Dawn and Brianne make the jump ropes fly.


BBG (off)
Front Squat
3-3-2-2
As with last week, the last set should not be a 2 RM - leave some left in the tank (but it should be heavier than last week's last set).


Strength/WL
Front Squat
2 x 5, 1 x 5+


Conditioning
10 min AMRAP of:
10 Burpee Step-ups, 24"/18" (alternate legs)
20 OHS, 45#/33#
30 Double-unders

Burpee Step-up: Go to the floor as if you were doing a regular burpee.  When you get back up, step up onto the box with both feet, and then back down again (e.g, right leg up, left leg up, right leg down, left leg down = 1 rep).  The leg that steps up is also the leg that steps down.  Alternate legs each burpee.


Finale
Complete 20 or 40 TTB in as few sets as possible (no more than 5 sets). Between sets, practice static handstands (i.e., not handstand walking).

Guess who's back!  Welcome back, Rowdy!


Skill
4 cycles of:
1. Handstand/HSPU
2. L-sit (on parallettes or the floor)

Spend approximately 1:30 min working on each skill/movement (so each cycle is approximately 3:00 plus transition time). Set a goal for each skill in the cycle.


Conditioning
Partner WOD
4 RFT, "Tosh" style:
5 Burpees
15 CTB Pull-ups
25 Goblet Squats, 1.5 pd/1 pd (DB equivalents: 55#/35#)

Strength/WL
Push Jerk
5-5-5-3-3-3


Conditioning
"Grace"
For time:
30 Clean and Jerks, 135#/95#

This workout has a 6:00 cap. We will do this in two separate groups; first, person A will do the workout while person B counts reps, and then person B will do the workout while person A counts reps. Any version of a clean is acceptable (power or full), and any version of shoulder-to-overhead is acceptable (push jerk, split jerk, or push press . . . or even press, but that's just ridiculous).


Finale
Partner thigh mash - 2:00/leg
