Gymnastics Goat Day!
Spend a total of 30 minutes working on 2 or more gymnastics goats - handstand push-ups? muscle-ups? wall climbs? burpees?!? Whatever you need work on, get after it.
If you skipped a WOD this week, then this is a great day to make it up.

FRAN
21-15-9 for time
Thrusters (95 lbs.)
Pull-ups
Ensure you get full depth on your thrusters - remember full front squat, then explode upwards with a lock out of your arms at the top. If you need to scale the weight in order to get full range of motion and high intensity, then scale it.
Thruster video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DELc5LgHDE
There are several Fran videos on Youtube if you want to watch other people crush it.

Today we are going to take a shot at the new Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT). The APRT will soon become the Army's new assessment of physical fitness and will eventually replace the APFT once scores and standards are determined.
Meet at Shea Stadium.
APRT:
Event #1: 60-yard shuttle run (5 yard, 10 yard, and 15 yard marks): place a small wooden block at each yard mark, sprint from the start point, pick up the block at the 5 yard mark, return to start, drop block (don't throw), turn and sprint to 10 yard and repeat the process until you complete the 15 yard portion. Post total time to comments.
Event #2: 1 minute "Rower": this exercise is an abdominal/core work-out and does NOT involve a rowing machine. You have 1 min to complete as many reps as possible. If you stop at any point, your performance is terminated at the point. See article for description of the rower (http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/03/army-first-look-at-new-pt-030411w/ & http://ncosupport.com/military-training/APRT-rower.html): basically you start flat on your back, arms extended overhead, palms facing inwards, you sit-up until your feet are flat on the ground and arms are extended forward, palms inward, that's one rep. You obviously can't use your hands to grab your thighs, clothing, etc. to help pull you up. Post total reps completed to comments.
Event #3: Standing broad-jump (best of 3 attempts): You must start with your feet in line with your shoulders (no stagger steps), bend at the hips and jump forward as far as possible. Feet must land together. Distance measured from where the closest part of your body touches to the start point. Informal standard is you should be able to broad jump at least as far as you are tall (i.e. I'm 5'10" and therefore should jump at least 5'10"). Post furtherest jump out of your 3 attempts.
Event #4: 1 minute of push-ups: Knock out as many push-ups as you can in 1 minute. Unlike the APFT standard, if you stop at any point, your performance is terminated. No resting, sagging, shifting hands, etc. Post reps to comments.
Event #5: 1.5 mile run (6 laps on a 400 meter track). Run as fast as you can. Post time to comments.
That's the future of your physical fitness assessment in the Army. Standards/scores have not been determined yet, so not sure what is good, great, etc. for each event.
In addition to posting event scores, also publish your thoughts on the APRT to comments.

Pull-up and Sprint rep roller coaster.
Meet in the '62 room and then we will go up to the 4th Floor basketball court to do the WOD.
The rep scheme for today's WOD is a bit different, so let me explain. For pull-ups you will start with 5 reps, then 50 yard sprint (25 yard down & back), then go to 4 pull-ups, 40 yard sprint, and down to 1 pull-up and a 10 yard sprint. Then you work your way back up, starting at 1 pull-up w/ 10 yard sprint, then up 2/20, 3/30, 4/40, to 5/50, then back down 5/50, 4/40.....you get the point - like a roller coaster - start at top, go down, go back up, go back down, and back up.
In total you do 60 pull-ups for the work-out and sprint a total of 600 yards.
To simplify here it is:
Alternate pull-ups and sprints in the following scheme. For sprint distance multiple # of pull-ups by 10 meters.
5-4-3-2-1, 1-2-3-4-5, 5-4-3-2-1, 1-2-3-4-5
I will set up markers on the b-ball court to simplify and there are pull-up bars on the wall.

ROPE & RUN interval training. Meet in the '62 Room to stretch and then up to the 4th floor basketball courts for the WOD.
12 rounds for time:
20 double unders or 80 single unders - keep the intensity up!
75 meter sprint (entire LONGWISE length of the 4th floor b-ball gym, you cut across several B-ball courts, not just the length of 1)
Rest & repeat
NOTE 1: Rest 2x time needed for work (i.e. if it takes you 30 seconds for Round 1, rest 60 seconds prior to starting Round 2).
NOTE 2: If doing with a group, it's best to rest 60 seconds between rounds - keeps timing easier.
NOTE 3: Sprint carrying your jump rope so you can maximize efficiency of the work/rest intervals.

Notice a theme?
Here is a video of burpee power snatches (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST1MkSJHAOQ), the same general concept applies to the burpee thruster, but I couldn't find a video of the exercise. Bottomline, do a push-up on the barbell, then execute a standard thruster, that's one burpee thruster.
