CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

3 Position Power Clean + 2 Push Jerk @ 60% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 2 Push Jerk @ 65% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 70% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 73% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 73+% 1 RM Clean and Jerk

 

WOD: AMRAP 14 Minutes
14/11 Calorie Row/ 220m Run
14 Deadlifts (80/60)
28 Crossovers

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 10+
Minimum Rounds before Scaling: 6

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! Let’s try to start and end with the same pace here. Keep each station smooth and consistent while using the time between stations as rest. Your grip is going to be under constant tension, so be smart and take calculated breaks to avoid burning out.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! Short reps with a lot of up and down will keep the heart rate elevated. It’s up to you to control it and keep your composure.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row / Run: Steady, moderate effort (70-75%) across. This almost turns into the active recovery.

Deadlift: Weight is light (-40%) where all reps could be completed unbroken. But it might be smart to break into two quick sets to save the grip. Breathe and make sure you stand up all the way.

Single Under Crossover: Depending on your skill, this could be the area where you get hung up. The goal should be 1-3 sets, so adjust if needed to avoid breaking every couple of reps.

 

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.

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.

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.
