WOD – Thu, Jan 22

Intent

(0-5)

Today we get a double dose. The intent today is to push your threshold on some overlapping stimuli from part A to part B. We will hinge with the barbell for the cleans and press vertically and horizontally with the upper body. From a scaling perspective the intent is to keep a high cycle rate in part A. You should be able to start both HSPU and hang power cleans unbroken for a few rounds. Part B the load should go up, regardless of how you scale part A. Focus on the challenge of the hand release push up by keeping your quads off the ground for the RX version. This takes intentional piking at the bottom while your chest supports you for the hand release. Anything different than “no quads” is a scale.

Conditioning (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

RXConditioning (30-48)

Part A:

5 HSPU

6 Hang power clean (135/95lb.)

*Scaling goal is to be able to do the hang cleans unbroken and be able to accomplish the HSPU unbroken to start the first few rounds. For part B, the power cleans can be done as singles as long as they can be done in :30-:40 seconds; it can be a good load of choice.
