Mark B doing dubs during the 2017 CrossFit Games Open

Notice how upright Mark is in mid-jump. This tells us that he’s only moving his torso, legs, and head as one piece so that he can put all his focus in the twists of the wrists. Hands are fairly low, with a low grip on the handles.

Although this picture doesn’t give us the best profile view Mark’s hands are probably just forward of his body from the side.

For those who did this last time: do you have a pace to hold so you could possibly go heavier? Is there a cycling technique you’ve figured out?

CrossFit WOD for Volume Sunday 1/15

7 sets of the following complex:
high hang clean + hang clean + touch-and-go clean + push press
high hang clean + hang clean + touch-and-go clean + push jerk
high hang clean + hang clean + touch-and-go clean + split jerk

One set consists of all 12 reps. Try not to drop the bar during the entire set; if you must drop after the overhead movements, it’s allowed – just be quick to get back on the bar.

Rest as needed between sets and try to increase weight after each set. Compare to 15JAN2016
