THURSDAY WORKOUT

Skill Practice & Mobility 10 - 15 Minutes:
Muscle Up - Go through progressions, working from the floor, and with bands. If you don't have Muscle Ups yet, try Strict Banded Muscle Ups during your skill work, to see if it's something you can do during the workout.
Overhead Squat - Mobilize and focus on good positioning


Then…


Open Workout 11.4
As Many Rounds As Possible in 10 Minutes:

60 Bar Facing Burpees
30 Overhead Squats (120/90)
10 Muscle Ups

*The Bar Facing Burpees must be done facing the barbell, and you must jump over the barbell with both feet, landing with both feet at the same time. One footed jumping, or stepping over isn't allowed unless you have a legitimate reason (health reason). Try to get as far as you can for this one, you might just see something like it pop up during the Open this year. If you get through the Muscle Ups, start in on your second round of Bar Facing Burpees… every rep counts, so if you get more than 1 round, you get more points. If you need to scale, make sure you're still making it challenging for yourself.

**Scaling Options**
Reps - 50/25/8 OR 40/20/6
Weight - 105/75 OR 95/65 (These are recommendations, if you can't do the RX weight)
Strict Banded Muscle Ups

MONDAY WORKOUT

We always try to program in some mobility for you during the warmup, but we would like to encourage you to come in a few minutes early and staying a few minutes after each workout to address specific areas you may be having trouble with. If you need help with ideas for how to address any problem areas you have, let us know and we'll be sure to give you some extra "homework" you can do either at the gym, or at home… preferably both.

Mobility 15 Minutes:

Floss Band - Quads/Hamstrings & Calves
Lacrosse Ball - Hips & Shoulders


Then…

5 Times Through, taking 2 Minutes per set of Squats (30 Minutes Total)

5 Overhead Squats @ 70%
10 Front Squats (use the same weight as OH Squat)
15 Back Squats (use the same weight as OH Squat)

*Increase the weight on your set of Overhead Squats by 5 - 10lbs each time through. If you're feeling super sore, start your percentage a little lower (60%), and make smaller increases on your weight. If these movements look familiar… you may have seen them recently.

MONDAY WORKOUT

Snatch Work

Using between 5 - 8 sets, progressively work up to a Max for:

*These two movements will be your set, and you may not change the weight between movements, you must go from the Hang Squat Snatch, directly into the Full Squat Snatch. However, you may drop the barbell between movements so you may reset, then perform your second lift. Rest 2 - 3 minutes between sets.


Then...

6 Snatch Grip Deadlifts (135/95)
4 Hang Power Snatch (135/95)
