Power Clean 2-2-2-2-2 Use the heaviest weight you can for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
65% 1RM Clean (or more) Reset at the floor between reps and rest minimally between. Refer back to day 5 and aim to complete these sets slightly heavier along with making technique improvements over your previous effort. Make sure you are still receiving the bar in a power position and don't load to a point where your form changes significantly.
Clean Pull 5x3 Use the same weight for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
95% 1RM Clean Three reps at a load that is pretty close to your max clean should provide a good challenge when it comes to maintaining consistency with each rep. Step up to it and complete these knowing how important this part of the clean is to a successful lift.

1x [ 1 Hang Snatch + 1 Overhead Squat ], pick load Every 1:30 for 15 mins.
Build over the course of the 10 sets to today’s heavy.
Snatch Pull + 2 Snatch 3-3-3 Use the heaviest weight you can for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
3x(1+2) 65-75% 1RM Snatch Utilize the snatch pull rep to prime your positions and extension for the two snatch reps that follow. Reset with the bar on the floor between each rep of the complex. Stay within the percentage range and move it well.
Snatch Lift Off 5x3 Use the same weight for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
110% 1RM Snatch Refer back to day 9 for your previous go at this movement. Remember that these are here to feel some heavier weight on the bar and gain some experience with a load that you haven't snatched (yet). This allows us to gain some adaptation and confidence at the same time. Even though these are just lift offs and not pulls with extension, visualize initiating the lift the same way you would for a snatch. Reset between reps.

Use the clean lift off to improve your ability to create tension and initiate your lift with good balance. The pull, power clean and clean that follows should have that same feeling off the floor. Reset between each rep of the complex.
Clean Lift Off + Clean Pull + Power Clean + Clean
Clean - B:

Rest as needed between sets.
3x(1+1+1+1+1+1) 55-65% 1RM Snatch
Reset any time the bar comes back to the floor or the hang. Don't rush through this complex, get the most out of each movement to strengthen as many pieces of the whole as possible. Stay within the percentage range, but go slightly heavier if you are moving well.
Snatch Pull + Snatch + Overhead Squat + Snatch Pull + Hang Snatch + Overhead Squat
Snatch Pull + Snatch + Hang Snatch + Overhead Squat : 1-1-1-1
Rest as needed between sets.
4x(1+1+1+1) 70% 1RM Snatch (or more)
Continuing from the complex above, this one is shorter and allows us to build to some heavier loads. Make sure to only do so if you are completing the snatch and hang snatch with speed and a strong lockout. Make sure your overhead squat is just as deep (if not more so) than your snatch receiving position.
Snatch Pull + Snatch + Hang Snatch + Overhead Squat
Use the same weight for each set. Rest as needed between sets. 100% 1RM Snatch
Loading at our 1RM for two pulls to improve our top end strength. Previously we have focused on our feet with pulls. Keep that up and also focus on bar position here. Visualize how you are moving your body in relation to the bar and keep that consistent, even while staying fast and explosive.

“A hero has faced it all: he need not be undefeated, but he must be undaunted.” - Andrew Bernstein
Today, we’re honoring Captain Jeff Bowen, a member of the Asheville Fire Department that died fighting a fire in 2011. We have been honored to host this event many times and are proud to stand under the Bowen Memorial Bridge which rises above us and serves us each day.
Our friends at Beer City CrossFit are hosting the Bowen Memorial WOD this year. We encourage all of you to check out their event and attend! They do a great job and all funds raised go to the Bowen family. Their event page is HERE.
We’ll be doing the same WOD today at Pisgah, and if you want to make a donation, you can just sign-up via the Beer City link, donate there, and do the WOD with us.
The “Bowen” hero WOD has been featured as a WOD on crossfit.com and the event has raised thousands of dollars over the years, which have gone directly to Capt. Bowen’s family.
