–Coaches Notes–
You will complete this workout just like the song the “12 Days of Christmas,” You’ll complete each exercise in ascending order then work back down to 1, adding one exercise per round. Like this: 1, then 2-1, then 3-2-1, then 4-3-2-1, etc. – all the way to 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Not everyone will set up their own bar/equipment we will plan the layout according to how many people come in for class. IF YOU ARE IN A BUSY CLASS PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR SURRUNDINGS, there is a lot going on with this wod.

Warm-Up

2:00 Cardio Choice

–
:30/:30 Quadruped Adductor Hip Rock 
:30 Down Dog Calf Stretch
:30/:30 Active Pigeon Stretch (5 sec Pause in Stretch)
:30/:30 Couch Stretch

-2 Sets
10 Pause Glute Bridges (2sec)
:30 sec Dead-Bug Alternating Heel Taps
:30 sec Alternating Bird-Dogs
10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
10 Goblet Squats

Strength / Weightlifting
Every 2:00 x 5 Sets
5 Back Squats

Set 1: @ 70%
Set 2: @ 75%
Set 3: @ 75%
Set 4: @ 80%
Set 5: @ 80%

The focus here will be to progress loads from the weights we did in week 1. We should still be able to accomplish another 2-3 reps if we needed to on our final set of 5, but this should start to get challenging based on the loading and volume.

For Reps:
15:00 AMRAP
10 Wall Walk
30 Dual Dumbbell Squats
120 Double Unders
*After (if) you finish 3 rounds, the 10 wall walks become a 100ft/30m Handstand Walk each time.

Dumbbells: 2×50/35lbs (22.5/16kg)
*You may hold the dumbbells on the shoulders however you see fit today.

Level 2:
For Reps:
15:00 AMRAP
8 Wall Walk
24 Dual Dumbbell Squats
80 Double Unders
Dumbbells: 2×35/25lb, 12/7kg

Level 1:
For Reps:
15:00 AMRAP
6 Wall Walk to 20’’ off the wall
24 Goblet Squats
120 Single Unders
Dumbbell: 2×35/25lb, 12/7kg

Goals / Stimulus / Objectives

Goal: 2.5-4 Rounds
Score: Rounds & Reps

Stimulus: Interference / Muscular Endurance
RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Consistency is King
Secondary Objective: Aggressive Approach to Wall Walks

Today will demand consistency with pretty dense sets of each movement. Each set of wall walks will be a longer, monotonous grind here so make sure we focus on executing each rep efficiently, and keeping pace consistent within a set. The dumbbell squats will ask our higher level athletes to go unbroken at a steady cadence, while many will look to get through these in 2-3 sets. The jump rope is a big enough set that consistency will be a separator here, and your ability to not overtax the shoulders leading into the wall walks will be key. Once you complete 3 rounds of 10/30/120, the wall walks will be changed to the high skill handstand walk, allowing a showcase (and demand) of skill under fatigue.

Note for scoring purposes, that in the 4th round and beyond, the 100ft HSW is 20 reps (1 rep per 5ft section).

Goals / Stimulus / Objectives

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Volume

RPE: 7/10

Primary Objective: Complete each movement(s) in the minute. 

Secondary Objective: Obtain 10+ seconds rest for each minute during the EMOM 

Move at a pace that feels conservative to start this one off as the intensity builds as volume accumulates. Really work to stay at a steady effort with the overall RPE at around 7/10 on this one. We should be able to maintain a controlled clip here for the duration and just have enough time to complete the machines, whereas the upper body movements should allow for a little more rest within the minute.

4 minute machine

Coach led snatch Barbell Warm-Up
Then.. work through 3 rounds of The Complex as a class

The Complex

1 Tall Power Snatch

2 Snatch Grip Push Press

3 Hang Power Snatch

Weightlifting / Technique Focus
Every 2:00 x 5 Sets
1 Tall Power Snatch
2 Snatch Grip Push Press
3 Hang Power Snatch
*Priming the system and focusing on form. Starting with a light load and progressing if you can maintain tension and create a strong fast turnover in the Tall Power Snatch

Workout
20:00 AMRAP
400m Run
10 TnG Power Snatch
*60-65 perceny. Level 1 can go from the hang

Goals / Stimulus / Objectives
Score = Total Load Lifting
This means that the weight only counts if the reps are done as touch and go for 10 at a time. If you break you have to do another run before making the next attempt. 

Score would look like
10 Tng Reps @ 135
10 TnG Reps @ 140
10 TnG Reps @ 145
10 TnG Reps @ 150
Sum Total of the weight that was on the bar = 570lb

Stimulus: Barbell Cycling / Aerobic Capacity 
RPE: 8/10 
Primary Objective: Complete 5+ Rounds 
Secondary Objective: Most total load lifted per set

We are looking for athletes to both push the run pace as well as challenge their ability to maintain some good loads on the barbell with quality cycling technique. Suggested loading should be around 55-65% of 1RM in order to maintain mechanics and allow for consistency across sets.

Squat Clean Thrusters
1.1 @ 70%+ of 1RM Thruster
The goal here today is to build to around 85% of 1RM Thruster
***1.1 today means 1 squat clean cluster, wait 10 seconds, 1 squat clean cluster

***there are workouts where you can pull parts for scaling from level 1 and level 2 and sometimes you should stick with one or the other. Ask your coaches and read the stimulus section we post below the workout everyday! Almost always chase the stimulus and to finish under the time cap. There are exceptions sometimes.

Level 2:
Barbell: 75/55lb, 34/25kg

Level 1:
For Time:
4-8-12-16-12-8-4

Time Cap: 17:00

Score: Time

Stimulus: Open Style Workout Prep

RPE: 9/10

Primary Objective: Strong Back Half Finish

Secondary Objective: Bar Facing Burpee Cadence

This will not be comfortable in any way, shape, or form. This classic couplet will tease you into making bad decisions with the low volume sets out of the gate; do not take the bait unless you know you can handle it. Most athletes should aim to stay in control into the set of 20 thrusters, and then start to build intensity through the descending sets on the back half of this workout. Pure, total body fitness will be on display today.
