Scaling:

Watch Press to Handstand Progression: Plate Drill and Annie’s Press to Handstand Progression and work on the skill. For the second portion of your session, watch The Power Snatch and focus on going heavy from the ground to overhead. Beginners may choose skills practice such as plank holds or handstands. All athletes can go heavy in the power snatch, with newer athletes focusing on solid mechanics.

Scaling:

Pick loads, rep numbers, and a box height that allow you to get through the squats and jumps with a minute or so to row. However, you should need to sprint through the squats and box jumps to earn that time. The 3-minute rest will let you recover to sprint again in the next interval. Adjust after the first round if needed.

Sadie Jane Huffer, 37, died on Feb. 17, 2023, when a roof collapsed in Anchorage, Alaska, at Turnagain CrossFit.

Huffer was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend. She was born in Seattle, Washington, and ended up in Anchorage for college at the University of Alaska. Huffer graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree in social work and went on to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Described by loved ones as sensitive, loving, and caring, her hobbies included knitting, blueberry picking, making bread, smoking salmon, and working out at Turnagain CrossFit.

Huffer is survived by her husband, John Paul; children, Tyler, Blaise, and Jane; sisters, Sarah Ransom and Samantha Lamphier; and parents, Denise and Ted Smith.

A memorial workout event is being held by Huffer's Turnagain CrossFit family on April 8, at 7 p.m. at the Dome in Anchorage. To help Huffer's family during this time, you may donate here.

Scaling:

Reduce the reps of shuttle runs in order to keep that portion under 5 minutes. If you are new to the rope climb, watch The Rope Climb (Basket) and The Rope Climb (Wrapping) and practice the wrapping styles, but consider modifying the movement for the workout. If you do not have access to a climbing rope, the towel pull-up is a comparable option. Reduce the load on the bench press in order to perform large sets.
