ENDURO Week 8
Monday 9/9/19
Test week, best week. You all have survived a demanding squat cycle and now it’s time to reap the benefits. Eight weeks ago we built to a technical 1RM. Now we build to a double with the goal of achieving the same loading or more. IF you hit your 1RM for a double then your coach will encourage you to build to a single afterwards.
Put the pedal to the floor and go. Focus on maintaining big sets during the dumbbell snatches, stay smooth on the box and be ready to sprint the back half of the run.

Today we chase one of CrossFit’s unicorns, the Muscle Up. We will take the majority of class to break down the movement and move through a number of drills for each phase. Identifying potential weak spots in this movement will be huge for progressing into either nailing that first Muscle Up or developing greater capacity.
Following the skill piece we have a chance to put it to the test. Be prepared for an aggressive time cap that will require us to be wise with modifications in order to achieve the intended stimulus.
A. Skill Work:
Ring Muscle Up
B. For Time:
30 Ring Muscle Ups
or
40 Pull Ups & 40 Dips

Time to pull out the big guns. Our final day of test week brings us to an Olympic focus. In addition to getting heavy we also see a good amount of exposure at higher percentages. This will give us time to hone our skills as we encourage you to take as many reps as needed to build and in turn develop confidence as the bar builds.
Grace is your classic, short & sweet CrossFit workout. We will put an aggressive cap on this piece, so be sure the loading is appropriate. Fast at the start, fast in the middle, fast at the end. Show us what you got.
