WOD: Strength assessment day! Find your 1 rep max in events other than the CrossFit Total. Spend 5-10 minutes warming up and then allocate about 15 minutes per lift. Open up your shoulders with a PVC pipe, open your hips by spending some time in the squat position, get ready to get a PR.
Remember the points of performance for each movement.
- Push jerk. Follow the press points of performance with the addition of landing in the partial squat with the bar locked out directly overhead. Keep that bar traveling straight overhead, active shoulders, fast and aggressive movement throughout.
- Front squat. With the bar racked properly on the upper chest and shoulder with elbows high at all times throughout movement and a loose finger grip. Keep lumbar curve, hips below knees in the bottom of the squat, head is neutral and weight should be distributed in the heels and the knees track over the feet.
- Thrusters. Points of performance follow similarly with the front squat’s with the exception that your elbows are only slightly before the bar with a shoulder width grip, a fast, aggressive, and powerful movement to get it overhead, and active shoulders.
