  • Conditioning:
    Four sets of:
    Box Step-Ups x 8 each leg
    (rest 30 seconds between legs)
    Rest 60 seconds
    Single-Arm Dumbbell Row x 6-8 each arm
    Rest 60 seconds

    Score weight for rows

  • WOD:
    Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
    10 Barbell Thrusters (40/25kgs)
    20 Overhead Alternating Reverse Lunges (same weight)

    Want a bigger challenge? Use dumbbells or kettlebells instead. Don’t be too ambitious with the weight, 25/15 lb DBs in each hand will likely be quite challenging.

 

  • A:
    For max reps:
    30 Seconds of Muscle-Ups
    Rest 30 seconds
    30 Seconds of Toes to Bar
    Rest 30 seconds

    40-Yard Sled Push (heavy)
    (we don’t have a sled… Bring one if you do.. else we do partner banded resistance sprints. Across the quad.)
    40-Yard Farmer’s Carry (heavy)

    Intention here is constant movement for the 12 minutes. Don’t make the loads so heavy that you cannot continue to grind…but don’t make them so light that you are sprinting and so gassed that you have to break.

    Score: weight on Farmer’s Carry

 

  • Mobility and Maintenance:
    Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

    (if you’re proficient, aim for the high end of the range, if you don’t have them yet, perform 3 reps of negatives – a 4-6 second eccentric on each rep)

    Minute 2: L-Seated Dead Hang x 30-45 seconds
    (assume the bottom of an L-Pull-Up with heels above horizontal plane of buttocks and hang from the pull-up bar holding position for 30-45 seconds)

    Minute 3: Unbroken Double-Unders x 30-40 reps

  • B:
    Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
    Split Jerk x 2 reps

    (Pause for 2 full seconds in the receiving position before recovering – make notes and adjustments to your footwork and weight distribution)

    Loads per set (by %): 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 85, 85

  • C:
    Strict Overhead Press
    Set 1: 5 reps @ 50%
    Set 2: 5 reps @ 60%
    Set 3: 5 reps @ 70%
    Set 4: 3 reps @ 85-90%
    Set 5: 3 reps @ 85-90%
    Set 6: 3 reps @ 85-90%
    Set 7: 10 reps @ 70-75%
    Rest 2 minutes between sets.
    Choose the same load for all three sets of 3 reps. The load used should be challenging to successfully press for three, but if you have more than one failed rep it is too heavy.
  • D:
    Every 6 minutes, for 24 minutes (4 sets) of:

    Run 400 Meters
    10 Alternating One-Arm KB Snatch (32/24 kgs)
    20/15 Ring Dips (ladies, 15 reps)
    Run 400 Meters

    SCORE TOTAL TIME

 

  • 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.

NEW PROGRAMMING CYCLE STARTS TODAY!!!
Get strong, and go long 2.0.

Focus will be on foundational strength and aerobic capacity. Yes, you can build both…trust the program and don’t worry if your training in the early off-season doesn’t look like the training the Games athletes are doing right now (it shouldn’t).

  • A:
    Six sets of:

    Pause Front Squat @ 24X1 + Front Squat

    Rest 2 minutes

    Perform a controlled two-second descent, then hold at the bottom for four seconds before quickly driving up to the top, then breathe, brace and perform a front squat with no tempo restrictions. Build over the course of the six sets to your heaviest set possible within the tempo guidelines.

  • B:
    Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets):
    High Hang Snatch x 2 reps @ 65-75% or your 1RM Snatch

    Pause for 2 seconds in the receiving position and ensure good weight distribution before standing with the weight.

    Goal is perfect reps, drive through the heels, finish extension, aggressive turnover and good weight distribution on receiving.

  • C:
    Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets):
    Back Squat x 3 reps @ 75-85% of 1RM
  • D:
    Four sets for max reps of:
    45 seconds of Alternating Reverse Lunges (85/55kg – back rack)
    Rest 45 seconds
    45 seconds of Supinated-Grip Strict Pull-Ups
    Rest 45 seconds
  • OPTIONAL CONDITIONING WORK:
    If you have the ability to perform two sessions in one day, and you identify yourself as someone who is stronger than they are well-conditioned, add in this optional work…preferably 3-4 hours prior to or after today’s primary work.

    Three sets of:
    Row 1500 Meters @ 80% of your 500m pace
    Rest 4-6 minutes

 

  • 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.
