Followed by…

Three sets of:
5 Kneeling Jumps
Rest 15 seconds between reps and 1-2 minutes between sets

A.
Eight sets of:
Banded Wide Foot Box Squat to 4″ Above Parallel x 2 reps
Rest 45-60 seconds between sets

**Special Notes**
-Load the bar to 70% of your 1RM and then add band tension that takes the lockout to an extra 25%.
-The focus is on standing up out of the bottom as fast as you possibly can. The purpose is not to lift heavy but to lift each rep with maximal speed.

B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 8 minutes:
3 Banded Speed Deadlifts @ 70%

**Special Note**
-Add 25% band tension at lockout.
-The focus is maximal speed on each lift. By maximal speed we mean we want you visualizing as though you were jumping with the barbell you exploded up so hard. If the bar is slowing down at all, stop or reduce the loading.

C.
Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets of):
Sets 1-3: 2 Hang Power Cleans + Power Jerk @ 70%
Sets 4-6: 1 Hang Power Clean + Power Jerk @ 80%

*See notes for gymnastics choice.

E.
Three sets of:
25 GHD Hip Extensions
25 Weighted Side Bends (each side)
Rest as needed

Athlete Notes:
Squat fast, ski faster then hang on for whichever gymnastics movement you choose. We want to give you the choice to accumulate some volume at either movement – whichever you think you need more work on. This is one of those workouts where speed is rewarded. The faster you go and the longer you hang on the sooner you’ll be done. All that said, make sure you’re going through full range of motion on those squats. Don’t shorten the reps just because you want to go faster. Also, make sure you’re alternating shoulders each round. This is training, not the CrossFit Games. Don’t create imbalances!
