21 Feb WOD – Wednesday 21 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

Take 15 minutes or 5 singles to build to a heavy Squat Snatch For the Day (practice making bigger jumps)

-Then-

Take 90-95% of that 1 RM and hit for 3 singles.

 

WOD: AMRAP 15 Minutes
20 Kettlebell Swings (24/16)
20m Sled Push (60/ 40), 20m KB Lunge 1x24kg
15 Kettlebell Goblet Squats (24/16)
20m Sled Push (60/ 40), 20m KB Lunge 1x24kg
10 Single-arm Kettlebell Push Press (24/16) (5 each side)
20m Sled Push (60/ 40), 20m KB Lunge 1x24kg

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 4+
Minimum Rounds before Scaling: 3

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY and GRIND! The goals are a solid grunt work workout with a moderate pace and consistent rep scheme. Try to keep round times similar without over-pacing the start. Use the time between stations for a quick break.

How it should Feel: CARDIO and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Breathing must be strongly emphasized as each station will attack your lungs. The legs and kettlebell work will work the legs substantially as well but not enough to crush you in the workout itself.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
American Kettlebell Swings: The weight selected should allow you to stay unbroken across rounds. Be overly aggressive with your hips while breathing, with a slight pause at the top of each rep.

Sled Push: Weight is moderate and should be moveable for unbroken lengths for most to all of the workout. Don’t go hard here; stay steady and keep your feet moving.

Kettlebell Goblet Squats: Same weight as the swings, same goal, unbroken! Smooth and steady while trying to avoid blowing up your legs.

Single Arm Kettlebell Push Press: Must complete all five on one arm before switching. Unbroken sets across and like the swings, be explosive with your hip drive every rep.

 

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.

20 Feb WOD – Tuesday 20 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: 4 Sets
14/11 Calorie Air Bike/ 220Run/ @250m Erg
20 Wall Balls (10/9)
50 Double Unders
Rest 3min between sets

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: sub 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 3 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Effort should be moderately high across all sets. Be aggressive on transitions, don’t get caught stopping and staring, and use the first set as a tester. Then, turn it on through the final set.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Everything is designed to attack your lungs and legs, making proceeding to the next station much more difficult. Suck it up and move!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run/ Erg/AB: Fast pace (85%+), not an all-out sprint (save it for the last), but a respectable effort that allows you to finish ideally in 30-40 seconds.

Wall Balls: Unbroken! That’s it, and there’s no other option. Take a deep breath and get right to work.

Double Unders: Unbroken is the ultimate goal. If you trip up, return to work; don’t use it as an excuse to rest. Make sure your rope is set up appropriately before starting.

 

Strength & Skill: Gymnastics

4 rounds of:
7 Wall Walk
7 (or Max) Wall Facing Handstand Push Ups [or any style] Can be Kipping Handstand Push Up Strict Box Handstand Push Up
20m Bodyweight Walking Lunge

-rest 2min-

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY: We saw this last year and want to get some practice with technique.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: Working on getting to know our threshold without going to failure.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Wall Facing HSPU
Bodyweight Walking Lunge: Giving your upper body a rest, walking lunge will force you to continue moving but allow you to reset for the harder skill.

 

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 each set: 90 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: SPRINT! We’d like each round at 85-90% effort. This one’s volume is very low on purpose. We are dialing in these movements and keeping you game ready the Open!!

How it should Feel: GASSY! This one will get you out of breath about ½ in and then it’ll be over before you know it.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Shuttle Run: You should be finding a great rhythm, transition and speed for yourself on these by this point in the season! (especially with all of our practice of them)
Work to make each round a consistent time for these
If you don’t have room to do a shuttle sprint you can perform an 8/7 calorie sprint on a machine. This should take 30 seconds or less

Burpee Box Jump Over: Nonstop here. This is a great workout to practice what “game pace” would be for these.

 

Strength & Skill:
For Time: (2 Times Through)(x2sets)
5 Clusters @ 60-65%
4 Clusters @ 70-75%
3 Clusters @ 80-85%
2 Clusters @ 85-90%
1 Clusters @ 90-95%

16 Feb WOD – Friday 16 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: 30 Min AMRAP
3 Rope Climb/ 15 Pullups
10/8 Calorie Bike Erg/ 220m Run/ 250m Row
5 Wall Walks
10/8 Calorie Bike Erg/ 220m Run/ 250m Row
15 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
20m Sled Push (80/60kg)/ 20m Walking Lunge 2x 24/16kg
25/20 Push Ups
20m Sled Push (80/60kg)/ 20m Walking Lunge 2x 24/16kg

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 4+ Rounds
Rounds Before Scaling: 3 rounds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! This is a long piece that we want you to start and crank through without feeling rushed, but without stopping often! That means learning to pace with a moderate approach from the outset and hold consistent round times. Today the intent is less about “going fast” and more about “staying steady” in the GRIND mindset!

