Today's workout is the final 2024 Service Cup workout in honor of CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff Flowmaster Kelly Brown who died on Sept. 15, 2020, after a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer.

This workout is a grind that rewards a consistent and steady pace. Aim to complete each round in 5 minutes or less. The load of the barbell should allow you to perform at least 3 unbroken deadlifts every time you pick it up. The prescribed load of the medicine ball has been adjusted from the original workout to make it more accessible for the Service Cup. If you are not signed up for the Service Cup, feel free to use the original load for the wall-ball shots (20/30 lb). Work hard and have fun.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time:
440-meter row
10 box jumps
10 deadlifts
10 wall-ball shots

♀ 20-inch box, 95-lb barbell, and 10-lb med ball
♂ 24-inch box, 135-lb barbell, and 14-lb med ball

Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

On a running clock:
0:00-10:00:
1 snatch high pull
1 hang power snatch

10:00-20:00:
Complete the following complex for max load:
1 power snatch
2 hang squat snatches

For Part 1: Start at 30% of your max snatch and work up to 50%.
For Part 2: Make as many attempts as desired within the 10-minute window.

Post load to comments.

Goal: Technical practice and application. Percentages are based on your best power snatch.

Focus on continuous leg drive and elevating the bar. If the second pull is not executed efficiently, you won’t be able to lift as much load.

When time starts, athletes begin with 30% of their best snatch, or what they consider to be a light weight, and work up in load using the complex of 1 snatch high pull + 1 hang power snatch until they hit about 50%.

At the 10-minute mark:
Athletes move on to their working window and hit the complex of 1 power snatch + 2 hang squat snatches as heavy as possible.

Athletes cannot drop the bar between their power snatch and hang squat snatch.

Scaling:

Intermediate option:
Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed.

Beginner option:
From 0:00-10:00:
Practice the following complex with an empty bar or a light weight:
1 hang snatch pull
1 hang power snatch

3 hang power snatches

Randy

For time:
75 power snatches

♀ 55 lb

Today's workout is in honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27-year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed Feb. 7, 2008, in the line of duty. He is survived by his wife, Lisa; son, Matthew; and daughter, Gabrielle.

Scaling:
Today’s Hero workout is a sprint. The loading should feel light (very light for some). Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 8 minutes. Athletes who are less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of the snatch and reduce the load and reps.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
For time:
50 power snatches

♀ 15-35 lb
♂ 25-45 lb
