CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 1 minute 30 seconds.

4 Box Squat @ 60%
4 Box Squat @ 60%
4 Box Squat @ 65%
4 Box Squat @ 65%
4 Box Squat @ 70%

 

WOD: 5 Rounds
20 GHD Sit Ups
10 Strict Handstand Push Ups (OR 7 Wall Facing Strict Handstand Push Ups)

 

Target Time: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap: 12 minutes

 

How to Pace: STEADY!!
Classic, basic couplet where you either got it on handstands or you don’t. Be smart and break the handstand before they break you. Use the clock and see if you can keep consistent round times.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE!
Shake your shoulders early and often cause they will hate you.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
GHD Sit Up: These are the recovery of the workout. So if your shoulders need time, slow down your cadence and roll the arms on every rep. Stay non-stop and steady.
Strict Handstand Push Up: Goal should be 2-3 sets while the advanced should aim for 1-2 sets. The biggest thing is to not gut through any reps only to reach failure. Shake them out before it’s too late.

 

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

WOD: Partner Throwdown Thursday
AMRAP 15 Minutes
Partner 1: 20/16 Calorie Bike/ ROW
Partner 2: Sled Push / DBL KB Walking Lunges 22.5/15

*Switch after each Bike is completed. Score is sled push/ Lunge distance
Max Distance Sled Push / if you don’t have a sled you can do Dumbbell Split Lunge (switching legs every 5 reps)

**Sled Weights
Round 1 Sled: (5×25/15)

Round 3 Sled: (3×25/15)
Round 4 Sled: (2×25/15)

Round 6+ Sled: (empty)

 

Target Distance: 2000 ft+ (both partners scores combined)
Minimum Distance before Scaling: 1000ft (both partners scores combined)

 

How to Pace: STEADY!
You see the word “MAX,” and you think, all-out effort. That couldn’t be any farther from the truth. We want cosine and sustainable efforts from round to round. Don’t burn out early. While the weight descends, there is still no break for your legs. Set a pace on the bike that can be replicated and aim for a near non-stop push effort of the sled. Ensure you both are communicating when the bike is finished so the partner pushing knows when to stop.
How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! As we said above, there is no break for your legs. Grind through each round, put your work boots on, and get to stepping on the sled.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: Smooth and consistent pace. Stay upright and breathe while aiming to finish under 90 seconds every time. Slow down the final few calories to help the legs somewhat rest before the push.
Sled push: Weight starts off heavy and will decrease each round. Regardless of the weight, the pacing should remain the same throughout. Aim to keep a steady walking pace that allows for a near non-stop effort through each round.

 

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

16 Aug WOD – Wednesday 16 August 2023

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 1 minute 30 seconds.

1 Snatch Pull + 1 Power Snatch + 1 Snatch High Pull + 1 Power Snatch @ 50%
1 Snatch Pull + 1 Power Snatch + 1 Snatch High Pull + 1 Power Snatch @ 55%

1 Clean Deadlift + 1 Floating Pause Power Clean + Pause Split Jerk @ 60%
1 Clean Deadlift + 1 Floating Pause Power Clean + Pause Split Jerk @ 60%

 

*You will deadlift the bar up, and then, for the floating clean, bring the barbell back down to just above the ground (do not allow the bar to touch the ground!) and then power clean it.. Pausing in the receive for 3 seconds**

 

WOD: 3-6-9-12-15-18-21
American Kettlebell Swings (32/24)
Box Jump Overs (30/24)

 

Target Time: 8-10 minutes
Time Cap: 14 minutes

 

How to Pace: STEADY!
Ascending rep schemes are always tricky and harder to gauge. Use the first 3 rounds as a primer for your heart rate. Start and stay steady until that final big set, then swing/jump as your life depends on it. Try and keep the rest between the stations, not during.
How it should Feel: GASSY and GRIPPY! It’s pretty much all up-and-down motion. Control your breathing, and don’t get baited into over-pacing off the start with the quick sets.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Kettlebell Swings: Heavier weight, but the goal should be unbroken or dang near close to it. Be explosive with your hips and breathe at the top of each rep.
Box Jump Overs: Higher box height, so it might be a good thing so it slows your pacing down. Just be steady and take that slight pause after each rep to gather yourself and reload for the next rep.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

WOD: “Strict Lynne”
5 rounds for max reps of:
Body-weight Bench Presses
Strict Pull-ups
– rest as needed after the pull ups –
** Score Total reps Bench Press and Pullups

 

Target Reps each set: 20+ (bench and strict pull ups combined)
Minimum reps before scaling each set: 10 (bench and strict pull ups combined)

