240820

Workout of the Day

2-4-6-8-10 reps for time of:
Push jerks
Front squats

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
This is intended to be 5 to 8 minutes of work. Quality of movement will be rewarded compared with the grunt work from yesterday. This workout should be done after strong technique practice to focus on hip extension and the receiving position in the jerk, and bar path and the front rack in the front squat.

Some athletes should expect to be able to complete each set unbroken, but there is still value in staying heavy if you need to break the sets of 6 and 8 in half and the set of 10 into as many as 3 sets if necessary to preserve sound technique.

Intermediate option:
2-4-6-8-10 reps for time of:
Push jerks
Front squats

105 lb
155 lb

Beginner option:
2-4-6-8-10 reps for time of:
Push jerks
Front squats

55 lb
75 lb

Resources:

Intermediate scale (155 lb), 8:35.


Unbroken (did not drop barbell) through both sets of 4.  Then for jerks did 6 / 5-3 / 4-4-2, and for squats did 6 / 5-3 / 6-4.  Very tough to pick up that barbell each time.  Did not want to fail a rep and have to redo it.

Globo wod: It is OK to do this in a rack if you are using iron plates, pick a weight that you can maintain control for the rep scheme. Dumbbell sub 50/75 lb dumbbells (intermediate 40/60, scaled 20/30lbs).
