HOME WOD – Saturday 11 April 2020

Today we have a longer grinder in store. It is Saturday after all. Wait, is it? 😉 We don’t even know anymore.

If you have worked out every day this week, today might need a little switch up. It is another shoulder burner. The plane of movement is different to yesterday, but it still requires a lot of the same muscles to work. Feel them out and how you are feeling and if you are good to go, or need a variation. Switch in good-mornings or a 100-200 m run each round.

The pike round the worlds are done 5 one direction, 5 the other.

WOD Goal

Unloaded: The Pike round the worlds are time consuming. Each rep can take up to 10 seconds, which means 10 reps will take over a minute. The air squats will be the fastest, easiest thing to get through quickly and will be a nice break from being inverted or in a supine (crab) position. If space is an issue, have yourself march for 20 crabs on the spot, or use the scaling below.

The workout is going to probably be completed pretty quickly. Add a few extra rounds if you need to! Otherwise spend the rest of the time on some much needed mobility/body work. Especially through the upper body.

WOD Goal
The loading for the Russian Swings should be light to moderate. Light for the first half of the workout and then moderate towards the end. The Goblet squats should feel light and manageable throughout. Ideally, all rounds should be done unbroken. The last two (30s and 20s) might need to be broken up a few times.

The Carries will be pretty uncomfortable, especially as they increase in distance. The last two efforts are going to feel uncomfortable and awkward. In our experience, this position is comfortable for about 50-100 m and then starts to pull the shoulders forward and causes discomfort in weird places. Try to keep the shoulders back and walk tall.

We have allowed up to 20 minutes to get it done. Depending on your load and the carries, you will most likely finish anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes.
