18 Apr HOME WOD – Saturday 18 April 2020

WOD Goal:

The workout should be done as a sprint. The wall climbs will be a little time limiting since you can’t really be done as a sprint, but the idea would be to do everything unbroken, or as close to, and as fast as you can. To achieve this, use appropriate scales. The 1 minute rest will give you a little breather before you need to go again. You should be breathing hard. Shoot for 4-5 minutes per section, giving yourself around a 11-12 minute finish.

 

A quick bodyweight press/uni-squat/press combo today for everyone! This is intended to be sub 10 minute (not including the rest) and a quick way to get some blood flow after the big week you have had. Physically, but also most likely mentally!

WARMUP

(5-10 min.) Musical Movements through zoom!

Set up 4 stations of:
Air Squats
Mountain Climbers
Jumping Jacks
Kick-sits

 

– Distribute people amongst the stations (if possible)
– You dictate the time they spend on each station by turning the music on and off. When they hear you turn the music off, they must start on the next movement as quickly as possible.
– The last person to start the next movement gets a burpee penalty 😉 OR, no penalty, just fun!
– Play for about 5+ min and try to distribute the time evenly with all the movements.

 

(5-10 min.) Mobility

10 alt. Cossack squats
10+ Quad rocks
10 + Split stance rock to tall split kneel
10 T Spine rotation and shoulder rolls

17 Apr HOME WOD – Friday 17th April 2020

WOD Goal:

The goal is to shoot for big sets as possible in those double-unders/toe-taps. If you are unable to get a lot of double-unders in a row just yet, have your focus on keeping your rest between sets short. Even if you fail the rep but it was a legitimate attempt, count it.

While you may feel exhausted during the workout from the double unders, encourage yourself to push the rows/runs and hang in there with a consistent pace for each effort. This is hard for some/most of you. Run hard when you feel good, then slow down when you are fatigued. Have yourself try to be more conservative in the first effort and you will end up rowing/running the same pace across the board.

Top performers will most likely get it done around or under 14 min. Allow yourself up to 16+/-min.

16 Apr HOME WOD – Thursday 16 April 2020

Fully and Partially Loaded:

The work to rest ratio spread is different for each section. The first 5 minutes will be about maximising your rest to get the highest load. The second 5 minutes will be about getting the 800 m done as quickly as possible and recovering for the remaining 30 sec – 1 minute you have left, and the third 5 minutes is about going all out for the full 5 minutes and getting as much work done as possible.
For the last effort, you should be able to do sets of 4-6 with your load consistently. If you are able to keep repping out 15 reps unbroken, your 15 rep max you performed earlier is not a true 15 rep max 🙂

Unloaded:

Because the design is a little different, the first and last sets should be attacked with a consistent pacing rather than all out efforts. Your first 5 minutes will likely yield more reps than your second attempt. Both push-ups and hspu are movements that hit failure relatively quickly for most folk.
You should shoot for at least into the 12th rep set for the first round and the 10th rep set for the second. See the scaling options below to get the most out of the workout.

11 Apr 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.

 

VIDEO & BOARDWARM-UPUNLOADEDPARTIALLY LOADEDFULLY LOADEDREST AND RECOVERY

Briefing video

 

Daily Board. Scaling options are in red.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARMUP

(10 min.) Run, row, skip, fast feet etc.

Perform 10 of the following:
Sit-ups
Pike Push-up
Mountain Climbers
Pulsing Air Squats
Shuttle Runs

(2 Rounds)

(10 min.) Mobility

10 Up and over the fence
10 Alt. Warrior pose
10 Sit-up to straddle
10 Sit-up to pike

(1-2 rounds)

WORKOUT PREP & WORKOUT

(10 min) Prep for the workout:

Fully and Partially loaded:

10 Kb/Db Deadlift
8 Kb/Db Russian Swing
6 Kb/Db SDHP
4 Kb/Db Goblet Squats
100 m Carry
(2 Rounds)

 

WARM DOWN ~ 5 MINS

1 min. Wall facing stretch
1 min. Sit-up to straddle – hold the top position
1 min. Sit-up to pike – hold the top position

 

10 Pike/Floor round the worlds
20 Air Squats
25 ft. Crab Walk
5 Rounds

 

Scoring

Time to complete the workout.

 

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.

30 DB Russian Swing (50/35 lb.)
30 DB Goblet Squats
100 m Vertical DB Carry
20 DB Russian Swing
20 DB Goblet Squats
150 m Vertical DB Carry

200 m Vertical DB Carry
20 DB Russian Swing
20 DB Goblet Squats
250 m Vertical DB Carry
30 DB Russian Swing
30 DB Goblet Squats

 

Scoring

Time to complete the workout.

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.

09 Apr HOME WOD – Thursday 9 April 2020

Today we have a two part workout. The first is about getting some load/volume (partially loaded) on their body and the second part is about getting sweaty and further fatiguing/working those legs in both unilateral and regular squatting.

 

WOD Goal

Fully Loaded: Go as heavy as possible with the Lunges while maintaining a good position. Focus on looking good rather than it being about how much weight you can lift. Most likely, you will fail before this becomes an issue.

Partially Loaded: Resting between rounds is going to be important for part 1. There will be a point where the loading is too heavy and no amount of resting will allow you to complete the set. That’s good! You succeeded! Ideally, no one should be able to go past 16 or 18 reps. Of course, this is dependent on your dumbbell loads, but if you get there, you would have performed 56 reps prior already!

Fully and Partially Loaded: For Part 2, use the percentages as a rough guideline (FL). If you went as heavy as you could on part 1 then the load for part 2 should be something you are able to do all 6 lunges and 4 squats unbroken with each round. You should aim for 3-4 rounds per 2 min. AMRAP. Some of you will be able to do more. Being consistent across the 3 rounds is also a good goal to have. You shouldn’t be more than 1-2 rounds off each round.

Unloaded: For part 1, find a progression that you can perform at least to the set of 12 reps. Remember, it is total reps, not 12 on each leg for example. Ensure you have enough rest before attempting your next set.

For part 2, shoot for 3-2 rounds each 2 minutes as well.

08 Apr HOME WOD – Wednesday 8 April 2020

WOD Design and Logistics

It’s like fight gone bad, but really really bad! Two minutes of any low skill, repetitive movement is tough, and all these movements specifically are all those types that when you attack them with 100%, they have the potential to really hurt. There is no rest between movements or rounds.
This version is going to be spicy today! Wall climbs into high knees are going to get them good in the lungs and the hip flexors! For the high knees, each leg high knee = 1 rep.

Scoring: Total reps for all three movements, for each round.

 

WOD Goal
Everyone: The goal is to accumulate reps, which means going as hard as each movement will allow you. For today, lean against your strengths. That means that if you know you are able to accumulate more reps on any particular movement, then, you should go harder on those and get through the others however you can.

For all movements, aim to go unbroken for at least the first minute before resting. This will be harder to do in the second round, especially for those wall climbs and high knees. They get exponentially harder with every rep when fatigued.

Unloaded: Goal reps for the majority is: for the candlesticks, 16-24 reps., for wall climbs, 10-14 reps, high knees, 100-150, and sit-ups, 40-50 reps.

Thanks to Warm Up Work Out for awesome programming!
