Coach's Notes. Standard start times of 0545, 0630,1030. Warm up prior and be ready to 3, 2, 1...Go!

WOD: Which Angie Are You?!?!!?  "Good Angie" is all gymnastic work while “Bad Angie” incorporates a light weight lifting component.  One is no better than the other...depending on your intensity.  Both WODS will test your ability to achieve and maintain posterior chain engagement, active shoulders, mid line stability, active shoulders, and full range of motion.  Do not allow speed to compromise your FUNdamentals...

Scaling: Substitute Pull Ups for CTB Pull Ups at 2:1.  Continue to scale down to banded or jumping pull ups, or ring rows if necessary.  Kipping is authorized and highly encouraged.  Scale the Handstand Push Ups by using a box to reduce the load on the shoulders. Never reduce the range of motion on the GHD Sit up.  Break up the reps or substitute with Abmat sit ups.  You can always reduce the Thruster weight as well.  However...if you find yourself scaling every Bad Angie movement, consider Good Angie, they are both really mean ladies...

Skill: Medicine Ball Cleans???  Remember that movement you did at On-Ramp and haven't done since, ya that one.  Remember the points of performance: hips reach full extension, shrug initiated before the arms pull, the ball is caught in the squat position, and stand.  The movement is fast, aggressive, and translates to bar work by reinforcing hip extension, aggressive transition, and fast elbows.
