This is TESTING WEEK! It's not all about 1RM this time - we're testing skills as well.

Remember "testing" and "training" are not the same...so while some of these days will leave you in a pool of sweat, others may not. You've been training hard...now it's time to see where you land.

Today, you'll find your 1RM Snatch and work up to a heavy (possibly a 1RM) Clean & Jerk.

It's time for another fun partner WOD! You and your teammate will use the SAME kettle bell and the SAME medicine ball; all other movements can be scaled per person.

If you don't have a partner lined up, don't worry.  We can pair up in class before jumping in, or adjust for a solo WOD as needed.






For time, complete the following list (note the pacing movement below):
40 Box Jumps (24/20")
40 Pull-Ups
40 KB Swings (55/35#...or heavier)
40 Lunges
40 KB Push Press (same KB)
40 Wall Ball (20/14#)
40 Burpees
40 Sit-Ups

*Pacing move: Partner A will start with box jumps while Partner B completes 15 MB Cleans. Partner B will then pick up on the list where Partner A left off, and Partner A will complete 15 MB Cleans.  This cycle will continue until the last sit-up is complete.

Setting goals is a HUGE part of achieving success. We've talked a little in our private Facebook group about your 2014 goals, but let's start breaking those big items down to monthly/weekly tasks. What small steps can you take each week to get closer to that goal? We're talking anything from stringing together 10 perfect-form push ups or achieving a handstand...to starting a food log or increasing your water intake...to taking the TV out of your bedroom or getting at least 8 hours of sleep. There are plenty of things each of us could work on, so you just have to pick one of them and stay focused. What's your April/May goal? How are you going to achieve it?

Strength:

Turkish Get-Up (with KB or Odd Object)

Conditioning/Skill:
"Bar Hold" (75/55#)
Change positions every :15 for 6:00
-Top of Deadlift
-Clean to Front Rack
-Push Press & Lock Out

-Front Rack
