In-class GWOD:
3 rounds for quality:
10 Strict handstand push-ups on wall (progression: Use AbMats)
10 L-hang pull-ups (progressions: curled legs; strict pull-ups; with bands)

 

Team WOD: Watch and Burn
In teams of 4, complete (in any order):
50 dips
50 knees-to-elbows
50 front squats 95/65
50 box jumps

On each team, only one person can be doing these reps at a time, and their reps only count while the other three team members are doing the following: 1) bottom-to-bottom air squats, rep for rep (rest at bottom); 2) hollow body hold; 3) holding a plate overhead (45/25). Team members can switch out however they want, but again, the reps only count while all three of the other things are happening.
At end, team must run as a group from the field house to the road between the field house and the soccer field and back, with two team members carrying a third by the hands and ankles, like a stretcher. Swap out as necessary.

For time:
5 Front squats
25 pull-ups
4 Front squats
20 pull-ups
3 Front squats
15 pull-ups
2 Front squats
10 pull-ups

For the front squats, use 65-70% of your one rep max.  If you’re not sure of your one rep max, choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to do all the squats unbroken.

For students departing from the Wendler cycle:

SWOD 1: Front squat 5-5-5-5-5 (how-to video)

SWOD 2: Power clean 3-3-3-3-3 (video)
Remember, these are max efforts. Try to go up in weight each set, going as heavy as you can without your form degrading.

SWOD 3: Weighted pull-up 5-5-3-3-1
Good method to get the weight on: video; here is another video with lots of variations, but mute your sound before you click on it! The noise in the background is hideous.
