16 Apr WOD – Wednesday 16 April 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Part A: WOD

 

3 Sets @ consistent effort (75-80% pacing)
4 Rounds of Strict Cindy*
30/24 Calorie Row/ 300m Run/ 21/15Cal AB
-rest 3 minutes between sets-

 

*Strict Cindy:
5 Strict Pull Ups/ Light band/ ring Row
10 Push Ups/ 5 x Strict Scaled
15 Air Squats

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5 – 8.0 75-80% – moderate to moderate/high intensity
Target Time each set: 4-5 minutes
Time Cap each set: 6 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This workout is aerobic with muscular endurance demands, requiring sustained effort across all three sets. The goal is consistent pacing (75-80% effort), meaning you should push but never get close to redlining—you want to maintain the same time across all sets.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! Your heart rate will be elevated, but stay controlled and never let it reach a redline state. Upper body endurance will be tested, but pacing should keep movements manageable.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Strict Pull Up: Unbroken would be great but dropping to singles is fine if its keeps you moving with intended stimulus.

Push Up: Break into 2-3 quick sets if fatigue starts to set in early.

Air Squats: Smooth and steady, don’t blow up your legs. Focus on controlling your breathing and relaxing the upper body.

Row: Approach with a moderate and steady effort, with the goal of finishing under 1:45. Breathe through the motion, and don’t death grip the handle.

 

Part B: Strength & Skill

Back Squat

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

5 Back Squat
5 Back Squat
5 Back Squat
3 Back Squat

**Start at 60% for the first set of five and then gradually build over the set. Working up to a heavy single for the day.

 

No Barbell Option:
Goblet Squat x 12-15
AB/ ROW x 30 – sec

 

 

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.

5 Sets (New set every minute)
1 Snatch @85% 1RM Snatch

 

No Barbell Option:
4+4 Alt DB snatches
30 Sec AB
x5-6 rounds

 

Part B: WOD

For Time:
50/40 Calorie Air Bike/ ROW
Total Bike seconds in Burpees to Bar (Example: If the bike takes 60 seconds, then you have 60 burpees to bar).

 

*Note: there is no time cap on the bike. Get it done. But the max number of required burpees is 100 reps (i.e. 1:40 on the bike)
**You can use Assault Bike (Harder) or Row Erg (Easier).

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 9.5-10 – 95-100% – near max to max intensity
Target Time: sub 7 minutes
Score Time for AB + row in sec. + plus total Burpee reps
Time Cap: 12 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace:  SPRINT! Into PAIN CAVE and GRIND!!! This is a high-intensity sprint workout that tests your ability to push hard on the bike while managing fatigue for a burpee-heavy finish. The faster you complete the bike, the fewer burpees you’ll have to perform, making it a strategic balance between bike intensity and burpee capacity.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Push hard but smart on the bike—if you burn out too hard, the burpees will be brutal. If you go too slow, you’ll still have a ton of burpees but will have left energy on the table.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: This will be hard to get across, but I want this fast and I want it to hurt (90%+). Without completely redlining, we want to get off in a controlled sprint (45-75 seconds).

Burpee to Target: Keep moving, that’s all we want, and it may take 10+ reps to finally get your legs somewhat back.

 

 

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.

Target Time: sub 14 minutes (5 sets)
Time Cap: 20 minutes (7 sets)

DU’s

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 3 minutes
Time Cap each set: 4 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This workout is aerobic power and engine-building, designed to push your lungs, legs, and mental grit while demanding a strong, repeatable effort every round. With one set every 5 minutes, the goal is to stay aggressive and consistent across sets..

How it should Feel: CARDIO! You should feel like you’re working hard but in control. Fatigue will kick in on the middle rounds, especially in the legs and lungs—this is where pacing discipline matters. Final set is full send!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row/Echo Bike: 80-85% to start on each machine and settle into a strong but sustainable pace. On the back half of each machine you can kick it up a notch. Sprinting too hard will crush your legs for the shuttle runs.

Shuttle Run: Stay light on your feet and push the pace here. Final push to a near sprint on the last 2-3 runs each round.

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

1 Clean Deadlift to Mid Thigh + 2 Power Clean from Mid Thigh + 1 Push Press @55% 1RM Clean

3 Rounds

5 Strict Ring Muscle Ups/ False Grip Progressions

20 Russian Push Ups
Rest 2min

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PACE: We are building strength not as much capacity, but also trying to find our threshold.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: Both strict and kipping will tax your pull and press.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Strict Ring Muscle Up: If stringing them together, go 7/10 RPE on round 1 so you have some strength left for the last round.
Russian Pushups: Keep core tight and press through the ground during turnover!

