Taken from two different Crossfit Invictus WODs.

Part A – Every 2 minutes for 20 minutes

  • 1-3 x Snatch Lift Off + Snatch

Build over the course of the 10 sets to something heavy. A Snatch Lift-Off is the first portion of the snatch, from the ground to the knees. Keep your torso angle consistent through all phases of this lift-off, and pause 2-seconds at the knees each lift-off. After your lift-off, reset and perform a full snatch.

  • 15 x Snatch
  • 5 x Burpees over the Barbell

Part C – Rest 5 minutes then AMRAP in 5 minutes of

Not for time do 5 sets of

  • 5 x Power Clean and Press (any type)

Increase weight each set.

Then EMOM for 9 minutes do each of the following sets.  If you cannot finish all reps in a set, rest the following minute then continue the rest of the workout with the number of reps in the highest set completed.  For example if you cannot finish set 7 in the minute, rest for minute 8 and do set 9 with 6 reps.

  • Set 1 – 1 x Power Clean @ 95lbs/43kg and 5 x TRX Pushups (TRX handles about 10-15cm off the ground, hands in the handles, feet on the floor)
  • Set 2 – 2 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 3 – 3 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 4 – 4 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 5 – 5 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 6 – 6 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 7 – 7 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 8 – 8 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 9 – 9 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups

Result:  For the first part got up to 130lbs.  Started with strict presses, last three needed a little push.  Second part started easy but the last set was hard enough after 17.1 yesterday.
