THIS IS THE LAST MORNING CREW WOD OF THE WEEK!  Friday's modified schedule will throw a monkey wrench in our plans, so come on out this morning! 

WE WILL START THE WOD AT 0540, so show up on time, get settled and quickly warmed up, because this one is a doozy! 

Donkey Kong WOD - AMRAP 30

Basic concept – much like the classic arcade game “Donkey Kong” this WOD will consist of running from floor to floor, completing obstacles along the way, with the ultimate goal of reaching the top and defeating Donkey Kong.  Since we don’t have a 500 lb. gorilla and a princess to save, we will just do some functional movements along the way.  In the allotted time you will complete as many levels of “Donkey Kong” as possible.   We will be using both the Stairway to Heaven and the ‘far stairway.’  The ‘far stairway’ is the other set of stairs that you typically come down at the end of a gym loop.  
 
Start point:  Basement of Arvin at the base of the Stairway to Heaven.  Complete 15 x burpee broad jumps and then sprint length of basement to far end of the basement to the far stairway (approximately 75 meters).  Run upstairs to first floor.

 
First floor – sprint to ’62 room and complete 15 x wall ball shots (20/14) at 10’ target. Run to Stairway to Heaven, run upstairs to the second floor.

 
Second floor – sprint to Hayes Gym, go through the tire, run across balance beam, do front roll, climb over wall, complete monkey bars, and climb rope to higher platform.  Exit out of Hayes and into the 3rd floor hallway. 

 
Third floor – sprint to the 3rd floor weight room, grab 2 x dumbbells (30 lbs. +/- 10 lbs. based on ability and availability), knock out 15 x dumbbell thrusters, return weights to rack, and then exit weight room and sprint to Stairway to Heaven, run upstairs to 4th floor.

 
Fourth floor – run into the basketball courts, go right to the end of the gym with pull-up bars, knock out 15 x burpee pull-ups.  Exit basketball courts, go right and run to the far stairwell.  Go down to start point and repeat.

See diagram below.

Announcements:  Today we will meet in the 3rd floor weight room, please show up as early as possible to claim some space!!  You will work with a partner, so pair up with someone of near equal size and ability.

Equipment needed:  Towel and motivation!

WOD:

5-5-5-5

Back squat and bench press

NOTE:  There is no time component for this WOD, focus on proper form and don't rush to failure! Take your time to warm-up and be sure to use a spotter while doing the bench press.  
NOTE2:  You and your partner can start with either the bench press or back squat and you can either alternate between bench and squats or you can do all 4 x 5 of squats and then do 4 x 5 of bench.  

Post loads for bench and squats to comments.
