STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! All the wall balls today, it’s going to be a mental test, that’s for sure. Grind through these sets and see if you can stay aggressive while avoiding over-resting, no matter how bad it hurts.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! You might have to go up a pant size after this workout. Legs will swell up; shake it out during the rest and be sure to stretch well afterward.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Wall Balls: Reps go down, but weights increase every set. Test the waters on the first time through and see if you can go unbroken. Focus on big hips and breathing through the motion while keeping transitions around 10-15 seconds. Roll the shoulders out with every throw.

 

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.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Kipping Ring Muscle Up: Unbroken would be awesome, so make it happen. Focus on relaxing your hands at the top so the grip isn’t smoked.

04 Jan WOD – Thursday 4 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: “FIGHT Gone Wrong”
(1 round = 6 minutes)
4 Rounds For Total Reps in 23 minutes

1 minute Wall Ball Shots (10/7)
1 minute Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls (BB 30/25kg) / KB SWINGS 24/16kg
100m MB Run
1 minute Push Press (BB 30/25kg) (DB 15/10kg)
1 minute Row (calories)/ 200m Run
1 minute Rest

 

Perform 1 minute of work at each of the 5 stations. Move immediately to the next station after 1 minute. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. One-minute break is allowed before repeating each round. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Score is the total cumulative number of repetitions completed of all movements in all 3 rounds.

– Beginner: 150-250 reps
– Intermediate: 250-350 reps
– Advanced: 350-450 reps
– Elite: 500+ reps

While there is often a lot of strategy and gaming in workouts like this, today we are looking to simply find a balance of constantly moving while not hitting a wall of muscular fatigue. It will be slightly different for each athlete, but the goal is to move as much as possible within each 5-minute round and save rest (to the extent possible) for the designated rest periods.

 

Rather than trying to keep track of reps at each station, athletes can keep a running count. For example, if athletes get 20 Wall Ball Shots in the first minute, they can count their first couple Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls as 21, 22, 23…and so on.

is meant to be light and fast. You should keep the intensity high so you feel breathless throughout the WOD. If you’re asking yourself what your name is after time is called, you did it right.

Most athletes should be able to stick with the interval pattern. Beginners should reduce the loading and height of the box. Intermediate athletes can handle the prescribed loading in this workout.

 

Strength & Skill
Back Squat
5 sets of 5-10 reps
@ 8/10 RPE

 

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.

DBL DB Reverse Lunges 10/10
200m Run

Lunges: Smooth, breathable walking pace that doesn’t blow up the lower body. Weight is moderately-light just to walk (not sloth-like) and focus on getting your heart rate under control.
