We divided in 2 teams, when the clock starts 1 member of each teams starts to run the bases. When you arrive at 1st base you must do 5 med ball cleans before proceeding to 2nd base. At 2nd base you must complete 10 kettlebell swings before proceeding to 3rd base. At 3rd base you must complete 15 squats before heading home. Once you reach home plate each team member will draw a card from the deck and each suite will represent a movement.

Clubs = Somersault

Spades = Dumbbell thruster

Diamonds = Pushups

Hearts = Burpees

You complete the number of each movement corresponding to the number of the card. Face card has a value of 10, aces are 11.

After you complete your movement at home plate you’ve scored 1 run, proceed to run on to 1st base.

While attending Crossfit's Olympic weightlifting certification a few months ago, I asked Coach Burgener the question... besides training the olympic lifts and progressions with barbells, what movements or types of training would he consider to be the most beneficial to improve performance in the olympic lifts. His answer....JUMPING!

Here is an excerpt from an article on Olympic weightlifting I’ll post a link to shortly

“To underscore the effectiveness of these movements, consider that in the most basic measure of raw athletic ability–the vertical jump–Olympic weight lifters excel above all others. “When I worked at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, we measured vertical jumps of athletes in nearly every sport,” says Michael Stone, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Eastern Tennessee State University. “And Olympic weight lifters had higher average jumps than all other groups–basketball players, gymnasts, sprinters, everybody.”