 

How to Pace: STEADY!
This workout is designed to get you to muscle failure. So expect to see a decrease in total reps as sets go on. Don’t be discouraged, it’s the nature of this workout. Just make sure you have a spotter nearby. Once the bench press is completed, give yourself 10-15 seconds before starting the pull-ups. Don’t go to absolute failure on any of the movements. Stop 2-3 reps before the struggle bus arrives, unless you feel the need to nearly empty the tank on set 5.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Arms, Chest, and pride will be shattered by the end. It’s possible that you could only complete 1 rep by the end at each.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bench Press: Bodyweight is prescribed. We ideally want this weight to allow you to complete 10+ reps when fresh. If you know you can not complete 10 reps off the start, scale the weight down. Breathe through each rep, keep your shoulders depressed back to the bench, and please have a spotter nearby.
Strict Pull-Ups: This will be a real challenge here, so be smooth and steady through the reps and gut out what’s needed but not to the point of failure.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run: Moderate fast pacing here (80%), but that does not mean go hard and sprint. Get up to a comfortable speed that you know can be held across all rounds. The goal should be sub-50 seconds.
Row: Similar to the run, get up to speed quickly and keep driving through.
Burpee Bar Muscle Ups: You only have 30 seconds here, so take that first set at a smooth and steady pace and see what you end up with. After that, adjust to keep your reps consistent or slightly increase across rounds (sub to Burpee Pull Ups).

Target Time: sub 15 minutes
Time Cap: 20 minutes

 

How to Pace: STEADY! It is all about staying moving and having a good strategy with your partner to switch when needed and keep the intensity up.
How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY and GRIPPY! The pump will be real with all the pulling and holding! We are wanting to improve and work on our upper body muscle endurance and grip capacity today!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Power Snatch: This weight should be light! And something you can hit for 10+ sets at a time when fresh.
Handstand Hold – facing away from wall: Get in a good tripod position and stay steady. We want you to hold for at least 20 seconds at a time to start. Otherwise scale down to High Plank Hold aka push up plank hold.
Machine: Aim to keep a somewhat fast pace and switch more often if needed!
Pull Up Bar Hang: Hop up and get on that hold! Don’t slow down your partner here. Aim to hold for at least 20 seconds at a time here as well. The grip pump will already be there so get a good hold on the bar and keep thumbs wrapped around your fingers to help with some extra security on the hold!

How to Pace: GRIND! Try to stay steady each round with similar pacing.
How it should Feel: CARDIO!

Sandbag Cleans to Shoulder : Try and hit 1-2 reps back and forth with an aggressive turnaround from rep to rep. Be explosive with your hips!
Synchro Burpee Over Rower: Chest on the ground together for it to be synchro, and from there, we can get up, over, and back down at different times. Pacing should be performed off the slower athlete and not pushed to put you both in cardio deficit where round times can’t be replicated.

Target Reps each set: 20+
Minimum reps before scaling each set: 12

 

How to Pace: CHALLENGE into GRIND! Aggressive pacing through the Row into a grinding effort on wall ball OR hang clean and jerks. Aim for consistent effort on the Row that allows you to get right to work on the max reps. The goal should be to have at least 50 seconds on time to accumulate reps. We are giving both movement options of doing KB Hang Clean and Jerks now some of us need to work on heavy wall balls.
How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! No matter what lift you choose, you’re going to be hurting. It’s only 4 sets, so hang in there and drive through until the end.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row Erg: Ramp up the pace off the start for the first few calories and then settle into a moderate-fast effort (80%+). Don’t sell out; wind down the final 2-3 calories before transitioning off the Row.
Wall Balls: You must breathe through the motion here and try to stay squatting. The goal should be 25+ reps every time, so don’t stand there looking at it. Pick up the ball, and get right to work.
KB Hang Clean and Jerk: Single dumbbell here, and we are alternating reps. Stay smooth and steady, and be overly explosive with your hips on each rep. Work a smooth transition to cycle reps quicker.

Kipping OR Butterfly Chest to Bar: We want you to come out with a big set! Ideally you can knock out 15-20+ to start. Don’t rush right back to the bar after the lunges. Make sure you have a good set of grips and utilize a fluid and efficient kip each rep for keeping these going!
Toes to Bar: You will have some fatigue by the time you get to these. Be sure to Keep tension in your lats and shoulders to stay active and make these snappy as well.
Single Dumbbell Overhead Walking Lunge: Get the dumbbell locked out overhead and simply move smoothly through these. We’d love a steady 100ft unbroken, but break quickly at 50ft if needed.
