Coach's Notes. Standard start times of 0545, 0630, 0800. Warm up prior and be ready to 3, 2, 1...Go!
WOD: You new this was coming... Med Ball cleans were introduced in the skill portion to reinforce the mechanics and consistency of the movement. Now it is time to add intensity without sacrificing the form. THIS WOD IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE JUDGES. Most athletes will FAIL to reach full hip extension after the 10th rep in order to go faster. Partner up and train your eyes. Not a requirement, just a suggestion. Use the run as active recovery, except for the last one...try and burn out on your way in.
Refresher on the Medicine Ball Clean from Crossfit Training Guide
- Feet are shoulder width apart or slightly wider
- Weight in heels
- Back arched/lumbar curve locked in
- Shoulders are over the ball
- Ball is between the legs with clearance for the arms
- Arms straight, palms on outside of ball, fingertips pointed down
Skill Work: Ring Dips Ensure that your shoulder touches the rings at the bottom of each rep while also ensuring you achieve full lock out at the top.
Scaling the Skill: Add some weight to make it more challenging. Practice kipping or use a band to assist you through all 25 reps.
