4 minute Hollow Hold-20s on/10 off

4 minute Superman arch hold-20s on/10 off

WOD Brief:

Not a barbell insight today, time to get our sweat on, our heart rates high and move like the wind! Grab a partner, split up the ski-ing and the burpee reps however you so choose, but sprint pace is the intent here. The ski portion stays the same for the duration of the amrap with the burpees increasing by two reps after each 400m ski. Spend some time reviewing your ski technique, and plan to hit it hard. Following the wod will we get summertime fine with a core tabata of hollow holds superman holds. Static holds, as simple as they sound are hard but extremely useful exercises to build full core strength and stability.

Strength:

Tall clean 3×3

Power clean and jerk 1+1 x 4

WOD:

13.2

5 shoulder to overhead 115/75

10 deadlift 115/75

15 box Jump 24/20

AMRAP 10

WOD Brief:

Happy Monday, athletes! Starting off the week with some clean technique work, power cleans n’ jerks and a blast from the past met-con! The tall clean is an accessory/primer exercise to increase speed, technique, and confidence getting under our cleans. The intent today is to keep the weight light here and perfect technique best we are able. After we do three sets of three with the cleans, we work to a heavy power clean and jerk, keep the weight the same across all four sets and go heavy here.

13.2! The strategy for this open workout is to transition efficiently between movements and maintain a consistent pace throughout, not to kill yourself within the first 2 minutes. On the first Shoulder-to-Overhead, move directly from a power Clean into a push-press or push-jerk. After the last s2o, control the bar down to the floor (loading from the top down), and move straight into the first Deadlift. Do not drop the bar from the top, as it will bounce and you will need to wait for it to settle before pulling your first deadlift…thus wasting time. Don’t waste anytime getting onto those box jumps as this will be the brunt of the workout, catch your breath here, stay calm and crush every single minute of this wod today.

Strength:

Snatch Grip Push Press + 2 Overhead squats x 4 sets

Power Snatch build to heavy single

WOD:

“Randy”

75 Power Snatches for time (75/55)

WOD Brief:

Snatching into the weekend! We continue our snatch grip push press+overhead squat progressions. To restate from prior weeks, this is a great accessory and strength building piece to improve our shoulder strength, snatch technique and overall snatch strength. Four total working sets of one snatch grip push presses into two overhead squats. After we get through this lift we will take time to build to a max power snatch single for the day.

We are picking up the intensity today with “Randy”, in honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed in the line of duty. Strategy: Good technique from the start sets of the tone for “Randy”. Although the weight is light and we can get away with muscling through the first half, that will quickly catch up with us on the back half of this high-rep workout. Using the legs while keeping the arms straight and relaxed allows for the upper body to have gas in the tank for the last 25-30 reps. Breakup strategy is dependent on you. Some may be able to complete big sets. Some may require more breaks. Some may even be able to go unbroken. Here are a few options to think through: my favorite 21-18-15-12-9, 5 sets of 15 or even 5 sets of 10, 8-8-7. Happy Friday friends, have fun, work hard and don’t get sloppy!

“Small”

3 rounds for time

Row 1k

50 burpees

50 box jumps 24/20

Run 800m

WOD Brief:

Hero wod of the week is Small! What a doozy, but will help reduce muscle soreness and break down some of that lactic acid we have built up over the last few days. Let’s break down strategy and go!

Row: Pick a row pace and hold it for the entire workout. Hold your 5K row pace. This wod is not about round 1 or round 2, everything comes down to round 3. Hold your chosen pace on all 3 rounds, especially round 3.

Burpee:   Get off the rower and start burpees. Don’t think about it, just get your chest to the ground and up again. Unbroken with a conservative pace. Remember to breathe and not think. You will want to stop to shake out the legs, don’t, just don’t.

Box Jumps. This is a box jump workout. If your jumps are fast you will make up huge amounts of time. Stepping down or stepping up will slow you down considerably, try jump as much as possible. This workout is long.  Rest on top of the box! Resting on the floor is not suggested because it is tough starting position, it’s much better to resume your jumps from the top of the box instead of the bottom. I can not stress this enough, box jumps will make or break your workout. Push for as many jumps as you can, little to no rest, you will rest on your 800m sprint. Remember you must show control and full extension on every box jump for it to count…don’t short the range of motion, my people!

 Run: as I stated before, the runs are manageable until round 3. On round 3 you will want to walk, DON`T you only have 800m to go. Use the first 200m to get comfortable after the box jumps, and then push the pace till the end. Then high five and rejoice!

11.28.2018 

Strength:

Low hang clean+full clean+push jerk+split jerk x4 working sets

WOD:

For Time:

42-30-18

Thruster (75/55)

Deadlift (155/105)

WOD Brief:

Today we start off with a hefty little barbell complex, including four lifts per set. Working the clean both from the low hang (reinforces a speedy pull), into a full clean from the floor (reinforces power), into a quick push jerk and then rounding us out with a split jerk. Cardio lifting gains day! Take some time to work to a working weight that you can move WELL for all four lifts today, pick a few things to work on within this complex and execute from there. It may surprise you how well you can move.

Thrusters and deadlifts! A wonderful yet evil pairing…descending reps of both lifts at a light weight. The weight should be something you can move safely in LARGE sets, this is meant to burn and burn fast, so if you can only knock out three at time because it is too heavy…we’ve missed the intent. It’s high rep, high intensity, be smart, move well and let’s go! *This is a retest*
