Competitive training has started. As you athletes have found out, its pretty taxing on your body. You will be snatching, c&j, and squatting at least four times per week. It’s imperative that your form stays solid. Here’s a little article courtesy of Greg Everett–Catalyst Athletics, on supporting weight overhead in the snatch…

Courtesy of CrossFit One World, here is the list of the 32 skills that we will use as a benchmark for our games training.

There are 32 skills. The skills are done in order, one after another, with a five minute break after the first 16 skills.  The participants will go one after another through each skill. Each skill will be set up immediately after completion of the previous skill. If a participant fails an attempt, you get a second attempt. If you fail more than two first attempts, you do not pass that section and will then know your area of focus.

Here are the 32 skills and their standards:

1. 5 reps- front squat (155/105). Crease of hip below parallel and full hip extension at top of squat.
2. 5 reps- overhead squat (95/65). Crease of hip below parallel and full hip extension at top of squat.
