L2: As prescribed (RX)
L1: Straight Legged / Hanging Knee Raises

Athlete Notes:
-The movements will go quickly in the first part, however, once you reach the round of 15+, this workout will become more about how you can break the movements up and the stamina you have in your midline, shoulders & triceps. It will also become a very large Rowing workout towards the back end, so find a pace that you can sustain.
-If you need to scale the Handstand Push-Ups, do 1 Wall Walk for every 5 Handstand Push-Ups.
-And if your hands are still wrecked from the Open, sub in an ab movement for the Toes To Bar (e.g. Alternating V-Ups, Laying Leg Raise, etc).
-Today, we will do all the Toes Toe Bar on the left side of the room (side with the longer rig) and all the Handstand Push-Ups on the right side of the room (side with more wall space).

Athlete Notes:
-Today is a great day to consider using a slightly higher box than normal. And if you really want to push it, go considerably higher and do Box Get Overs.

L1: 55/35lb, 75/55lb, and 95/65lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today is a great skill / capacity workout. The focus is to accumulate as many reps as possible in each AMRAP.
-You'll notice the loading of the Power Snatches is on the heavier side, however, the volume is low on all sets so the goal should be to work through those reps at a consistent pace. (Reminder, if you need to drop today, make sure you grab pads.)
-For the gymnastics work, ideally you should be scaling those reps to complete the volume each round either unbroken or within two sets maximum. The intent is that each round is a slightly harder version of the prior. Feel free to scale this movement as needed to achieve this. It may mean you start with something other than Pull-Ups and work up to that. Scaling options include: Ring Rows, Elevated Ring Rows, Jumping Pull-Ups, and Band Assisted Pull-Ups.

-Select a Barbell weight you can hold quick singles on, doing touch and go reps in the later rounds.
-For the Strict Handstand Push-Ups, scale these to ensure they're challenging but also sustainable. You can look to reduce the volume, reduce the range of motion (use a pad), or change the movement itself to ensure you're progressing your capacity in this skill (such as Kipping Handstand Push-Ups or Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups).

Athlete Notes:
-This workout is very similar to Helen, however you can complete it as you see fit. Develop your own plan of attack suitable for your strengths.
-Given we have a fair amount of overhead work this week, today will be Russian Kettlebell Swings instead of American. Pick a weight that allows you to complete 15 reps unbroken in each set.
-On the Pull-Ups, aim to break these up in a way that you aren’t putting undo strain on your hands. We are in the midst of the Open, now is not the time to rip. Don’t be afraid to adjust these to Ring Rows to save your hands.

L1: 14/10lb and 95/65lb

Athlete Notes:
-The goal is to accumulate 2-3 rounds each AMRAP. The reps are small which means your movement needs to be efficient and your transitions must be quick. Focus on trying to get to the next movement and start working right away.
-The Wall Balls should be a weight you can complete unbroken and the Clean and Jerks should be completed in 2 sets maximum.
-Remember to continue on from where you left off each round.

-Keep in mind, the loading of the barbell should be on the moderate to heavy side. Something you can complete the first couple of Deadlifts in one set, but you may break up into two sets for the remaining rounds. However, you should not be completing the lifts in 3 sets or more.
-Aim to complete the Handstand Push-Ups in two sets. If needed, scale the number of reps or adjust the movement to 3 Wall Walks or 15 Seated Press.
-The Box Jump Overs are really where you’ll push the pace to make up any lost time if needed.

-You should be able to move pretty quickly through the 20 rep movements, just keep transitions efficient.
-The Bike is where you may lose some time. Focus on keeping a challengingly steady pace that you can maintain throughout the entire 24/18 Calories.
-As a reminder on the DB Snatch, make sure both heads of the dumbbell touch the ground and the non-lifting hand/arm does not come in contact with the body during the rep.
