Day One Movement Standards
Snatch – This movement begins with the barbell on the ground, and the athlete in a snatch set-up position. The barbell must be moved in one continuous motion from the floor to a fully extended overhead position – the barbell overhead directly aligned over the shoulders, hips and ankles. The barbell may not stop its upward descent to overhead at any point or touch the body higher than the sternum (i.e., touching the barbell to the shoulders or head and pressing will be deemed a no-rep).
Front Squat – In the front squat, the barbell must be held in the front rack position. At the bottom, the crease of the hips must pass below the height of the kneecap. At the top, the knees and hips must be fully extended. A full squat clean will count as a repetition as long as all the above requirements are met.
Assault Bike – The Assault Bike will be set for calories.
Double-Unders – This is the standard double-under in which the rope passes under the feet twice for each jump. The rope can spin forward or backward for the rep to count.
Wall Ball Shots – The medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the specified target. The ball must make contact with the front-face of the target. If the ball hits the bottom or top edge of the target or does not hit the target at all, it is a no rep. The rep is counted when the ball makes contact with the target. If the ball is dropped, it must come to a full stop on the ground before the athlete may pick it up for the next rep.
Toes to Bar – In the toes-to-bar, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes touch the pull-up bar. Both feet must be in contact with the bar at the same time, inside the hands. The arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom, and the heels must be brought back behind the vertical plane of the pull-up bar.

Pretty happy with these numbers considering the circumstances of my Monday/Tuesday. Had a lot fun, except for maybe the last minute of power hungry… that wasn’t fun.
I’m also a day behind. Finished up my finals on Monday and didn’t have much sleep going into Monday so I skipped the gym.
E1: 5/6 @ 120# (600# total)
E2: 7 reps @ 145#
E3: 47 cals
E4: 12:59
These events kicked my butt….but I’m pleased with these scores for only conditioning twice, or sometimes three times a week this entire cycle!
I’m a day behind! Battling with a nasty cold/congestion thing the last few days… felt a little better today so decided to give this a go!
E1: 4/6@ 165 (660#)
E2: 9
E3: 41 cal

Nice work hitting 150 but you shot yourself in the foot by not warming up!
I’m sorry….??♀️ It was the clean that got me.

2) 10 front squats at 185#
3) 43 cals
4) 11:15 – BUT I am SO DUMB and used a 20lb med ball!!! ??♀️??♀️??♀️ Not until my last set about 30 into the 60 did I realize i was supposed to use a 14lb. ? My time woulda been wayyy better cause I picked up the 14 and it felt amazing! Haha I will redo this if it’s possible for sure!
Very fun day!
Oh no that would have made a big difference. that was probably our fault as we never let you use 14lb. 🙂
You got a little stronger and scaled up!
Haha yep! I’m ok with it 🙂
A. 260 5/6
B. 10

2) 275x (10 reps)
3) 52 cals
4) 11:19
(done with a 36lbs, all I have, should have been faster fell apart after the 120 DU)
Hahaha but you love them deep down, I know you do. Solid work buddy!
Right now no, that 30+ pound Medball takes my soul sometimes and the assault bike…all the time, still coughing. 52 cals to…weak sauce
A. 825 total 5/5 with 165… warmed up to 165 and missed it twice then said “f*ck it I’ll go for it!” – finished right at 2:00 mark
B. 9 reps
C. 43 cals – yuck.
D. 12:31 lack of oxygen to the brain so the numbers got a little scrambled and I did 160 DU instead of 120… wall balls started hurting hard on that last set. T2B felt okay but started to fatigue on last set
Not bad today but definitely need to work on my “push” during conditioning
A 242 no misses
B. 13 front squats 275
C. 53 cal bike… embarrassing but have one now
D. 12:13 disappointing
It’s all good, I’m worse…52!
I have one in my house and I still suck on it. Thing makes me want to cry all the time. My wife won’t even touch the thing.
Thanks man! Just put mine together in my house yesterday so it should be a quick fix. Also was tripping all over DU today haha not usually a weakness. Nice work on your snatches though!
Thanks I do better when I lift faster, would be a mess in a Olympic lifting comp.
Best of luck, I just hate it so I never get on the thing. Was good about the bike for a little bit a little tired of being uncomfortable at the moment. Used to love grinding now, I would rather just lift. ??????You know what I’m saying?!
The bike 30 seconds after repping out those squats is no joke. Nice work guys!
A) 1025 went with 205 here
B) 5 Front Squats at 275
C) Got smoked here 37 cals I blame our sketchy bike 😉
D) 12:32 That was spicier than anticipated
A. 1200lbs (240×5) no misses. Felt like I was To conservative on these.
B. Front squats 12 @ 275
C. 66 Cal bike (72-76 rpm)
D. Metcon. 12:29 shit the bed here on the last set of dubs and wall balls. But ready to come back tomorrow and put more work in.
Some more work. I’d like to see that workout closer to 8
Same here. A bit disappointed in that performance but can not deal on it. Realize what I need to improve and do so.
Good learning going into the 2018 season
Scaled elite division
5/5 225
5 reps
77 cals
12:29
Not bad at all for someone who was only snatching the barbell acouple months ago
*3 weeks ago haha
1: 162×5 = 810 (Went everything 30 seconds and was done by 2:00 so probably could’ve gone for a little more)
2: 14 reps at 185. I had more leg but ran out of time. No struggle here. Easy clean.
3. Just couldn’t get started = 40.9 Cals (compared to 45 last time)
4. 14:46 ? just out of gas starting in the middle of round two and just had to hang on. Had a goal to get it under 10:00 but nothing left in the tank.
I see a lot of conditioning in my future.
Hey high five for dying in the middle of the metcon ?
??I rolled off the AB, lay writhing on the floor and knew I was in trouble…
That is the only way to dismount
Event 1
265 x 5 = 1325
Event 2
12 reps
Event 3
77 calories
Event 4
9:31
Great work dude! Thats a solid day!
Thanks coach ! I’m pretty happy with the first 2 events. Didn’t know if you were going to give me a hard time about 3 and 4.
The bike is my nemesis. I need to gain like 20lbs or something. Frustrating.
Event 1 – 205 – 5/5, 1025lbs
Event 2 – 5 reps at 275
Event 3 – 51 cals ?
Event 4 – 11:53
60 wall balls got spicy.
It also doesn’t help when you only had 30 seconds rest 🙂
First day back to conditioning after stomach flu ? 1) went conservatively with 110lbs. Made 5/5 in less than 2 min. Score 550. Should have gone with 115… 2)3 reps at 145lbs. I think this is also my 3 rm. 3) 45 cal. Was hoping 50+…This killed me and I wasn’t expecting it. I had to lay on the ground for at least 10 min after and thought I was going to get sick . After this, my stomach kept being messed up for event 4 as well so I couldn’t push it as hard as I wanted. 4) 11:22.… Read more »
