prior and be ready to "3, 2, 1...Go" at these times)

UPDATE -- Post-WOD, do some light skill work on clean technique using a combination of med balls, PVC, and  empty barbells.  Focus on achieving that aggressive triple extension (ankles/knees/hips) on the second pull, fast elbows, and receiving the bar in a good rack position.  Just a suggestion...not saying we're going to do any cleans any time soon.  Spend some time on mobility/mashing centered on the hips and quads, calves if they're tight from all dem DUs.

Jumping ring dips...sound easy?  You won't feel cheated, especially after a few rounds of goblet squats. Adjust rings just under chest height, so you can hit the bottom of the dip position with your feet on the floor in a quarter squat. Impart a little momentum with a jump, and press out to full extension in a powerful lockout position (external rotation of the hands).

A goblet squat is essentially a front squat using a KB or DB in place of a barbell.  The challenge is that you can't "rack" it and get elbows high.  So, you really have to activate your core to maintain a upper good position. Use a KB and grab it by the horns or base, or use a DB and grab it by one end.  Go get it!

REMINDER -- Coaches' Clinic today (Tue) at 0600.  Get your WOD in before or after.  Bring your trainer's guides, for more info on what they're all about see Sunday's info post.
