Programming 5/15 - 5/19

Monday
Strength
Overhead Squat

Complete a 7x3 with at least a 1:30 minute rest between sets. Self-directed loading today, aim for a moderate weight.

WOD – 3 rounds for time, 20 min cap
21 Deadlifts
10 Burpee Over Bar
15 Hang Power Cleans
10 Burpee Over Bar
9 Power Cleans

Rest 1:00 minute between rounds

L3: 135/95lb
L2: 115/85lb (RX)
L1: 95/65lb

Athlete Notes:
-Today we have a heavier barbell cycling workout.
-The main focus is to try and keep similar times each round. Be mindful that as you progress through the round the movements get more and more challenging.
-Aim for two sets on the Deadlifts, recover on the Burpees, two to three sets on the Hang Power Cleans, recover on the Burpees and then do whatever you can on the Power Cleans to finish strong, whether that is to do single reps or touch and go reps.
-The weight overall isn't super heavy however, the volume and the combination will be very taxing. To complete this workout under the time cap, you need to be doing a round every 6 minutes, which is certainly achievable.
-You can try to push the loading of the movements if you wish, but ensure that it’s done safely.

Tuesday
Strength
Strict Pull-Ups

10 minute EMOM

Athlete Notes:
-Today should be a focus on pulling strength as there are Kipping Pull-Ups later this week. If you don’t have a Strict Pull-Ups, you can use a band for assistance or work on your negative.

WOD – 2 rounds, 18 minutes
2:00 minutes of Max Box Jump Overs
Rest 1:00 minute
2:00 minutes of Max Shoulder To Overhead
Rest 1:00 minute
2:00 minutes of Max Toes To Bar
Rest 1:00 minute

L3: 115/75lb
L2: 95/65lb and 24/20" (RX)
L1: 65/45lb

Athlete Notes:
-Great interval style workout today. The goal for these 2:00 minute work intervals is to not sprint each, but rather try and have a consistent work-to-rest ratio at all movements.
-On the Box Jump Overs, you should just keep moving through those without stopping but on the Shoulder to Overhead & Toes To Bar, the work-to-rest ratio is more applicable. Aim for small sets of reps with the exact duration rest break and repeat that for the entire two minutes.
-What you'll find is that you will stay under your threshold and be able to hopefully accumulate more reps then you would if you opened up with a huge set.
