Strategy for 13.4 - CrossFit Binghamton athletes

Breaking this down into a few groups for OUR athletes.

1 -  I have never clean and jerked 135/95 and don't think I can.
No problem we will take about 65% of your 1RM and you will still get a good workout in. You won't have a score to submit for 13.4 but think about how satisfying it will be when you do achieve this down the road!

 2 - I can Clean and Jerk 135/95 but it is tough and my 1RM is only 25 lbs or less more than that.
Treat every rep like a 1RM attempt, set up perfect, separate the clean and jerk and get through them in singles. Your effort will be slow methodical and precise. The goal is to not miss ANY clean and jerks. Then go to the toes to bar and stay away from redline and failure because you will need all that energy when you get back to the bar. First 3-4 minutes are slow and methodical. If you feel you can move a bit quicker do so but stay away from that redline.

 3 I can clean and jerk the weight but can't do toes to bar.  Again no worries do the CJ then we will substitute hanging leg raises and you can move through the workout. Your score will be capped at 3 reps but you will still get a good workout in.

4- I can clean and jerk the weight and my 1RM is ~30 lbs to 55lbs more than the Rx'd weight. Fast singles moving quickly. There is no need to go TnG as this weight will get heavy and you wouldn't be able to keep up the pace of fast singles for the whole 7 minutes so don't burn out early.

5- This weight is light for me and I have a sub 3:30 Grace. This is NOT a sprint.  Go ahead and do TnG for your rounds of 3 and 6. After this stay with short sets of TnG or fast singles. Be smart on the T2B and stay away from failure.  If you are going to exceed 75 reps on this WOD your grip will get smoked.


Best of luck to all our athletes and first and foremost have fun.
