There are standard movements with equipment in the CrossFit world at the moment. If you’re given a Dynamax medicine ball you assume you’ll be doing wall ball. A pair of dumbbells/kettlebells? Probably some variation of cleans. Low rings? Dips. Boxes? Good ol’ vanilla box jumps.
Today’s goal is to get weird and try some different movement patterns and standards than usual.

We’ve been in a weird Holiday schedule the past week, and we’ll have some funky timing this week as well. If possible, let’s use a 2:00 EMOM to establish a heavy double snatch and a heavy double clean!
Powerlifters you get a gimme: max out load on one lift, max out reps on another. If you choose one for lower-body, the other has to be an upper-body lift and visa versa.
