Saturday’s WOD 5/5/12

Posted May 4, 2012 By Gonzo

Buy In:

The adults had trouble getting upside down on Friday... the kids apparently don't have that problem.

Snatch 

WOD:

12 Min AMRAP

200M Run

14 Kettlebell Swings

8 Pull-Ups

Cash Out:

L-Sits

 

For today’s buy in we are going to work on the snatch. The snatch is considered one of the the fastest lifts to take a heavy load from the ground to an overhead position.  If you are familiar with the snatch, we will work on a 1RM.  If you are unfamiliar, then we will focus on drills to get you in the proper movement patterns.

Our workout today looks familiar to those who are familiar with a Benchmark workout named “Helen”.  This is a “quicker” version.  Our goal is to cycle through the triplet of a run, KB swings, and pull ups and hopefully amass a total volume greater than a regular “Helen” total.

For the cashout we are going to play with L-Sits.  Try it on the rings for a slight challenge!
