Embace your goat!

WOD for Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Make goat cheese!

15 Minute Volume Training 

Pick a goat and complete max reps of that exercise every minute on the minute for 15 minutes. Do not exceed 30 seconds of work, so pick an exercise that you're weak in or something you can scale appropriately. For lifting choose a number of reps and percentage of your max and maintain that for the entire 15 minutes. For example, back squat three reps at 80% of a 1RM.

Scaling Amanda...

The CrossFit Santa Cruz video above shows masterful coaching of the kipping muscle up.

So, for today's WOD we have two of the most challenging movements in our sport.  We will spend some extra time with the Snatch and Muscle up before we tackle "Amanda" either prescribed or scaled.   Take careful notes this training day as we will repeat this WOD soon to gauge progress.  This will push us to get the rings up soon at the new location!

4x2 TnG Squat Snatch @ 65%, rest 60 seconds between sets
