Bad Dog Squat vs Good Dog Squat

We're sticklers for good form, and we certainly don't want you exhibiting what we call "dog squats" like this:



 On the other hand, dog squats like this are acceptable:  click here for video.

Double Tabata Run/Pushup/Situp

Chipper Double Tabata Style. This is a spin off of a Single Tabata WOD we did in Dec 2010. I decided to modify it to a Double Tabata so we have ample time to get on and off the treadmills.

5 Rounds of 40 secs on/20 sec rest for 2 sets of:

1. Treadmill run (score is lowest mph)
2. Situps (score is lowest # reps/set)
3. Pushups (score is lowest # reps/set)

Rest exactly 5 mins between sets

Note: Modifications are to have 40 sec of running then 20 sec of rest. The sit-ups and pushups are to be done together back to back in a 40 sec interval with 20 sec rest after . So do 20 sec of sit-ups and without rest switch as fast as possible and complete as many push-ups as possible for the remainder of the 20 sec and then rest for 20 sec.

Total score is (MPH score)(Pushups + Situps)

Example: (6mph)(10 pushups +10 situps) = 120

Post your score and if any Mods/Scal. Compare to 11-05-11.

Deads For Tons

Not for time: Strength developing day, so lots of rest.

Deadlifts- 10/10/10/10/10

Note: 2-3 Min rest between sets. Add the total tonnage lifted for all 5 sets. For each set do not drop the weight but rather lower the weight to the ground.

Dessert- 1000 meter row off.

That Planking Hill

MRI 20 min in teams of two:

-Heart Break Hill- 1000 M row

-Plank Hold

-10 Burpees in 45 sec if plank is broken


In teams of two you will complete max reps in 20 min of heart break hill. While one partner is running the heart break hill the other partner will be holding a plank until their partner is back from the run. If at any time the partner holding the plank drops or breaks form in the plank they have to complete 10 burpees in 45 sec. If the burpees are not complete in the 45 sec you continue for another 10 reps or until your partner is back. When the partner returns from the run you switch places and continue until time is out.

Cleans & KTE

Dynamic warm-up. Here is great literature and a video with DPT Kelly Starrett talking about warming up and using mobility drills not "stretching" to get yourself into better positioning for lifting (if needed). Save the PNF(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching for after the WOD.

Not for time:

Cleans-5/5/5/5/5/5
KTE's- Max reps after each set of cleans

Dessert- finish with 1 mile run for time, sub 2 k row.

Note: Cleans are full squat cleans, weight must be eccentrically lowered to the ground each rep. KTE's are done consecutively each set, you can rest hanging from the bar but cannot touch the ground or box. Record weight for the last set of cleans and add up all sets of your KTE's for your score. Post any scale/mod.
