Heavy Metal CrossFit Competitor’s Blog: Monday 2/9/15

Wave 2a-Week 3 of 3
Note:
May split day into 2 sessions if possible:
1) AM: Squats, Skill &/or Core Quota.  Optional gymnastics skill work.  Daily stretch/mobility.
2) PM: Oly lifts & Auxiliary  (pulls) and optional WODs (heavy leg/back taxing fits best here). Can also place quota work here.
*Note: Lift % based on top classical lifts.  In some cases Work sets listed only.  In general the % are only a guideline (and usually a ‘conservative ‘one) and will vary from person to person.  Try to match the ‘conservative %’ and in weeks 2 and 3, try to match or beat week 1 w/reps or weight).
*Individual edits and adjustments can be made for your needs (to program and %).  Communicate with your coaches and never assume!

C)      Snatch wave 2: 1s x7-10  (60s rests & start count at ~90-95%, if make 3 in a row, go up, if miss 3 in a row drop down by 10% or 10kg and build back up).
D)     Front Squat: to top 3,2,1(~15 min)
a.       Based on lifters needs pick-‘hard build up’: push the 3,2,1 to a top or ‘loose build up’: don’t push the 3 & 2 as hard as the 1)(examples: ‘hard’-work to 3rm, add ~5% x2, add ~5% x1, if feeling good add ~5% x1, or ‘loose’:x3 @~80-85% of top x1, x2@~85-90% of top x1, x1@~90-95%of top x1, and if feeling good: x1@~100%+ of top x1).  Note: Yes, after you hit your top x3, you can do multiple sets of 2s and 1s while ramping up.
E)      Back Squat: to 5rm (~15 min):
a.       to 5rm (% based on top 5rm): (Bar x3-5+), ~30-40% x5, ~50-60% x5, ~75-80% x5, 90%x5, (~95%x5), ~ 100%x5 (~15 min)
