So without further adieu…
CLASH AT THE COVE WOD TWO:
“The Ladder”
Ascend up the ladder of weights by performing the following complex:
One Power Clean, One Front Squat and One Hang Squat Clean
RX MALE
135/155/175/185/195/205/215/225
FX FEMALE
75/95/105/115/125/135/145/155
SCALED MALE
75/95/115/135/155/165/175/185
SCALED FEMALE
35/55/75/95/105/115/125/135
TIE BREAKER FRONT SQUATS:
Men RX: 155
Female RX: 105
Men Scaled: 95
Female Scaled: 65
At the start of 3-2-1 Go the athlete will have one minute to perform the complex as described above. To complete the complex, you must not drop the bar until you have completed the Squat Clean and stand with hips fully extended and elbows in front of the bar. You will have one minute to complete the complex at each weight level before ascending the ladder to the next weight. You must wait until the top of the next minute to start the next barbell. If you fail at any point in the complex, you will receive a partial point for whichever lift you finished. For example, if the athlete successfully completes the power clean they get a 1/3 of a point at the weight, if they also get the front squat they get another 1/3rd of one point.
Immediately following your last rep each athlete has the opportunity to do Max Effort Front Squats for one minute as a tie-breaker. If you cannot clean and front squat the tie-breaker weight of the last movement (and any partial points) you were able to successfully complete will be your final score for this event. Scaled athletes do NOT need to break parallel on the Squat Clean (a Power Clean is permitted) but must reach full depth in their Front Squat. Games and Open standards for each movement apply and will be reviewed at the event.
HELP US HELP YOU!
PLEASE FILL OUT THE COVE SURVEY
We are constantly trying to improve what we do here and and we cannot do that without input from YOU! In an effort to create the best gym for you and your fellow athletes we would love to get some critical and candid feedback. We have developed a survey that asks a broad range of questions from class schedules to gym culture. This survey should only take 5-10 minutes (maybe 12 if you have a lot to add in the open ended questions). Within this survey you will also see individual questions for each coach as we know the quality of coaching is probably THE number one reason people join a gym. Your honest feedback is critical, so this survey is ENTIRELY anonymous. If we are going to grow and keep the interests of our members at the forefront, want to know it ALL! Thank you advance for your time AND constructive feedback!
