( Note: This is the first WOD of the CrossFit Open to qualify for the games. You must perform as many burpees as possible in 7 min. You must jump to a target 6" above your hand when it is fully extended overhead. Also, your reps must be verified by a trainer to count. Your training staff will cover the full range of motion and review the WOD before you begin. Good Luck! Your training staff is enjoying watching all of you attain your fitness goals. Now let's give this competition thing a try! )
(Note: Work in teams of two, you may both work at the same time but may not advance until the reps are completed for each activity. For the barbell carry, you must carry two barbells holding them at the ends as if you were carrying a stretcher. You must carry the average of you and your partners weight.)
(To perform the ring plank, hold the rings and tuck your knees up curling your feet under your buttocks. Hold this position with arms locked straight for 1 min.)
(One team member will perform thrusters, the other will perform 5 burpees every minute on the minute. One person rests while the other works. After 100 thrusters is achieved, there will be a 5 min rest and the team members will switch and repeat. Please be sure to scale the weight appropriately! I will recommend most of you perform this WOD with 45# bar or less.)
(Note: To perform a Tabata, take each exercise and perform 8 rounds of 20 sec. of movement followed by 10 sec. of rest. Start with OH squats (20s on / 10s rest) for eight rounds, then move on to push ups and KB swings.)
(Carry the dumbbell the length of the gym. Down and back is one rep.)

For the Mountain Climbers, hold a front plank position on the rings and perform your Mountain Climbers. Oh, and by the way, for the Mtn. Climbers, Left and Right =1 rep.)
Homework is always a drag... But it gets you through school with some sort of knowledge base. Today, look up the Burgener Warm Up online and perform the warm up routine 3-5 times with a PVC pipe or 45# bar. Below is a short clip of the warm up highlights in case you don't have time to research it. There may be a QUIZ on this in class next week! If you answer wrong, Burpees will be waiting for you...
Carry the bumper plates (one in each hand) the length of the gym and back. Try to increase your weight each carry. This task is an excellent hand/ grip workout.
THEN. . .
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
24 inch Box Jump, 12 reps
Dead Lift, 6 reps
6 Bar Roll Outs
(Note: For the Bar Roll Out, with your hands on the bar and your knees on the floor in a quadruped position, roll the bar forward in front of you all the way into a plank position as far forward as your core will allow, then pull the bar back into the quadruped position.)
(Note: You may work in teams of three. Try to choose partners that will work with similar weights (kettle bells, med balls) One person works, one must jump rope (outside), one is allowed to rest. Remember to keep exceptional form. If the trainer has to correct your form at any time, there is a 5 burpee penalty! And they WILL correct it! Stay strong. . . Stay Fit.)
(Note: This workout is meant to be fast paced with EXCELLENT form. You are to work non-stop throughout the first five exercises for 1 min each followed by a one min rest period. Then repeat the cycle for two more rounds. Your score is the total number of reps performed throughout all three rounds.)
