Thruster
This is a standard barbell thruster in which the barbell moves from the bottom of a front squat to full lock out overhead. The bar starts on the ground. No racks allowed. The hip crease must pass below the knees. A full squat clean into the thruster is allowed if the bar is on the ground. The barbell must come to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the heels.
Chest to bar pull-up
This is a standard chest to bar pull-up. Dead-hang, kipping or butterfly pull-ups are all allowed as long as all the requirements are met. The arms must be fully extended at the bottom. At the top, the chest must clearly come into contact with the bar. For masters women (55+), touching the chest is not required, but the chin must break the horizontal plane of the bar.

squat, overhead press, power production, internal hip rotation fix, wrist pain

tightening the kip, working the butterfly, efficiency
This video has been posted before, but due to the nature of this games workout, I thought it a good idea to put it up again as a refresher!

5 Power cleans 145/100
10 Toes to bar
15 Wall balls, 20lbs to 10′ target/14lbs to 9′ target
Power clean
This is a standard Power clean from the ground to the shoulders. The barbell begins on the ground. Touch and go is permitted. No bouncing. The barbell must come up to the shoulders, with the hips and knees fully extended and the elbows in front of the bar.
Toes to bar
In the Toes to bar, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes touch the pull-up bar. The arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom and the the feet must be brought back to behind the bar, not out front. Both feet must touch the bar together at some point. The arms can be bent or straight.
Wallball
In the Wall ball, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below knee, and thrown to hit the specified target. Using an additional ball, box or other object to check for proper depth is not allowed. If the ball is not caught between reps, it must come to a full stop on the ground. Bouncing the ball off the floor is not permitted. The center of the ball must hit the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall it is no rep.
Games Prep
Tomorrow we’re doing games workout 5, so today we are prepping up for it. Skills sessions and mobility will last the entire WOD. Even if you don’t usually come on thursday’s, today would be a good day to get in!
Skills
Cleans: differentiation between first and second pull, explosive power, body alignment during the “catch”
Toes to bar: how do you do it? scaling options
