Today is also a good day to talk about time caps in wods and why they are in place. They are in place to help you hit the correct stimulus of the workout. Standing and looking at bar that is too heavy to pick up is not a good stimulus.
Choosing a weight that you can stay unbroken in your thruster is a far better choice than going for 115 and not finishing. Your fitness is our number 1 priority. During workouts chase the stimulus and goal times not “rx”

Warm-Up
2 Sets (6:00 minutes)
10/10 Quadruped Adductor Rock Backs
30/30 sec Couch Stretch
30/30 sec Pigeon Pose

2 Sets, For Quality (4:00 minutes)
10 Bootstrap Squats
5 Tall Muscle Cleans
5 Tall Power Cleans
7 back squats adding weight each set

We ill give you time to build to to 85 percent on your back squat
Then

Strength
Back Squat
Every 3:00 for 15:00 minutes
5 Back Squats @ 75%+
3 Seated Box Jumps

We should be working with loads from 75-87%+ on the barbell today with the goal of building to a true heavy 5 for the day. Challenge the height on the box, but of course to just a safe height. We are looking to really hit extension well and develop power. 

“Closer to the Sun”

3 Rounds for Time
15 Power Clean
21 (round 1) 15 (round 2) 9 (round 3) Toes to Bar
15 Thrusters
21-15-9 Bar Facing Burpees
Load: 115/75lb, 52/35kg

Goal: 9:00-12:00
Time Cap: 15:00

Primary Objective: Complete the workout in the fastest overall time

Secondary Objective: Remain unbroken on the Toe to Bar and Thrusters

Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning / Anaerobic Threshold

RPE: 9/10

Athlete Strategy, Workout Flow and Notes:

This workout is meant to be a burner and one that challenges your ability to keep a hard and challenging pace from the moment the workout starts. Each movement builds into the next one with the final movement being the Bar Facing Burpee which will be sure to wreak havoc on your ability to stay in control and keep the heart rate down. Work to maintain the pace here and breath during the burpees. The Power Clean reps should start with big sets on round 1 and then work into quick manageable touch and go sets of 3-5 reps at a time to bring the heart rate back down after the burpees. Look to go for big / unbroken sets to challenge yourself on the Toe to Bar and Thrusters, then work back into a steady pace on the Burpees.

This workout will really feel longer than you think it should in the round of 15, but once you hit the 9s you should be sprinting to complete the workout.

Primary Objective: Complete ~5 rounds

Secondary Objective: Keep the Handstand Walk Unbroken throughout the workout

Stimulus: Aerobic Threshold / Gymnastics Conditioning

RPE: 7/10

Athlete Strategy, Workout Flow and Notes:
We will have this workout flow with the goal of maintaining a good consistent pace on the Row and the Run in order to come right in and tackle the Handstand Walk unbroken before circling back around to the Pull-Up bar. The assumption and goal here is that the first 2-3 sets on the Pull-Ups are to be done unbroken and then as we progress up the ladder in the workout the reps will need to be broken up into more manageable sets. We should start out at sub 4:00 minutes / round and gradually increase time as we move up the ladder on pull-ups.

Scaling

Handstand Walk: 

• Incorporate exercises that emphasize building straight arm strength and perfecting the body line, while also concentrating on pressing firmly through the floor as you progress in your Handstand Walk skills.
• For those looking to scale, consider options such as Handstand Walk to Wall, Lateral Handstand Walks along the Wall, or performing a Wall Walk with Shoulder Taps. These variations allow for adjustments based on your current skill level and provide a pathway to improve your handstand walking abilities.

Strict Pull-Ups:

• Initiate the pull-up with lats and shoulder blade movement, avoiding starting the movement at the elbow.
• Scale: Consider scaling to strict banded pull-ups or toenail spot pull-ups.

Athlete Strategy, Workout Flow and Notes-
The focus today is to push the pace on the transition between the Hang Power Snatch to the Push Press, before taking a quick break and breath before grabbing the jump rope to get into the 35 dubs to finish each set. Work the transition back to the barbell and try to keep that intent and pace as you go through the workout. Keep the weight to a manageable load that allows clean cycling patterns and movements.

Stimulus: Posterior Chain / Core

RPE: 7/10

Athlete Strategy, Workout Flow and Notes

The workout will build from round to round and we are making our way up the rep ladder with the focus on developing our posterior chain and midline. Watch out for the bike, as it will get sneaky hard here today. The focus on this one will be to keep the bike moderate to allow for a good transition into the Deadlifts and then breath through the sit-ups. Abmat sit-ups are sneaky and will end up really taxing the midline. If you have never gotten an ab pump before this is the style of workout that will definitely get you there.
