The front squat will become our next major player after our box squat cycle. We will not be on a specific lifting program but we will be front squatting or squat cleaning at least weekly. Meaning really work on getting better at the execution of the movement. Understanding what is going to make you better might be as simple as being more efficient and not necessarily putting more weight on the bar.
WOD
“Laser”
3 min AMRAP
3 squat cleans (155/105#)(135/95#)
6 C2B
9 box jump-overs
Rest 1:00, x3
The classic work to rest ratio. The very first to make an appearance in CrossFit programming. The work period is short enough where you can really get caught pushing it way too fast since the rest portion is only a minute long, you don’t get much recovering done in 60 seconds. It is enough time to catch your breath, slow your heart rate a bit and refocus for the next AMRAP. The goal here is to find a round and rep number that you can sustain throughout.
The weight on the bar should be something that you can move for 3 reps unbroken. The idea is to get on the bar and then off the bar pretty quickly. if you go into it with a bar that is too heavy and the plan of going to singles you won’t be able to move fast enough to produce the desired stimulus. Understand the goal and scale the weight accordingly.
