CrossFit Open 13.4

Welcome to LP!

Strength
Two options . . .
A.  Find the weight where you will resume your linear progressions.  Start light.  Focus on form.  Do 3 to 4 sets, adding weight to the bar each set.  If the bar speed slows, you're too heavy.  Strive for a weight that is difficult, but doable.  Wherever you stop is where you should begin with 3 x 5's next time.
B.  Look at the weight you were using for 3 x 5's before break, and begin a new cycle of 3 x 5's beginning with 80-90% of that weight.

Metcon

Skill Work
Press --> Push Press --> Push Jerk (aka Power Jerk)

Here's a brief CrossFit video showing the differences:



And here's Olympian Natalie Woolfolk (on the right) coaching a clean and push jerk:


Strength
3x5's of
- frontsquat, 1-arm db rows
- deadlift, benchpress
We skipped overhead pressing and power cleans during out strength training, because of the metcon below.

5 Hang Power Cleans and Push Press (or Push Jerk)
