    • Row (calories)
    • Rest

Turkish Get Up Ladder
- Ladder starts at 35# for men, 25# for women, using dumbbells
- UPDATE: Ladder will increase by 10# for each rung
- Athletes will have 50 seconds to complete 1 full TGU with EACH arm (thus two TGU’s in 50 seconds), and then 10 seconds to transition to the next rung

Ok, we’re going to make a deal with you… we’re going to actually tell you WOD #1… and in exchange, we’re going to give you very limited info for now on WOD #2… sounds ominous.

- Ladder will increase by 5# each “rung”
- Athletes will have 50 seconds to complete 1 full TGU with EACH arm (thus two TGU’s in 50 seconds), and then 10 seconds to transition to the next rung
- Score will be the highest rung successfully completed

WOD 2
- It’s something you all know and love, but in a format you’ve likely not tried
- It’s movements we’re confident you are all comfortable with
- Plan on working for a half hour
- More to come later…

Event 4 Movements AND WODs!

That’s right, kids.  Early WOD announcements mean you get some extra prep time for this event, so we expect a good show!  Here they are (and videos of the movements are coming up soon):

Rx’d WOD1
In 20 minutes, accumulate scores in each of the following:
- 1A: AMRAP Kettlebell Hill Drag (1.5 pood/1 pood)
and
- 1B: 5RM Thruster

Notes on WOD 1:

  • 1A and 1B will be scored separately, so athletes will be posting two different results.  (Think of this as two WODs going on simultaneously.  Including WOD2 there will be a total of 3 Rx’d WOD scores at this event.)
  • Athletes are free to choose how they wish to spend the 20 minutes.
  • Athletes can go back and forth between 1A and 1B, working on scores on both throughout the 20 minutes.
  • Athletes will have a dedicated station at both 1A and 1B.
  • Bars for the thrusters will be empty at the start of the WOD.  Athletes must load bars as they wish for the 5RM attempt (including clips) themselves.
  • WOD Explanation Vid
  • KB Hill Drag Vid
  • 5RM Thruster Vid

Rx’d WOD 2
Squat-snatch Isabel: 30 squat snatches for time (8 minute time cap)

Notes on WOD2:

  • SQUAT snatch will be enforced.  Not hitting full depth will count as no-rep or if an athlete cannot perform the movement’s full range of motion they will be counted as scaled.
  • Scaled weights will be available as shown below.  Athletes must identify their scale and set up their bar prior to start of the WOD and may not change scales once the WOD has started. Scores ranked according to the following:
    1. Rx’d (135#/95#), time
    2. 115#/80#, time
    3. 95#/65#, time
    4. DNF 135#/95#, reps
    5. DNF 115#/80#, reps
    6. DNF 95#/65#, reps
    7. No full squat regardless of weight, time or reps if DNF
  • Movement Standard Vid

Modified WOD
12 minutes to complete
- (3) hill run laps (approx 300m each), then
- AMRAP Ground-to-Overhead (95#/65#) in time remaining

Notes on Mod WOD:

  • Ground-to-Overhead starts with bar on the ground and finishes with bar locked out and stable overhead.  How the athlete chooses to get the bar up is up to them.
  • Score is total number of reps of the Ground-to-Overhead
  • Movement Standard Vid
