21 Apr HOME WOD – Tuesday 21 April 2020

WodBlog | Admin

WOD Goal

Fully Loaded: The load is intended to be really heavy. Doing the sets of hang squat snatch + OH squats unbroken will be really challenging for most you. Some of you stronger athletes may be able to do your first round unbroken, but might have trouble with the rest. A reasonable amount of breaking up would be doing all the hang squat snatches unbroken, then all the OH squats unbroken. If you start off with doing sets of 1 rep at a time, the load is too heavy. Scale as needed.

Partially Loaded: Both dumbbell movements today can be awkward if you lack the ROM to move easily through the positions. This may slow you down a little. That is ok. Today is about being a little awkward, heavy feeling and hard on the shoulders.

FL and PL: Top performers, those who are able to move through each round without much breaking up of sets will be able to perform the workout around 15 min. Allow up to 20 min for most you to complete. Intensity will be relative today, given how heavy the load is for you. We are ok for you to be a little slower and struggle through today. The workout is as much a mental challenge as it is physical.

The handstand push-ups might start feeling a little harder than normal, given the high shoulder volume this workout demands. Ideally unbroken sets would be great, but after round 1, you will most likely be breaking you up two or even three times. That is fine. If you are starting out with sets lower than 3, then you should scale the movement.

Unloaded: The HSPU will be the limiting factor here today. Make sure you find a modification that will really challenge you and make you break these up into sets of roughly 3-4. The other two movements should be done quickly and unbroken. Your total time (for 5 rounds) will be around 12-14 minutes.

20 Apr HOME WOD – Monday 20 April 2020

WodBlog | Admin

A short AMRAP today to kick off the week. Monostructural combined with light lifting with low reps, calls for some high intensity! Since it is a short workout, we will spend some time in the prep piece working up to a moderately heavy load with the deadlift/hang power clean complex while working on some holds in that position. Getting some static work done with a moderate load is a good opportunity to build some strength through those movements and positions.

 

WOD Goal

 

Fully and Partially loaded: Nice and simple instructions today. Go hard for the full 10 minutes. Each round should be done unbroken; double-unders and deadlift/hang power clean and relatively fast. Top performers should aim for over 7-8 rounds, which is roughly a round every 90 seconds. Some athletes may hold a round a minute from the get go, but drop off towards the end. The majority should shoot for 6+ rounds, which is close to 2 minutes per round.

For those who struggle with stringing double-unders together, have them either count your attempts or substitute for singles. The aim is to be able to keep your DU sets short and under 15 sec, if it is taking them over 30 sec to do 20 DU, scale appropriately to match the stimulus.

Unloaded: Each round should take roughly the same as the above tracks, with maybe a little more time for those leg raises. The difference being you should be able to maintain the same speed across the workout, so have them shoot for 7+ rounds.

WARMUP

(10 min.) Warm-up with some circle running

If they have space, run around in a circle, if they don’t, have them jog on the spot.
Then, on your call, have them perform one of the movements below until you tell them to switch/go back to jogging. Switch it up and make sure you hit all the movements a few times each.
-running backwards
-shuffle sideways
–bird peckers
-bear crawl
–up and over the fence
-skipping
-high knees
* Add some of your own.

 

(10 min.) Double Under/Holds Prep – for unloaded, have them perform toe-taps here.

10 unbroken double unders + 10 sec plank hold (make it harder by taking one arm/opposite leg off ground)
20 unbroken double-unders + 20 sec plank hold
30 unbroken double-unders + 30 sec plank hold
40 unbroken double-unders + 40 sec plank hold
* Scale the double-unders to not-broken or attempts. Make sure people use this time to practise
* Go straight from the double-unders to the hold, then rest as needed after each set. It isn’t for time.

WORKOUT PREP & WORKOUT

(5-10 min.) Review barbell/dumbbell and unloaded movements as needed.

(15 min.) Workout Prep/Skill Work

18 Apr HOME WOD – Saturday 18 April 2020

WodBlog | Admin

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

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.

10+ Quad rocks
10 + Split stance rock to tall split kneel

17 Apr HOME WOD – Friday 17th April 2020

WodBlog | Admin

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.

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

WodBlog | Admin

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.

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

(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
10 DB Russian Swing
10 DB Goblet Squats
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.

Today is going to be a little more challenging on their lungs and shoulder strength. Start with the jumping jacks to kick the workout off. For the burpees, choose a target that is at least two hands above your reach to ensure you leave the ground each rep. We have prescribed 4-5 rounds. For most people, 5 should be the time frame we are aiming for!
