Let's start with some overhead squat work and then you will use your final weight on the last set of the OHS as your load for the cleans.
Overhead squat - 12-10-8
then keeping the same load on the bar, let's knock out:

Clean (full 'squat' clean - hips below parallel!!)

Today you have the option of doing the run back with the Yearlings as they return from Buckner. I'm not sure of the details yet, but typically you meet at Buckner at 0530 in the morning in IPFU with a reflective belt and you Airborne shuffle down 293 back to West Point. It's slightly downhill the whole time and it isn't a tough run, other than being 7 miles long.
If you aren't in shape yet for a long distance run or if you can't make the trip to Buckner because of time constraints. Meet up in the '62 room at 0530 and we will do an alternate WOD. Bring your swimsuit and a towel as we will swim at the end of the WOD.
WOD Option A: Buckner Run Back
WOD Option B: Bike 10 miles for time, rest , and then swim 20 lengths of the pool (500 meters) for time.

Welcome back from the weekend. I had the honor of hosting two future firebreathers are part of the Ice Cream Social. New Cadet Sam Speer (left) and New Cadet Patrick Fullam (right) are pumped up and ready to join Black and Gold once Beast ends. They will need to do a few WODs to work off all the ice cream and junk food they ate!
In the morning will start off with 10 minutes of work on progressions for muscle-ups. Afterwards, we will do the WOD.
Today's WOD looks EASY, but it is challenging!!
200 x push-ups for time (advanced)
150 x push-ups for time (intermediate)
125 x push-ups for time (beginner)
NOTE: Whenever you rest (defined as knees touching the ground), knock out 3 x strict pull-ups.
NOTE2: Scale as needed - if you need to do push-ups on your knees, that's fine, just do the pull-ups whenever you rest. Also, you can scale to kipping pull-ups, jumping pull-ups, or band assisted pull-ups if needed.
NOTE3: Don't cheat yourself! Full range of motion on the push-ups - chest touches the floor and then arms are fully locked out.
