Programming 8/28 - 9/1

Monday
Skill
Handstand Push-Ups

Complete a (close to) one set max, then reduce reps to 50% and complete 6 additional sets. For those that don’t have HSPUs, use this time to work on the movement.

WOD – 3 rounds for time, 20 min cap
20 Burpee Bar Touches
30 Toes To Bar
40 Dual Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges

L3: 50/35lb
L2: 35/25lb (RX)
L1: 25/15lb and Straight Legged Raises

Athlete Notes:
-The primary objective today is to complete this workout under the time cap which will require some pacing from the start. This is a workout where we want to hold consistent round splits or perhaps even increase your effort as you work from round to round.
-The main movement you will have to scale will be the Toes To Bar. Ideally you should be aiming to complete the desired reps within 3 sets maximum each round. So pick a rep number or option that will allow for this.
-On the Dumbbell Lunges, make sure you select a load that you can complete at least 20 reps unbroken before putting the Dumbbells down.

Score = Time


Tuesday
Strength
Bench Press

Complete the following, taking a 60 second rest between sets.

3 x 3 @80%
3 x 2 @85%

WOD – 3 rounds for time, 10 min cap
15/10 Calorie Echo Bike
25 V-Ups
10 Deadlifts

Cash out: 1 mile Run

L3: 225/155lb
L2: 185/125lb (RX)
L1: 155/105lb

Athlete Notes:
-This is a very short, sharp workout today with the primary objective to complete it under the time cap.
-Be mindful of starting too fast on the Echo Bike, but you will have to keep a strong pace in order to finish on time.
-Ideally when you're looking to scale your Deadlifts, select scaling options that have you completing the desired reps within no more than 3 sets total.

Score A = WOD Time
Score B = 1 Mile Run Time


Wednesday
WOD – 4 rounds, 37 minutes
3 minutes of Rowing
1 minute of Rest
2 minutes of Wall Balls
1 minute of Rest
1 minute of KB Swings
1 minute of Rest

L3: 25/20lb WB and 70/53lb KB
L2: 20/14lb WB and 53/35lb KB (RX)
L1: 14/10lb WB and 35/26lb KB

Athlete Notes:
-Beware, it’s a trap! Even though this workout wants max reps/meters at each station, there needs to be some form of pace from the start. You will want to try and keep relatively consistent numbers from set 1 all the way to set 3.
-If you are looking for a guide, aim for 500m-750m on the Row, anywhere between 40-60 reps for Wall Balls, and about 25-30 on the Swings.

Score A = Total Row Meters
Score B = Total Wall Ball Reps
Score C = Total Burpee Reps


Thursday
Strength
Front Squat

Complete 5 sets holding at @70%-75% of your 1 rep max Front Squat:

1 Pause Front Squat
2 Front Squats
1 Pause Front Squat

Athlete Notes:
-On the pause reps, make sure you pause for a total of 2 seconds in the bottom position.
-This complex really challenges you to maintain a strong front rack position and not let your elbows drop down dramatically.

WOD – descending ladder for time, 14 min cap
18-12-9-6 of:
Power Snatches
Chest To Bar Pull-Ups

If you finish in under 10 minutes, start to climb back up the ladder.

L2: 115/75lb (RX)
L1: 95/65 and Kipping Pull-Ups or Band Assisted Pull-Ups

Athlete Notes:
-Looking at the reps today, it is 45 Power Snatches & 45 Chest To Bar Pull-Ups.
-On the Power Snatch, make sure you select a weight that is moderate to heavy. However, it shouldn’t be so heavy that you fail any reps or take large amounts of rest between reps.
-On your Chest To Bar Pull-Ups, make sure you scale them in a way that you are able to complete the desired reps within 3-4 sets maximum on each number. If you are scaling to Ring Rows, should you do 1.5x the reps (27-18-12-9).
