In this clean ladder, you have 10 minutes to get as deep as you can in the ladder. Your final score is the final weight you lift. There’s 10 minutes to get as deep as you can in this. However, the catch is the starting weight. For the big boys who can lift a lot of weight, there will be a lot of weight changing going on. For those who aren’t as proficient at the clean, there is plenty of time to catch ones breath, set up and lift safely. Setting up like this in this format allows for a check and balance at each end of the athletic spectrum where even the strongest still need to be efficient with their time.

The starting weight for the men = 95# moving up in 10# increments

The starting weight for the women = 65# moving up in 5 # increments

Ground to overhead is a very open movement category allowing you to move the barbell to the overhead position in any way you desire. Based on your skill level and the weight you choose to lift, how that bar is going to end up in the overhead locked out position is up to the lifter. For those more comfortable snatching the weight, that option is available, however for those who are not as comfortable with the snatch, a clean and jerk option is available to you.

The weight that you choose to lift also factors into your choice. If the lifter is very capable and strong in the snatch movement, there is a high likelihood that they are highly proficient in the Clean and Jerk movement as well. Maximum freedom of choice is available here.

We pick things up and put them down…often. If you want to get fit, get strong and be the beast within, you’ve got to get comfortable lifting heavy things as often as possible.

There is not much more to it than that.

Nancy” is a couplet combining two gawd-awful activities: Running and Overhead squats. Separately, they are unpleasant. Combined, actually they aren’t that bad.

Good ol’ fashioned push ups…in a WOD….and some folks still struggle with them. Keep the hands under the chest, your index fingers out at 10 and 2 and the thumbs at 12:00. Dont let the arms flair out like a bird of flight…you need to push yourself away from the ground.

Overhead Squats aren’t easy. They were never meant to be. They require a lot of coordination and core strength, and when first exposed to the methods of CrossFit they can be daunting. The key to success is core control.
