Shoutout to all those Chiefs fans!
Yesterday wasn’t just the Super Bowl though. It was also “Chris Kyle Day”. Chris Kyle’s career as a Navy Seal, husband and father was portrayed in the movie “American Sniper”. He is known for being the deadliest sniper in U.S military history but lost his life while in the states while volunteering his time to help rehabilitate other veterans into civilian life. Today we honor him with a well deserving Hero WOD.

Percentages of your 5RM Back Squat
STIMULUS
-Working off a running clock for today’s back squat piece
-The percentages are based on your recently established 5RM Back Squat
-We’ll steadily climb in percentages across the 9 sets
-Complete the warmup sets listed below before beginning the listed working sets
*Week #1 of our newest squat cycle, where we start with higher volume at lower weights, to five heavy singles. The first four sets are completed “On the 2:00”, where we then transition to five sets of singles “On the 1:00”. We’ll be repeating this exact rep scheme next week, building upon these loads.
Body Armor
3 Giant Sets:
16 Dummbell Front Rack Step Back Lunges (Foot Elevated on bumper plate)
:30 Second Dumbbell Hollow Hold Video
Rest 2 Minutes Between Sets
STIMULUS
-Choose weights that are challenging, but allow you to complete the 16 reps without stopping
-We recommend standing on a 45# plate, but you can go higher or lower as you see fit
-The Dumbbell Hollow Hold is accumulated time and does not have to be completed unbroken
-Choose weights that allow you to complete the 30 total seconds in no less than 10 seconds at a time
-On both movements, you have the option to increase loading with each set or stay at the same challenging weight across
-Use separate sets of dumbbells for each movement, as we can likely move significantly more weight on the lunges than the hollow holds
Muscle Snatch (On the 0:00)
Build to a Moderate Set of 3
Snatch Grip Push Press (5:00-10:00)
Build to a Moderate Set of 3
Power Snatch (10:00-15:00)
Build to a Moderate Set of 3
Stimulus
-Within each short 5-minute window, let’s aim to complete somewhere between 3-5 quality sets at weights that allow for great mechanics
Conditioning
“Dead Space”
On the 5:00 x 5 Rounds:
7 Power Snatches (135/95)
15/12 Calorie Assault Bike
7 Overhead Squats (135/95)
20 x 10 Meter Shuttle Runs
STIMULUS
-Your score is the slowest of the 5 rounds
-We want rest built in to preserve intensity, so cap these rounds at 4 minutes to allow for at least 1 minute of recovery
-Choose a light-moderate barbell weight that allows for touch and go power snatches and unbroken overhead squats
-Both barbell movements are ideally performed at the same weight, unless there is a big gap between snatch and overhead squat capacity
