If you’ve ever seen an elite marathon runner in a race or a an olympic lifter move a barbell, you’ve probably awed at how effortless it looks for them. While we often think about the finer details on a movement like the snatch, dialing in our running mechanics makes a huge difference as well. Without maybe knowing it, running uphill is a perfect tool for thinking about technique. Leaning forward and picking up the feel a little quicker allows us to get up the hill quicker and more efficiently. When we get onto flat land, we can use the lessons from the hill to improve our running. Slight lean forward, feet landing under our center of mass, quick foot cadence, and minimal foot contact.

With the clean and jerk and snatch being the toughest learning challenges in the weight room, many programs avoid these because of their technicality. In CrossFit, everyone learns these movements because of how well they develop strength, power, speed, flexibility, coordination, balance, agility, and accuracy.

Using a light medicine ball is an effective way to teach the basic points of performance on the clean. Greg Glassman says, “This clean may in fact have a clearer application, that cleaning with a bar, to heaving a bag of cement into a pick-up or hucking up a toddler to put in a car seat.” This clean also delivers a killer metabolic stimulus when placed into a workout because we are able to cycle the light weight pretty quickly.

“Dip Stick”

AMRAP 15:

15 Box Jump Overs (24/20″)

12 Ring Dips

9 Power Cleans (135/95)
The reason we choose ring dips over stationary dips is the neurological factor. The instability of the rings requires more strength, accuracy, balance, and coordination. Even if we are tailoring today’s workout, jumping to support ourselves on the rings is a great option that preserve that stimulus.

Today’s workout is a team version 2014 Regionals Event 6. This “chipper” format is a classic workout structure in CrossFit. You complete each movement in order before moving to the next. This is designed so that as one movement fatigues, you move to the next one that has a different demand. There will be a cumulative effect, but the variety allows you to keep moving through for an increased metabolic effect.
