Pick a load that is heavy, but not your max. You should be able to complete multiple jerks per round.

Post load and number of reps completed each round to comments.


Scaling:
The loads used by Games athletes are too heavy for most athletes. Pick a load that is heavy, but doable. If needed, reduce the run distances so you have 30-45 seconds each round to complete as many reps as possible of the jerk. Beginners should go lighter and focus on sound mechanics.

Beginner Option:
For time:
Run 200 m
10 jerks
Run 400 m
10 jerks
Run 600 m
10 jerks

2-2-2 at 200lb. off makeshift garage-blocks

-this limited my dip depth so the second rep each round was pressed out. Happy to get any, running is not my strong suit and I inhaled some tea right before the 600m, had a slight asthma attack going into the 800m but recovered by the time I got back. I left about :20 at the end of each run. 1:40-2:40-3:38. Was still pressing out rep 2 when 12:00 elapsed. Fasted at 11:30…

M/26/5'8"/165lb

CrossFit AFK


1:35-2:27-3:16-3-2-3 - Sc (Used 185lb from the rack. Runs were not shuttle, but were out and back. That 600m was brutal, similar to the round of 15 in a 21-15-9. 185lb is my 90% Jerk, which kind of scared me but I went for it anyway. Happy with that score, my runs were slow - legs are crushed and feet are hot from bike to work and the 5k.)


Lesson Plan

Warm-up

3 rounds

3 plank to touches, each side

1 handstand kick-up

6 plank shoulder taps, each side

1 handstand kick-up

9 mountain climbers, each side

1 handstand kick-up

-try to balance at the top of the handstand or just practice the kick-up

Specific Warm-up

Running

Wall Pull Drill

1-1-1-1-3-3-3-5-5

-Back against the wall in figure 4 pose, switch the feet and keep your lifted foot from touching the wall behind you.

Wall Fall Drill

1-1-1-1-3-3-3-5-5

-Leaning into the wall with arms straight at shoulder height. Start in a figure 4 pose, switch feet quickly without loosing the angle of your lean. Feet should land in the same spot instead of inching closer to the wall.

2x50m single leg pull, 2 sets on left leg and right leg.

-Alternating bounce, then pull one leg only and hop on the other foot.

2x100m run

Jerks

Push jerk progression

3 reps

Jump and land, hands at sides, no bar

Jump and land, hands at shoulders front rack position, no bar

Jump punch and land, no bar

Push Jerk, barbell

Build-up

5 rounds every 90-seconds

3 push jerk singles

-definite stop or rerack the bar between reps

-build up to the weight you will use in the workout

Workout of the day

-Keep an eye on a timer to keep track of how long the runs take. If you are at halfway in the run and over halfway through your time interval, you aren't going to get to the barbell.

-run 400s for each round, scale to 200/400/600, use mainsites suggestions.

Stamina and cool-down

6 rounds every 40-seconds

5 push-ups

Slow and controlled with continuous movement of behind the neck shoulder presses, snatch grip

Then,

1-minute each side

Deep lunge stretch

Pigeon stretch

Used 200# for jerks (women’s Games weight).  Did 50-yard (not meters) shuttle runs down the hill in the back yard, and extended the time by 30 seconds each round.  I would not have gotten more than maybe 1 jerk each round otherwise.  Kept rests the same.  So rounds were 0-2:30, 3:30-7:00, 9:00-13:30.  Was able to get 3 jerks each round – missed the first in round 1. Tough!

Rx-ish. Did rx distance but every round finished a few seconds before time was up. So I gave myself 35 seconds for max jerk at 115 lbs. 8,8,10

Subbed row for run (same distance)

115# Split Jerk from the rack

6-10-10


Scaled/subbed out of an abundance of caution - recovery from some apparent minor muscle strain and spasms over the weekend. I was not sure how my back was going to hold up to the jarring motion of running plus the jerk with load picked from the ground, but I wanted to preserve a heavier weight in the jerk.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Gymnastics and monostructural. Core to extremity, pushing with skill, overhead, upright torso demand on hips and ankles, using endurance to challenge power/stamina. Enough rest to help but not full recovery.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM

x

HEAVY


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

Run 200 meters

15 push press


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Max distance run in 6 minutes

Max reps push/split jerk in 6 minutes


INTENSITY SCALE

As is, but lighten up the weight so its a push press (and more reps, overall)


MY STUFF

4 rounds of 460m run, 12 split jerks at 95 lbs. (alternating feet). 11:41


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7?
