Finding Intensity

JT Scott | 01/22/2018 | 5

CrossFit gets incredible results by mixing Constantly Varied Functional Movements at High Intensity. (That’s actually the definition of CrossFit.) Yesterday, you all did an amazing job finding the right scaling for FRAN, the classic CrossFit benchmark WOD. Using our front squat to guide our choice of weights and working with your coaches to scale movements around your physical limitations, you all hit our targeted time domain and really got a feel for the intensity we were chasing!

Today we’re chasing intensity in a different way. We’ve got some strength work that will focus on finding hip drive and connecting it to a solid overhead position. Then we’ve got a 10 minute WOD that will bring you a new appreciation for your legs – maybe tomorrow or the day after. 🙂

Curtis P’s are a classic complex that combines a clean, two lunges, and a push press. Doing it with dumbbells brings a new stabilization challenge that will feel fresh, and keeping the DBs light will ensure that you move fast. A strong midline will be essential, as always. Push hard for all 10 minutes and see how many rounds you can rack up!

STRENGTH:
2 Push Press + 2 Push Jerks

WOD:
AMRAP 10
6 DB Curtis P’s (35/25)
8 Broad Jumps (6′)
