HOME WOD – Thursday 1st October 2020

Today’s workout features a combination of a classic gymnastic benchmark, Cindy, with a Strongman exercise with a heavy emphasis. This combination of movements will be challenging, as the rounds of Cindy should be fast and metabolic, increasing heart rate and breathing and fatiguing the shoulders. The heavy farmer’s carries will make it challenging to breathe as the KBs or DBs will tax your shoulders and cores.

WOD Goal

Today’s workout features a combination of a classic gymnastic benchmark, Cindy, with a Strongman exercise with a heavy emphasis. This combination of movements will be challenging, as the rounds of Cindy should be fast and metabolic, increasing heart rate and breathing and fatiguing the shoulders. The heavy farmer’s carries will make it challenging to breathe as the KBs or DBs will tax your shoulders and cores.

You will perform 5 rounds of Cindy to start out. One round of Cindy is 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats. Then you perform a 200 m farmer’s carry. Upon return, you perform 4 rounds of cindy and another 200-m farmer’s carry. Repeating with 3, 2, and 1, ending in one final farmer’s carry. This is a total of 15 rounds of Cindy and 1k of farmer’s walking.

We are recommending the load be 32/24 kg (Kb) for your rx’d folk. Scale down from there. Use dumbbells if needed.

Use Cindy as a way to break up the farmer’s carries, as these will be the most challenging portion of the workout for most. These carries are much more mental than physical – encourage your athletes to hang on longer than you think you can!

The following resource talks about the benefits and the areas worked of the farmer’s carry. Use it to provide some insight to your athletes as you perform your mobility today, but also as background for your cues as you walk! Shoulders back, abs braced, and fast feet to reduce time under tension!
