CrossFit East River – WOD

Clean (Every 2:00 x 5 Sets
Power Clean + Hang Squat Clean

Complete @ 70-80% of 1RM Clean)

–

The focus here is on the technical capacity of the clean and really working to reinforce quality extension through the third pull. Focus on quick feet into the catch with a solid front rack position for Power Clean, then work to reinforce the same technical points moving into the Hang Squat Clean with a little more speed and movement into the catch.

Stimulus: Power and Speed Strength

RPE: 6/10 This should be more focused on feeling snappy and creating technical proficiency before really progressing loads.

Key focus areas:

Keeping the bar close and maintaining a quality front rack position in the catch.

Smooth off the floor and speed through the hips

Modifications:

Consider moving to Hang Power Cleans and Front Squats to develop the clean and then progress the positions in the Front Rack.

If needed move to Dumbbell Cleans for those really limited in the Front Rack positions.

Stimulus: Midline endurance, aerobic capacity, stamina under sustained tension

RPE: 7.5–8.5/10

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“Chrono Shift” is a grindy, midline-heavy AMRAP that combines wall ball stamina, unilateral dumbbell cycling, and core endurance. The workout demands steady pacing, controlled breathing, and smart partitioning to avoid major drop-offs across the 10-minute window. The goal is to move with consistency, minimize transition time, and stay composed during the bigger wall ball and sit-up sets.

Goal: 3+ Rounds

Stimulus: Aerobic stamina, midline endurance, and muscular fatigue management

RPE : 8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain as close to 3:00 a round as possible

Secondary Objective : Pick-Up the pace in the final 2:00

Key focus areas:

Manage breathing and leg fatigue on wall balls early

Stay crisp and technical on the dumbbell to avoid grip and shoulder blow-up

Treat sit-ups as fast but controlled movement, not a full recovery
