Strength
High Bar Back Squat 3-3-3-3-3
WOD
For time:
20 Shoulder to Overhead (155#/105#)
40 Burpees
– Partition reps as needed. You can break this up any way you want, as long as all the reps get done.

Thanks Yosh… now I’m gonna have Journey stuck in my head all day.
That’s the way you need it, any way you want it!
HBBS: naaaht so much. 135# and then ran out of time. i need to do a much better job being more time efficient.
wod: 15:16 Rx. Yeah, the point was probably not for this to take 15 minutes, but I needed to prove to myself that I could do it. I started doing sets of 2 S2OH and 4 burpees, and made it about halfway before I started failing things (a few cleans, and more than a few overheads) and had to switch to singles. Many thanks for the encouragement/patience of the 5:30 class and coach mandy!
HBBS – 275# was having trouble getting quality depth today. lots of tightness all around…
WOD – 4:33 RX Take Yosh’s advice; get the shoulder to overheads out of the way first. Burpees will just tire you out and get you to failure on the S-OH much quicker. You’ll never fail a burpee…
hmm. i disagree with that approach. depends on the athlete, i think. i personally know if i have a big set of something (like 20 heavy shoulder to overhead or 40 burpees), i’m going to break it up anyway, or at least have to slow down at some point, so when that comes, i’d switch to the other activity so i could just keep moving and not have to do the same thing too many times in a row.
i think it’s more about the smartness in choosing your rep scheme. if you know you can consistently knock out 5 unbroken and fast shoulder to overhead and 10 super fast burpees, that might end better than trying to knock out the shoulder to over head first.
you have a good point, Cal. but I still think that if you scale appropriately, knocking out the shoulder to overheads is a good idea =)
275# (Failed on #2 of 285#)
5:46 Rx
130# HBBS
80# Shoulder to over head 5:02. I think I need to start going heavier.
HBBS: 115#
WOD: 8:44 @ 70#. Initially my plan was to do the shoulder to overheads in fives and just get them out of the way, but it was too much on my shoulders so I did five burpees, then another five shoulder, then five more burpees, etc.
Thank you Cal for your excellent suggestion! Go deep 🙂
HBBS: 200# = PR. Need to work on keeping my knees out throughout the entire movement.
WOD: 7:02 @ 115# I decided to break it out into even sets (5 S-OH, 10 burpees).