How it should Feel: CARDIO! With some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! This should be mainly aerobic since the movements/sets are all manageable. The work will add up but should be mixed in enough for you to not have any big sticking points for long! We want solid aerobic work within these “CrossFit” movements!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: 1 rep every time so give a big jump and use the legs before the arms on the ascent.

Bike Erg: Pacing is moderate, even though it’s low calories you don’t want to blow up the legs. Focus on relaxing yours and slow down the final 2-3 calories.

Wall Walks: This is a manageable but challenging number to keep working through each round without breaking. Aim to do that and recover on the following gmachine.

Chest to Bar: 1-2 sets is all we ask for, if you can manage unbroken then go for it. Otherwise settle for 2 sets with a quick rest between.

Sled Push: It’s a heavy sled so just stay steady on these and keep grinding. The goal should be unbroken 20 yard sections.

Push Ups: Depending on how your body feels, maybe fast 5’s would be a safe bet. If these are your jam then try for unbroken without going to failure.

 

Strength & Skill:

Strength A:

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

10 Romanian Deadlift (7/10 RPE)
8 Romanian Deadlift (8/10 RPE)
6 Romanian Deadlift (9/10 RPE)

 

Strength B:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

5 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 7.5/10 RPE
5 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 8/10 RPE
3 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 8.5/10 RPE
3 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 9/10 RPE
3 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 9.5/10 RP

 

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.

15 Feb WOD – Thursday 15 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: AMRAP 7 Minutes
1 Squat Snatch (60/45)
3 Power Clean and Jerks (60/45)
5 Box Jump Overs (30/24)

 

TARGET SCORE
Rounds + Reps 8+
Minimum Rounds Before Scaling: 5

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! We want a bit of reckless abandonment here! Treat this like a 7 minute AMRAP we could see in The Open or a competition. Get really warm before and ready to stay in the PAIN CAVE for the entire workout!

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Lots of hinging and hip extension on this! Make sure your hips and low back are open and ready to go. The pain will set in about half way as you want to slow down but know the workout is short enough that there is no reason to!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Squat Snatch: Weight should be moderately-light where there is no hesitation to get right under it. Ideally this is less than 70% of your 1RM.

Clean and Jerk: Same weight as the snatch, so as soon as the bar is dropped (snatch) get right back on it for 3 quick singles.

Box Jump Overs: Height is higher than normal and legs will break down as rounds go on. Big jump every time, reset at the bottom and no rebounding. Try and finish these in under 25 seconds.

 

Strength & Skill:

 

Strength A:
SQUAT  SNATCH

Take 5 minutes or 5 singles to build to a heavy Snatch for the day. (Practice making bigger jumps)

 

Strength B:
Clean and Jerk
Take 5 minutes or 5 singles to build to a heavy Clean and Jerk for the day. (Practice making bigger jumps)

 

 

 

 

 

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.

14 Feb WOD – Wednesday 14 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill:

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

2 Snatch Pull + 2 Power Snatch @ 65% 1 RM Power Snatch
2 Snatch Pull + 2 Power Snatch @ 68% 1 RM Power Snatch
2 Snatch Pull + 1 Power Snatch @ 70% 1 RM Power Snatch
2 Snatch Pull + 1 Power Snatch @ 73-75% 1 RM Power Snatch
1 Snatch Pull + 1 Power Snatch @ 78-80% 1 RM Power Snatch

 

WOD: 6 Rounds
1 Minute Max Calorie Row
1 Minute Max Burpees
1 Minute Max Double Unders
-Rest 1 Minute-

 

Try for as many reps as possible of EACH exercise, not just total score. Post separate totals of calories rowed, burpee reps and double-under reps completed to your notes.

 

TARGET SCORE
Score = total reps
Target Reps each set: 120+ (720+ total)
Minimum Reps before scaling each set: None.

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! This is a classic Fight Gone Bad style that doesn’t quite bite as much til that last couple of rounds! It is a beautiful workout to teach and reward pacing so work to do that!

