Warm up:
run 800 meters
mobility
burgener warm up
25 burpees

 

Specific Warm up:

power clean sets of 5, working up to 75% 1RM
In between each set complete 5 toes to bar

 

WOD:

25 power clean + front squats @ 75% power clean 1RM

Every time the bar does not “touch and go” complete:

  • 10 toes to bar
  • 15 wall ball, 20/14
 - If all reps are completed in 1 set, rest as needed then run 1600 meters for time

 

“Touch and Go” clarification – This means the bar must touch the ground for the shortest of margins of time…somewhere along the lines of a tenth of a second.  The bar may not be dropped and picked back up, you can’t set the bar on the ground to reposition.  ANY amount of time the bar rests on the ground will require the extra reps.  Athletes may hold the bar in the rack position for any amount of time they please without penalty.

My favorite Shoulder Fix.

This video has been posted before, but I have yet to see anyone in the gym aside from one or two people whom I’ve specifically spoken to actually work on their internal rotation.  Today is rotation day…grab a friend and smash your shoulders.  Here is how important K-Star thinks this is…

“Today’s episode is really an homage to what I have come to believe to be the largest shoulder problem out there–missing internal rotation.  You should have full range of motion in your joints true.  But you can probably miss a little extension or flexion and still set a few world records.  However, if you end up missing the rotation capacity of your shoulder, well, then you are going to end up with poor positioning and a poor capacity to generate stability in the shoulder joint.  You see, if you are missing rotation, you will have to compensate to achieve position.  This compensation will leave you in a very inefficient position in which to generate torque.  It’s like you end up using your rotation slack pocket money on condiments, and you don’t have enough left over for the main course.  We’ve got three videos for you today.  The first is my absolute favorite way to reclaim that missing IR.  It requires a Voodoo Floss band which you can pick up at Roguefitness.com. The second video is me demonstrating on Jesse Burdick ofPowerwod.com,  that you can in fact have Normal range of motion and still be strong.  The final video is a world record mwod attempt.  It’s a mob mob smash party at the Reebok Crossfit Games.  (Smash Mob?) We are working on IR as a group, with no equipment.

Fix your IR.  Yesterday.  Because if I see you out in the world with missing IR, it’s going to be like that scene in Fight Club where he takes the guy’s drivers license and tells him to get his life in order.  Or else.”

You can catch the other two videos by visiting mobilitywod.com

This is a great video today.  I’ve posted things in the past that require us to have a super friend while doing mobility, yet I never see it in the gym.  We’re all friends!  Ask a buddy, coach or even your kid if you bring them along to help you out and be a mobility super friend!!  Let’s do some mobility that actually causes change today!!
