Compass CrossFit – GPP WOD
We are looking at a longer grinder of a workout today, with 4 sets of 2:00 intervals. There is no designated rest, so keep that in mind today. The Alt DB Clean is athlete’s choice on the weight, so athletes should be picking a weight that they can get at least 10 reps per round. On the TTB, our fittest athletes should be shooting for 15+ reps each round, with the first round most likely being higher. Farmers and Front Rack Carry should also be as heavy as possible- the goal here should be to hold on for at least 1:00 at the beginning and then break up as needed after that.
Grip on this workout is a big factor- between the Alt DB Clean, TTB, and Farmers/Front Rack Carry, forearms and shoulders are going to be smoked! Athletes should be getting through the Up Downs and Box Jumps around :30, meaning there is :90 in each interval to accumulate as many reps as possible.

Scaling
Reps, Loading, Volume…
Up Downs: For deconditioned or beginner athletes, we can scale back the number of Up-Downs to something they can complete in under :40.
DB Clean: For deconditioned or beginner athletes, we can keep the load light on the DB.
Box Jumps: For deconditioned or beginner athletes, we can scale back the number of Box Jumps to something they can complete in under :40, or we can scale back the height of the box to allow athletes to move through these quicker.
Farmers Carry/Front Rack Carry: For deconditioned or beginner athletes, we can keep the load light on the KBs
Movement Adjustments…
Up Downs: We can raise the surface that the hands go to (with a box or bench) to decrease the ROM for athletes that need it, or we can sub Cal Bike for the Up-Downs (6-8 Cal).
DB Clean: For athletes that cannot pull off the floor, we can sub a DB Hang Power Clean.
Box Jumps: We can sub Box Step Ups or Double Unders for athletes that cannot jump on a box today (30-50 DU depending on how proficient they are with DU).
Front Rack Carry: We can split the time between Right and Left Arms to allow athletes to focus on one side at a time, or we can sub DB Front Rack Hold here if KBs aren’t light enough.
