Monday 3/28
Strength / Skill
Front Squat
5 sets of 5 @ 75%-80% of front squat 1-RM
(Athletes who have not yet established a front squat 1-RM should use this time to do so)
WOD - 8 min AMRAP
10 box carry overs (53/35)
15 box jump overs
20 kb swings (53/35)
3 minute rest
5 min AMRAP
6 box carry overs (53/35)
9 box jump overs
12 kb swings (53/35)
Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: Allow up to 20 minutes for athletes to complete the work. If an athlete did not perform a baseline 1-rm last week, have them do that instead.
WOD: Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Work on an efficient turn around while doing box carry overs
2) Hold onto the kettlebell as long as possible while doing swings through grip fatigue
Tuesday
WOD - 6 rounds
400m run
10 toes to bar
15 overhead squats (75/55)
Accessory:
3 burnout sets of barbell bicep curls
Coaches Notes
WOD: 35 minute time cap. Toes to bar scale to knees to elbows, and hanging leg or knee raises. Barbells should be loaded such that athletes can complete at least 10 unbroken reps of overhead squat when fresh.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Maintain a high standard for their toes to bar scaling for all 60 reps
2) Run with a consistent pace across all rounds
Wednesday
Strength / Skill
Push Jerk
Establish push jerk 1-RM
WOD - 21 minute AMRAP
3 cleans (155/105)

300m bike
6 cleans (155/105)

600m bike
9 cleans (155/105)

900m bike
3 additional cleans and hspu and 300 additional meters on the bike each round
Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: This establishes a baseline that we will work to improve on.
WOD: Clean weight should be scaled such that athletes can do at least 3 touch and go reps when fresh.
Handstand pushups scale 1:1 with z-press and 3:1 with wall walks.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Use a heavier barbell than usual for cleans in a workout
2) Push the pace on the bike rather than use it as a rest
Thursday
Strength / Skill
Deadlifts
Work up to a Heavy Set of 3 (HSo3) deadlifts
then
6 x 1 @ 100% HSo3
WOD - 5 rounds
2:30 to do:
- 20/16 calorie row
- 12 chest to bar pull-ups
1:00 rest
Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: The heavy sets should be very challenging here. Allow up to 20 minutes for athletes to complete the heavy set and back offs.
WOD: Chest to bar pull-ups scale to kipping pull-ups or jumping pull-ups. Banded pull-ups are a viable variation, however, jumping is preferable for this workout as they allow for a quicker transition from rower to rig.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Keep the pull-ups to smaller manageable sets to avoid burnout
2) Emphasize leg drive in the row
Friday
Strength / Skill
21 minute alternating EMOM
1) 10 ring dips

Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: Take this as an opportunity to review ring dips and alternatives (banded, jumping, just holding support at the top, etc). Front rack lunges should be at a moderately challenging weight "rx" for this would be 115/75 lbs. Same barbell used for both lunges and rows.
WOD: Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Use a consistent movement pattern across all of the burpees
2) Stay mentally focused on only the next burpee, rather than the total task at hand

Coaches Notes
WOD: Wallballs should be scaled such that no round is broken up into more than three sets.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Avoid using the run portion as recovery
2) Emphasize a hard arm throw on each sit-up to increase sit-up pace
Tuesday

2) 12 good mornings
WOD - For time
Buy in: 21 ring dips
9 - 15 - 21 - 27
Box jumps
Calories on bike
Cash out: 21 ring dips
Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: In most weeks for the coming month and a half we will be setting aside time to work on the skills of gymnastic pull-ups to see if we can move more of our members off of banded/jumping pull-ups and onto unassisted pull-ups. There should be NO RING-ROWS when we are working on pull-ups in a skill section. Even for our members who are furthest away from an unassisted pull-up, make sure to set them up with jumping pull-ups or eccentric pull-ups.
WOD: 12 min time cap. Dips scale to banded or jumping ring dips. Control should be expressed at the top of all ring dips for any variation.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Chose a variation for ring dips that makes the initial set of 9 a challenge
2) Push the pace on the bike, especially to close out the workout

WOD: 18 min time cap. Toes to bar scale to knees to elbows or hanging leg/knee raises. Kb weights should be selected so athletes can complete at least 15 unbroken reps when fresh.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Maintain a high standard for their toes to bar variation through all 50 reps and take the opportunity to improve toes to bar capacity
2) Row the last 500m of the workout at the same pace as the first 500m of the workout
Thursday
Strength / Skill
8:00 to establish a Heavy Set of 3 (HSo3) push jerks

12 deadlifts (275/185)
24 push-ups
72 double unders
Coaches Notes
Strength/Skill: This is the beginning of our next secondary strength cycle of push jerks, we will take a 1-RM benchmark next week. Once athletes have established their heavy set of 3, they will do sets of one rep every :30 for 3:00, twice, with a 2 min rest in between.
WOD: Deadlifts should be scaled so athletes can complete at least 6 unbroken reps when fresh. Double unders scale to 6 sets of double under attempts + 70 single unders, 150 single unders, or 30 lateral hops over barbell.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Choose a heavier weight than usual for deadlifts in a WOD

WOD: Barbell weight should be scaled such that athletes are able to complete unbroken sets of both thrusters and snatches to start the workout.
Other than generally working faster, this workout is a success for an athlete if they:
1) Maintain consistent output throughout the entire 14 minutes
2) Are intentional about getting as deep as mobility allows at the bottom of the overhead squats, and the standing up all the way with hips extended at the top
