WOD - March 29, 2012 - Thursday

Workout of the Day

For today I am giving you guys a choice, kind of. The Work Capacity section is broken up into two workouts, A and B. If you are an advanced CrossFitter, then workout A may be better for you. If you are newer to CrossFit or are not confident with muscle-ups, then workout B will be the best option.

Warm-Up: Muscle-up transition drills (on low rings, feet on the ground, false grip in place, practice the transition from the hang to the bottom of the dip on the muscle-up. Focus on speed through this transition -- imagine Superman ripping open his button down if you are confused about the path of the rings)

Strength: AMRAP 5 minutes of:
* 1x Strict Press
* 2x Push Press
* 3x Push Jerk
Load the bar with 85% of your 1RM Strict Press.

Work Capacity:
WOD A -- For time do:
* 10x Muscle-ups
* 10x Air Squats
* 8x Muscle-ups
* 20x Air Squats
* 6x Muscle-ups
* 30x Air Squats
* 4x Muscle-ups
* 40x Air Squats
* 2x Muscle-ups
* 50x Air Squats
NOTE: Only perform WOD A if you can do the first set of muscle-ups unbroken. Incidentally, if you don't have rings you can substitute bar muscle-ups.
WOD B -- For time do:
* 30x Ring-dips
* 10x Air Squats
* 25x Ring-dips
* 20x Air Squats
* 20x Ring-dips
* 30x Air Squats
* 15x Ring-dips
* 40x Air Squats
* 10x Ring-dips
* 50x Air Squats
If you do not have rings, substitute parallel bar dips.

Extra Credit:  5x 200m run with 30s rest between efforts.

  1. Strength: Definitely helped since my strict press sucks. I used 55 pounds and did ~7 rounds (timer stopped working)

    Work capacity: Did workout b, ring dips with a pink band but ended up switching to blue. Never really done dips so that was a nice wod to work on. Squats were fun. time: 13:23

  3. Thought I posted this last night but I guess not…

    Warm-up: 3 rounds of 5x push jerk 5x snatch balance 10x ohs. Good complex.

    Strength: 5rds @ 155. Did 6 rounds but realized after that I was over 5 minutes. First two rounds back to back unbroken, bad idea. Rest were unbroken but long breaks between.

    Work Capacity: 8:08. Had about 3 failed muscle-ups and had trouble stringing them together but moved fast on the air squats.

    Extra: Tried to mess around with the back bay complex but wasn't quite getting it.

  5. Strength: 95# 6 rounds

    Work Capacity: I thought you get the extra credit if you put together the work capacity and the extra credit. so I actually ran 200 m after every squats so my work capacity was actually dips, squats then run. So it took me 14:50. Do I still get the extra credit? haha.
