Monday

Pistol Squats

If you are proficient at Pistol Squats, complete a 10 minute EMOM. Otherwise, use this 10 minutes to practice technique.

WOD – 5 rounds for time, 20 min cap
15/12 Calorie on Echo Bike
12 Deadlift
9 Hang Power Cleans
6 Shoulder To Overhead

L3: 155/105lb
L2: 135/95lb (RX)
L1: 95/65lb

Athlete Notes:
-This WOD is from the Rogue Invitational.
-You should target 4:00 minutes per round to complete it under the time cap, which is certainly achievable, but make sure there isn’t too much drop off from round to round.
-Be mindful of your pace on the bike. Aim to be more aggressive on the barbell and holding on for big sets there, rather than sprinting the bike portion.

Score = Time


Tuesday
Strength
Farmers Carry

Complete 7 sets (down and back), increasing Kettlebell weight every other set. If you get to the heaviest Kettlebells (124lbs), go for distance.

WOD – 14 min AMRAP
50 Double Unders
10 Push Ups
10 Pull Ups
15 Kettlebell Swings

L3: 70/53lb
L2: 53/35lb (RX)
L1: 35/26lb

Athlete Notes:
-The goal for this workout is to accumulate between 5-7 rounds.
-The overall volume of reps on each movement isn't super large which should allow you to keep sets unbroken or at least close to it. But with that in mind, be cautious about your starting pace as 14 minutes will feel like a lot longer if you start off too hot. Aim to find a pace from the beginning that can be built upon for a strong finish.

Score = Total Rounds + Reps

-If the 200m Run is taking significantly longer than 1 minute, decrease the distance.

30 second rest after each round

L3: Strict Handstand Push-Ups
L2: As prescribed (RX)
L1: Straight Legged / Hanging Knee Raises

Athlete Notes:
-The movements will go quickly in the first part, however, once you reach the round of 15+, this workout will become more about how you can break the movements up and the stamina you have in your midline, shoulders & triceps. It will also become a very large Rowing workout towards the back end, so find a pace that you can sustain.
-If you need to scale the Handstand Push-Ups, do 1 Wall Walk for every 5 Handstand Push-Ups.
-And if your hands are still wrecked from the Open, sub in an ab movement for the Toes To Bar (e.g. Alternating V-Ups, Laying Leg Raise, etc).
-Today, we will do all the Toes Toe Bar on the left side of the room (side with the longer rig) and all the Handstand Push-Ups on the right side of the room (side with more wall space).

Athlete Notes:
-Today is a great day to consider using a slightly higher box than normal. And if you really want to push it, go considerably higher and do Box Get Overs.
-Don’t be afraid to push yourself on the Back Squat today. It should feel heavy, but just remember the volume is low.
-Consider the Bike your recovery before going back to the Squats, but still be vigilant to keep a steady pace here.

L1: 55/35lb, 75/55lb, and 95/65lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today is a great skill / capacity workout. The focus is to accumulate as many reps as possible in each AMRAP.
-You'll notice the loading of the Power Snatches is on the heavier side, however, the volume is low on all sets so the goal should be to work through those reps at a consistent pace. (Reminder, if you need to drop today, make sure you grab pads.)
-For the gymnastics work, ideally you should be scaling those reps to complete the volume each round either unbroken or within two sets maximum. The intent is that each round is a slightly harder version of the prior. Feel free to scale this movement as needed to achieve this. It may mean you start with something other than Pull-Ups and work up to that. Scaling options include: Ring Rows, Elevated Ring Rows, Jumping Pull-Ups, and Band Assisted Pull-Ups.

-Select a Barbell weight you can hold quick singles on, doing touch and go reps in the later rounds.
-For the Strict Handstand Push-Ups, scale these to ensure they're challenging but also sustainable. You can look to reduce the volume, reduce the range of motion (use a pad), or change the movement itself to ensure you're progressing your capacity in this skill (such as Kipping Handstand Push-Ups or Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups).

-This workout is very similar to Helen, however you can complete it as you see fit. Develop your own plan of attack suitable for your strengths.
-Given we have a fair amount of overhead work this week, today will be Russian Kettlebell Swings instead of American. Pick a weight that allows you to complete 15 reps unbroken in each set.
-On the Pull-Ups, aim to break these up in a way that you aren’t putting undo strain on your hands. We are in the midst of the Open, now is not the time to rip. Don’t be afraid to adjust these to Ring Rows to save your hands.
