First things first today DO NOT skip because the strength is Handstand Pushups if can’t do handstand push ups. There is scaling in place for everything, everyday. Thats the beauty of CrossFit

Strength
Every 4 Minutes for 16 Minutes
1 Set of HSPU

Immediately into
Max duration HS Hold (:60 cap)
HSPU set should be between 8-20 reps.
Choose a number you believe you can repeat for all 4 rounds. Stop your HSPU set before failure to allow yourself time in a HS hold.

Scaling
Coach Focus:
Today’s skill work is meant to remind athletes on the value of positioning when it comes to gymnastics. Coaches should be pushing athletes to focus on form vs. going for broke with bad form. Each set ends with a max duration HS hold. Coaches should use the HS Hold portion to ensure athletes understand the concept of “stacking their joints” to increase their ability to hold a handstand for longer. Scaling options for these athletes can be: Pike Strict HSPU on a box + Hold, a set of 3-5 wall walks + a nose and toes hold, or a set of DB strict presses + DB OH hold (or HS hold if able). Get athletes pressing vertically and then performing a static hold to develop shoulder stamina

May add weight each round if it feels and looks good.

*If you are an athlete who made it quarter finals, lighten the load to 60 percent if you feel like, you have 4 workouts coming up to do this week.

Feel: Gas

Pacing: Reach

Target Score: 7 Rounds

Firebreather Score: 10+ Rounds

Scaling

• Machine: Sub with any other machine, should not exceed :30. 100m Run is a comparable substitute if the weather permits or if additional logistics are needed.
• Double Unders: Should not exceed :30 of practice each round
• Squat Clean: Should be heavy but not something an athlete would fail repeatedly. Use the perceived difficulty of 8 out of 10 for athletes without accurate 1RM data.

Coach Focus: Warm up should be spent getting athletes mobile and ready to clean heavy. Athletes do not need to be sprinting the first two movements, but rounds should never take more than 2:00 to complete (not including rest). Athletes may get as heavy as they like assuming sound mechanics.

Additional Notes/Resources: Note the change in workout for athletes looking to compete in the CrossFit Games Quarter Finals that can be found within the workout cell to the left.

Wod
10 Rounds
15 Wallballs
20/14lbs Rest as little as needed between sets. Set must be unbroken to count.
**Looks like the WOD Karen right. Same volume, but we are focusing on sets of 15.
**Rest as needed to finish 15 unbroken, keep track of reps and rounds, don’t shave reps, it’s lame.
**For some of you “rest as needed” might mean 1 or 2 seconds. That’s fine, but if you miss a set of 15 you have to do that over so be smart.
**breaking every 15 is required even if you can do 100+ wall balls unbroken.
**if you break out a set over 15, just to try to finish faster, its a 10 burpee penalty, stick to the script.

Feel: Cardio

Pacing: Sustain

Target Score: Sub-8 Minutes

Firebreather Score: Sub-5 Minutes

Scaling

• Wallball: Reduce the weight of the ball before reducing rounds or reps. All athletes should be able to finish their appropriately scaled version of the workout.

Coach Focus: The benchmark “Karen” can be an extremely daunting workout for someone who does not enjoy wall balls and the goal today is to help them “chunk out” the workout into bite-size chunks that allow them to stay moving quicker from start to finish. Your best athlete, the ones who have a high level of fitness and/or love wall balls, should be told to rest as little as possible and see how fast they can do their 10 sets. Help athletes succeed today with their workout vs. reaching and coming up short today.
