Phase I
Power clean, 5-5-3-3-1-1 reps
Rest
Phase II
Perform 5 Rounds of this circuit for time:
Press to handstand 5 times.
Powerclean 10 reps.
Rest
Phase III
Practice handstand press for twenty minutes.
Notes:
1. Structure same as M-Tu-W and Th:
First phase slow and heavy,
second phase fast circuit,
third phase slow and controlled again.
5 Sets of pull-ups. Fast-slow-fast-slow-fast.
The fast ones are fast and sloppy; the slow ones are excruciatingly perfect.
This is, of course, high rep and low rep, alternating.
The following circuit contains three elements and is a powerful whole body workout.
Each element is 45 seconds with a fifteen second rotation
(not one second more or you start over).
Make five rotations. That's exactly fifteen minutes.
If you don't know the elements you haven't been paying attention.
(It's partly our fault; we're working on a page of descriptions and illustrations.)

"Wall Ball"
Hollow Rock
Romanian Deadlift/Upright Row combo movement
We are due for a little circuit work. Circuit training is an excellent test
of your overall fitness. At CrossFit intensities it becomes debilitating.
We use it sparingly and go all out! This is "combat" or "getting out of
the burning building" fitness.
Decide loads and assistance (if absolutely necessary to get ALL reps)
before starting. Be smart, shelve your ego and shoot for rapid completion
with NO rest. Submit record of total time, weights for each lift, and
assistance (if needed on pull-ups and dips). Set up recording sheet
ahead of time. Rip!!
