CrossFit – Fri, Feb 6

CrossFit Republic – CrossFit

Daily Strength W.O.D. – 15 Minutes (Weight)

Build to a heavy complex of…

Hang Power Clean + Front Squat + Hang Squat Clean

Intended Stimulus

This is a technical strength complex , not a max-effort day.

The purpose is to:

Reinforce clean positions from the hang

Build confidence transitioning from power → squat receiving positions

Strengthen the front rack under load

Improve timing and balance through the pull and turnover

The heaviest complex today should feel challenging but controlled , not rushed or forced.

Loading Guidance

Begin light and build gradually

The squat clean will be the limiter, let that dictate loading

Increase weight only if all three movements stay technically sound

If any rep turns into a starfish catch, slow turnover, or unstable front rack, stop adding weight.

Execution Notes

All three movements should flow smoothly together

You may pause briefly in the front rack if needed

Focus on strong positions rather than speed

This complex rewards patience and precision, not aggression.

Coaching Focus

Stay balanced over mid-foot

Finish the pull before moving under the bar

Fast elbows and stable front rack

Control the descent into the squat clean

Daily Conditioning Team W.O.D. – 12 Minutes (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

Teams of 2

As Many Rounds and Reps as Possible in 12 Minutes of…

16 Hang Power Cleans (135/95)

20 Toes to Bar

24/19 Calorie Ski

Intended Stimulus

This is a short, high-output team conditioning workout built around three movements that compete heavily for grip and midline.

The hang power cleans create localized fatigue, the toes-to-bar tax the core and grip, and the ski keeps heart rate elevated without allowing full recovery.

The goal is continuous movement with smart rep management , not long sets followed by long rest.

How This Should Feel

Early rounds feel fast but controlled

Grip and midline fatigue build quickly

Breathing stays elevated the entire 12 minutes

Later rounds become about minimizing downtime between transitions

You should never feel fully recovered once the workout starts.

Movement & Strategy Notes

Hang Power Cleans

Moderate load — should be cycled in small sets

Quick singles or short touch-and-go sets both acceptable

Stay tall and finish the pull before turnover

Toes to Bar

Break early before grip blows up

Keep sets short and repeatable (5–10 reps works well)

Avoid chasing unbroken sets at the cost of consistency

Ski Erg

Smooth and steady pace

Strong leg drive with relaxed arms

This is your chance to breathe while still working

Team Strategy

Rotate frequently from the start

Avoid one athlete carrying too much of the barbell or gymnastics volume

Have the next athlete ready before the previous one finishes

Fast switches matter more than big sets.

Big Picture

This workout rewards:

Smart rep partitioning

Grip management

Communication and urgency without chaos

Move consistently, switch often, and keep the work flowing.
