TARGET SCORE

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This workout is designed to test your core and grip endurance through vigorous hinge-dominant movements. Controlling your breathing and cadence will the key to sustaining or increasing pacing across sets.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! After the first two movements that ski/row is going to start to feel like a baseball bat to the stomach.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Sandbag Clean to Shoulder: Moderate-heavy weight where the goal should be to stay aggressive while completing 1 rep every 3-5 seconds.

GHD Sit Up: Non-stop while giving a slight pause at the top to breathe.

Ski / Row: Pacing should be moderately fast while using the first few calories to groove in. Breathe through the motion and focus on using total body. Try and finish under 1:45 for each ski/row.

Dumbbell Deadlift: Weight is on the heavier side so these will become more challenging if you aren’t keeping good form. Focus on a vertical torso and breathing.

Toes to Bar: No more than 3 sets here. It will be tough to judge where your abs are at. Regardless, stay aggressive on the sets and focus on a strong kip every rep.

 

Strength & Skill

4 Rounds

10 Strict Pullups Max Reps – maintain quality
8-10 Heavy Ring Rows
10 Standing KB Crush Grip Bicep Curl @ moderate weight – maintain quality

14 Mar WOD – Thursday 14 March 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: AMRAP 20 Minutes (at easy/moderate recovery pace)
100m Single Arm Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry (24/ 16) (each side)
32/24 Calorie Air Bike/ 480m Run/ 500m Row
100m Single Arm Kettlebell Front rack Carry (24/ 16) (each side)
32/24 Calorie Air Bike/ 480m Run/ 500m Row
100m Single Arm Kettlebell OVH Carry (24/ 16) (each side)
32/24 Calorie Air Bike/ 480m Run/ 500m Row

 

TARGET SCORE
NO target score! Just move through easily and moderately.

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This is another longer, moderate piece designed to promote recovery, create blood flow, make you sweat, and help with soreness.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! And some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Do NOT hold high intensity in this. Keep it aerobic and just stay moving.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Single Arm Kettlebell Farmer Carries : Going single arm here so make sure to keep the shoulders square and to walk in a straight line versus drifting towards which arm the dumbbell is in.

Bike/Row OR Ski/Jog: Think as close to fast pace as you can here without it completely derailing your carries.

Single Arm Kettlebell Front Rack Carry: Key here will be to find a position that is comfortable but active here for the front rack. Try to make it so that it’s not just resting on our shoulder but you are having to work to keep it there.

Single Arm Kettlebell Overhead Carry: Same idea as Farmers Carry in terms of making sure that you are staying square while only have one working arm. Keep that arm locked out actively pressing upwards.

 

Strength & Skill

Perform 1 round every 2min
DBL Reverse Lunges
30x DU’s
1 set x 10 each side
2nd set x 8 each side
3rd set x 6 each side
4th set x 4 each side
5th set x 2 each side

 

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.

Target Time each set: sub 4 minutes

How to Pace: CHALLENGE! We want you firing on all cylinders for our open workout Friday! You should be FAST within each set, but not all out. You should feel grooved in and ready to go! Intensity can hit up to 80-85% with all the built in rest and short duration.

How it should Feel: GASSY! It will just be a bit out of breath and maybe feel the burn, just as it ends. You are ready to go! The purpose today is to be game ready more than building fitness!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski or Row: Fast pace here. In and out of the machine for some power and quick aerobic work.

Dumbbells: Work for smooth movement that is unbroken for each time you pick up the dumbbells. None of these weights or rep schemes should intimidate you at all. It’s about working efficiency, transitions and positions! If they are too heavy to stay unbroken, then scale the weight.
