Okay students! Which AC class is more fit? Today we find out.

In this WOD, each person tries to accumulate as many points as possible for the class. You are trying, as a group, to outscore the other class.

It will consist of three parts, each 5 minutes long with a 1 minute rest in between, with one third of the class at each station:

1) Max distance run : each 100m = 10 points

2) AMRAP in 5 min: 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats : each rep = 1 point
(Band-assisted pull-ups = 3 points for 5 reps; push-ups from knee = 5 points for 10 reps)

3) For max points: load barbells 95lb for men, 65lb for women. 1 point for each distance covered by the barbell: ground to hang; hang to rack; rack to overhead
(1 point lifts: deadlift, hang power clean, push press, front squat, back squat; 2 point lifts: power clean, hang power snatch, thruster; 3 points: any complete ground-to-overhead movement)

Note: Bad form on the barbell = 1-5 point penalty, instructor discretion

At the end, we will total your points as a class. Once both classes have done it, we will multiply each class’s point total by the number of participants in the other class.

Class with highest total will be crowned the fittest!

Students!
For those choosing to depart from the Wendler strength cycle, here are this week’s strength workouts. Freshmen, my hope is to do SWOD2 during class on Wednesday, and SWOD3 during class on Friday.

SWOD 1: Push press 5-5-3-3-1 (first review this push press video)
On this, the idea is to go as heavy as you can, increasing the weight for each set. The last rep of each set should be a fight. If you feel you can go heavier, you’re welcome to do one more heavy single for a sixth set.

SWOD 2: Overhead squat 5-5-5-5-5 (overhead squat video)
This is a difficult movement. Really try to lock in your form here, with your shoulders active, arms locked out, chest up, getting to the bottom of the squat while keeping your knees out. Challenge yourself and go as heavy as you can without any degradation in form–but if your form is shaky, don’t go up in weight.

SWOD 3: Front squat 12×2 (12 sets of 2 reps), every 45 seconds (front squat video), dynamic effort @ 50-55% of back squat 4RM
The purpose of a “dynamic effort” is bar speed. The weight is lighter, so strive to make each rep as explosive as possible, driving up rapidly from the bottom of each squat.

Students —
My plan is to begin posting some other strength WODs beginning next week.
You are welcome to skip those and simply continue with the Wendler Cycle—by now you should know well how it works.
If that’s the route you take, again, just add 10 pounds to your deadlift and back squat 4RM, and 5 pounds to your shoulder press, and then go through the cycle again.

Here are the numbers for this week, the deloading phase:

Deadlift: 5-5-5 @ 40, 50 and 60% of 4RM – the last set is not a max effort. Just five reps.
Back squat: 5-5-5 at same numbers
Shoulder press: 5-5-5, same numbers

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

Row 1000m
12 Thrusters, 95/65
15 Burpees
