HOME WOD – Thursday 28 May 2020

This one is going to be a sprint. The nature of the kick-sits and wall climbs will naturally slow you down, but the overall volume and intention is going to be a sub 5 minute workout as well.

Add load to the lunges if possible.

WOD Goal

This one is going to be a sprint. The nature of the kick-sits and wall climbs will naturally slow you down, but the overall volume and intention is going to be a sub 5 minute workout as well.

Add load to the lunges if possible.

The same goal applies. Go out hard and hang on during those wall climbs at the end. Sub 3 minutes should be the score you aim for.

* If this seems too ‘easy’, add another round!

 

25 DB Front Rack Reverse Lunge (40/25 lb.)
20 DB Power Clean
15 Hang Squat Snatch (SA)

 

Scoring

Time to complete the workout

 

Scaling

DB Reverse lunge: Reduce load to one dumbbell held in front rack.

DB Power clean: Reduce load to one SA. DB power clean. Alternate as needed.

DB SA. Hang squat snatch: Modify to a power snatch + OH squat, or simply a hang power snatch.


WOD Goal

There should be no holding back here. You should go out hard and finish strong. The movements are written from simple to complex. While you are the freshest, you have the easier movement to perform, then as you fatigue you will be faced with the squat snatches, being on the more complex side. For this reason, you will most likely need to break these up into 2 sets to get through you as quickly as possible. If you think you will need to break you up further, you should think about reducing the load.

Allow 5 minutes to complete the workout, with most of your athletes being able to finish it around 2-3 minutes.

 

Today’s intention is to get in a quick (sub 5 minute) workout to challenge the hips and lungs even further than yesterday’s workout. To take some of the strain off the lower body, you can compensate during the clean and snatch by using more ‘upper body’ to get youselves around the barbell/dumbbells.

We have our second to last session of Project Squat Better today. We will be testing some uni-lateral strength through balance and some power through the hips utilizing jumping mechanics.
