Double-header
Jumping is all about the hips. So is snatching. In fact, most athletic performance is rooted in the hips, and building powerfully explosive hip extension is definitely a thing CrossFit does pretty well. We’re going to be spending some time putting that jump to use in two different ways today, with a focus on the explosiveness: high box jumps and hang power snatches.
Just to keep it interesting, you’ll have 6 ring dips to do each round. We’re keeping the reps low to keep you moving and give you a chance to challenge your limits in this movement if you’re new to them, so if you’ve got even a few ring dips I encourage you to give them a shot today.
One time through is easy money on this. The real challenge will be recovering your breath, re-strategizing based on what you did the first time through, and throwing yourself at the back half of this double-header!

24″ box, 45# bar, banded dips
This was more fun than I thought it would be!
24″ soft-box jumps with step downs (first time jumping in a million years)
35# snatches started to make a little more sense by the end
red band with about a hand distance over the ring on the dips. Absolutely could have used less band a different day, but couldn’t get my right shoulder externally rotated quite enough to bear the load safely this morning.
WOD 1 – 4 + ummmm I think 14?
WOD 2 – 3 + ummmm I think 26?
I was so positive that I was moving faster on the second set, so either I was wrong or I miscounted rounds. Math (nor tic-tac-toe) is not a forte in the morning….
Round 1 – 3+18
Round 2 – 3+8
85# snatches
Dips were mostly quick singles
2+18
2+15
30″/ 85# / strict
R1: 4

30″, 75#, dips started strict, then kipping