How it should Feel: CARDIO! Expect a high heart rate throughout this workout. Aim for a hard, but consistent pace on the first set and maintain that throughout. This one turns aerobic as the time domain extends beyond 15 minutes.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Pacing for the row should be moderately fast (75-80%), not a sprint. Once you reach the 50-second mark, you should begin to slow down and be ready to transition.

Burpees: Smooth and steady, intending to slow down the final 3 reps to prep for the double unders. Just stay moving, does not have to be a crazy speed.

Double Unders: Unbroken is the goal across all sets, but more than likely, you will need a break or have multiple trip-ups. This will be challenging as the heavy legs and tired lungs make jumping much more difficult. Take a deep breath before starting, and ensure to lay the rope down after each round.

 

 

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.

10 Bar Muscle Ups (unbroken)/ Chest -2-Bar
-rest 2 minutes between set-

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap each set: 10 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY and CHALLENGE! We want you to push as much as you can while holding the unbroken sets as prescribed. That means being aggressive on the bike and bag carry, then approaching the bar and hopping up as soon as you are ready, but not a moment before!

How it should Feel: GRIPPY and GASSY! The unbroken sets will fatigue your grip and upper pull making it an interesting challenge to see where the breaking point is!
The bike and carry will be a great point to rest your grip but spike the heart rate!\

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: Pacing should be moderately-fast (80%) while aiming to slow down the final 3-4 calories. The goal should be to finish around 60 seconds. Remember, Relax the hands to keep the forearms loose.

Toes to Bar: It says unbroken and that’s what we want. Take a few seconds after the bike and make sure you are ready to go before jumping to the bar. We are really challenging you today with how big of sets you can hang onto!

Farmers Carry: The weight selected should allow you to go unbroken when fresh. However, given the volume of grip it might be good to break into 2x50m sections.

Bar Muscle Ups: Like the toes to bar the standard is unbroken. Be explosive and be sure you give the arms a few seconds after the carry. Adjust reps to meet the stimulus if needed.

 

Strength & Skill

For Time:
5 Squat Cleans @ 60-65% 1 RM Clean
5 Squat Cleans @ 70-75% 1 RM Clean
5 Squat Cleans @ 80-85%1 RM Clean

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: sub 1 minute 45 seconds
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 15 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS

How it should Feel: GASSY! The legs and lungs will be burning by the end. Enjoy the rest; you will wish you had more. If you can move that sled fast enough you may even have a LACTIC ACID PARTY!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Sled Push: Weight is moderate, and effort should be steady at an up-tempo walking pace.If you need to break, try to get over the halfway point before doing so.

ROW/RUN/Ski: Pacing is moderate-fast to fast (85%+). Dial in on the pace early and push til you get the rest! Breathe through each pull and try to keep these under 70 seconds (80 for women).

08 Feb WOD – Thursday 8 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD:

6-5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6
Thrusters (135/95)
12-10-8-6-4-2-4-6-8-10-12
Chest to Bar Pull Ups

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap: 16 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE!
The stimulus for today’s workout is high intensity. We start by working our way down on reps, and once the bottom is reached, we turn right around to climb back to the top. We are just trying to move with as few breaks as possible, not sprinting, but at a reasonable push pace that allows for a consistent workflow.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!!
It’s supposed to hurt, but don’t get baited early on with the descending rep scheme. It’s all about saving enough for a solid push on the climb back up. It comes down to managing your heart rate early on to avoid getting a Fran Attack.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Thrusters: Weight is moderate (under 70% of 1RM thruster) , sets are low enough where unbroken should be the only option. Take a second or two before starting to gather yourself and once the bar is up, there’s no putting it down until the job is done.

Chest to Bar Pull Ups: The sets may be low, but the upper body demand will take its toll with the fast turnaround. If this is a weak spot, break into two sets early. If you can manage, use the time between stations to shake your shoulders and hang on unbroken.

 

 

Strength & Skill

 

Strength A:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

10 Deadlift @ 65% 1 RM Deadlift
8 Deadlift @ 68-70% 1 RM Deadlift
6 Deadlift @ 70-73% 1 RM Deadlift
6 Deadlift @ 73-75% 1 RM Deadlift
4 Deadlift @ 85% 1 RM Deadlift

*If you have a super heavy 1 RM, use low range percentages. If you have a weaker deadlift, use higher range percentages.

 

Strength B:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

5 Bench Press @ 7.5/10 RPE
5 Bench Press @ 8/10 RPE
4 Bench Press @ 8.5/10 RPE
3 Bench Press @ 9/10 RPE
3 Bench Press @ 9.5/10 RPE

* 5x Strict L-sit PullUPs after each set

 

 

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.
