HOME WOD – Saturday 16 May 2020
Focusing more on static holds and dynamic movements like burpees and object jumps. The intention of high work output, short rest is still the same. This is going to be a fun one! Same penalty applies for the holds as above. Take 2 reps off every time they break a hold within the 20 sec.

Burpee: Scale to a kick-back if needed.
WOD Goal & Logistics
A slight variation on the above workout, focusing more on static holds and dynamic movements like burpees and object jumps. The intention of high work output, short rest is still the same. This is going to be a fun one! Same penalty applies for the holds as above. Take 2 reps off every time you break a hold within the 20 sec.
Aim to hold without breaking for both the holds. Then, for the jumps and burpees to keep moving the whole 20 sec.
Each set! Shoot for 15+ jumps and 6+ burpees per 20 sec. effort.
TABATA
db Alt. SA Thruster
db Farmers Walk/March+Hold
db Slam
db Burpee
* (50/35 lb.)
Scoring
Total reps across all tabata (not holds)
Scaling
All movements: Scale the load to using one dumb bell for the burpees, thrusters and carries. Switching sides as needed. For the slams, modify to a single db devils press (no burpee) or russian swing.
WOD Goal & Logistics
Find a consistent pace from the beginning and try to maintain this across the whole round of thrusters and slams.
That means trying to hit the same number every 20 sec. You are not expected to be able to do the carry/holds without needing to put the
dumbbells down. We recommend you try hang on for as long as you can before needing to put them down, since after the first time you
do, you will feel the need to put them down more often. Once you do put them down, you are only allowed a 5 sec. max period before
you must pick it back up again. By the time you get to the burpees, your grip will be fatigued and you will be breathing hard, it is 4 more
minutes of work, anything goes at this point, give it all you got!
For the other movements, aim for at least 6+ reps per 20 sec.
Oh dumbbells, you terribly brilliant pieces of equipment 🙂 Each movement will be a total of 8 rounds of tabata. 20 sec. work/10 sec. rest
x 8. There is no rest between movements, you go straight into the next movement. For the DB slams, you use one dumbbell.
Today, grip is really the biggest test and challenge you will face. For the tabata sets of carry and hold, you need to carry the dumbbells in a farmer’s carry/march for 20 seconds, then your 10 seconds rest is them holding the dumbbells by your side.
* If you have no space to perform the farmers walk, perform them as a march in place instead.
There is a penalty for putting the dumbbells down during the carry/hold sets. Every time you put them on the ground, you need to deduct
2 reps off your total score. You need to walk during the carry portion.
NOTE: You can put the dumbbells down during the set of thrusters/slams/burpee whenever you want. There is no penalty.
For the thrusters, similar to the SA. Alt. push press earlier in the week, you hold two dumbbells but alternate the pressing portion with
each arm. For the burpee, you keep the dumbbells in your hands when you stand up from the push-up portion.