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Time Cap: 16 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! This is a gritty, high-volume, full-body workout that demands barbell efficiency, pacing through burpees, and mental toughness on wall balls. The biggest challenge will be upper body stamina and pacing, especially in the box jumps and wall balls after the heavy snatches.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Don’t burn out on snatches, stay steady on box jumps, and push the wall balls with minimal breaks! This will get grippy into heavy shoulder fatigue and ending with a leg burner, enjoy!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Snatch: Weight is moderate/heavy (under 85% 1RM Snatch) and should be approached in steady singles. Focus on utilizing a strong and aggressive leg drive on every lift. You can squat or power these today!

Box Jump Over: Keep moving at a smooth and steady pace that allows your heart rate to stay under control.

Wall Balls: Sets of 20 or more should be the goal. Don’t get caught resting longer than you work. Regardless of your sets, try to stay disciplined on how often you do a set and staying on top of the work!

 

 

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

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Be steady and controlled! Avoid redlining in the first round. Aim for consistent round times across all 3 sets. Each AMRAP is a sprint-style workout, meaning fast but controlled reps are key. Last one is all about hanging on.

How it should Feel: GASSY and GRIPPY! Sustainable, Smooth Breathing while staying in control, moving at a 85% effort without major fatigue as the rest comes before we need to slow down much.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Under: Unbroken! Deep breath every time while focusing on relaxing your arms and shoulders. Lay your rope down after every set to avoid a tangled mess.

Toes to Bar: Unbroken is the goal but break into two quick sets to avoid blowing up your grip if needed.

Burpee Pull Up: Just move! These don’t have to be quick but they need to be non-stop. Breathe through the motion.

04 Apr WOD – Friday 4 April 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Part A: WOD

10 Rounds
2 Rope Climb (OR 6 Strict Pull Up)
3 Deadlift (140/100kg)
4 Shuttle Run (25m)/ Row 150m/ Cal AB 10/7

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time: 13-15 minutes
Time Cap: 18 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! This one is about coming out with a smooth sustainable pace and hanging on to it when the rounds get tough! If your goal time is 15 minutes then simply divide by 10 and come out at 90 second rounds. Practice wise yet aggressive pacing today!

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! Those rope climbs and deadlifts will fatigue your pull, posterior chain, grip and core. Be ready for the low back to get toasty on the shuttle runs as well with all the bending and twisting. Be sure to WARM UP well to help mitigate this.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: Smooth reps with efficient descent is what we are wanting here. Don’t come out too aggressive with something you can’t hang on with in later rounds. Not wasting energy here is key.
—or Strict Pull Up

Deadlift: Heavy weight but light on the reps! Don’t use over 80% of 1RM and try to hang on for all reps unbroken as long as possible. That bounce really does help on these! (Don’t “cheat” with the bounce, but use natural momentum)

Shuttle Run: Non-stop jog pace is probably what you will do best with here. Find a rhythm and stay in it with later rounds so you don’t drop your speed drastically! Watch that clock to stay on top of it!

 

Part B: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 4 minutes.

4 Sets
6 DB x2 Box Step Up @7-8/10 RPE
3 Bench Press @70-80% 1RM Bench Press
3 Weighted Pull Up

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.

03 Apr WOD – Thursday 3 April 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Part A: WOD

* Start at 80% of 1RM and decrease in % each round

Jerks from the Rig or Floor
AMRAP 1 Minute 80% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 70-75% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 60-70% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 50-60% of 1RM

 

-rest 4 minutes-

 

Front Squats
AMRAP 1 Minute 80% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 70-75% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 60-70% of 1RM
Rest 2 minutes-
AMRAP 1 Minute 50-60% of 1RM

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 9.0 – 90% – very high intensity
Target Reps for Jerks: 25+
Minimum Reps before scaling for Jerks: 20
Target Reps for Front Squats: 25+
Minimum Reps before scaling for Front Squats: 20

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This one is all about staying working! The weights are meant to be challenging but something you can hit without failing. Aim to not start over 90% and don’t finish over 70%. Obviously you will get more reps and the weights decrease. Try to stay working as much of each minute as you can.

How it should Feel: HEAVY or LACTIC ACID PARTY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! The load relative to your 1RM will highly dictate how it feels. We want you to approach the bar with confidence and keep tension in your core for all the lifts. The lactic build up in your legs will be noticeable if you jerk correctly, and as you move into the front squats.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rack Jerk (take from blocks if available): Speed and power are king here! Use that leg drive and don’t get lazy overly relying on your shoulders. This will get you more reps and help reinforce good positions and technique.

Front Squats from Rack: Shoulders and legs will have some fatigue at this point. We recommend having a gameplan for if/when you think you will need to rack it during the minute at heavier weights vs. going for the entire minute and resting briefly while you hold the bar.

 

Part B: Finisher

3 Sets
10 Supinated Grip Dumbbell Rows @6/10 RPE
*Rest as needed between sets.

 

 

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.
