22 Jan WOD – Wednesday 22 January 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every minute.

3 Sets
1 Snatch @65-70% 1RM Snatch

3 Sets
1 Snatch @70-75% 1RM Snatch

3 Sets
1 Snatch @75-80% 1RM Snatch

3 Sets
1 Snatch (As heavy as possible)
*Don’t worry about hitting specific numbers, just hit a heavy stimulus!

 

 

PART B: WOD

3 Sets: AMRAP 6 Minutes
7 Power Snatches (50/35kg)
100m Run/ 150 Row/ 8/6Cal AB
48 Double Unders
-rest 2 minute between sets-

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high to high intensity
Target Reps each set: 268/256+ (3 rounds + Snatches and Row)
Minimum Reps before scaling each set: 237/228 (3 rounds)

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Intensity should be moderate-high. Push for a steady pace, but don’t fall off the tracks early; aim for sustainable effort across all three AMRAPs. Think about consistency: Treat the first round of each AMRAP as a “test pace” and hold that effort. Stay focused on efficiency in transitions; don’t waste time moving between movements. Use the rest period as a chance to reset mentally and physically; start the next AMRAP fresh and ready.

How it should Feel: CARDIO. The moderate barbell load, light row, and high-skill double-unders will challenge pacing and breathing without overwhelming one area.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Power Snatch: Weight is light (ideally under 60% of 1RM) where we should aim for quick singles or small touch’n go sets throughout. Be efficient with the bar path and explode with the hips on each rep.

Row/Ski: Set a sustainable pace that doesn’t put you in a cardio deficit. The goal should be to finish every round in under 50 seconds
Control your breathing here to recover from the snatches but maintain a steady output. Avoid sprinting and try for the same pace throughout.

Double Unders: Unbroken on all sets would be great. Make sure you lay your jump rope down in the easy to grab spot for easy transition in the next round.

 

 

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.

21 Jan WOD – Tuesday 21 January 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A : WOD

5 Sets
6 Shuttle Runs (15m)
12 Burpee Box Jump Over (24/20)
250m Row/ AB 16/12cal/ Run 220m
rest 3 minutes in between sets

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 2 minutes 30 seconds
Time Cap each set: 3 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Nice little anaerobic power with aerobic recovery. 85%+ effort per set. This is hard but repeatable; avoid redlining too early. The workout is designed to challenge athletes’ ability to push hard for around 3 minutes per set while recovering in the equal rest period. The focus is on maintaining consistent intensity across all sets.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Running taxes the legs, burpees hit the full body, and Ski targets pulling muscles and lungs. It’s just the right mix that hits everywhere.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Shuttle Run: Move with a purpose here with the goal to stay under 45 seconds. Quick turns and slow down the final rep before going to the burpees.

Burpee Box Jump Over: Smooth and steady with a non-stop effort. Don’t sell out and blow up your lungs, which hinders your ability to push the ski. Try and stay under 55 seconds.

Ski/Row: Get on and move with a high intensity (85%+). Breathe through the motion and use total body. No slowing down, and aim to finish under 60 seconds.

 

Part B: Strength & Skill

10 Minutes (Every minute on the minute)
Min 1-2:
3 Split Jerk
Min 3-5:
2 Split Jerk
Min 5-10:
1 Split Jerk
*Start around 55-60% and work up to 80-85%.

 

 

 

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 3 minutes 30 seconds
Time Cap each set: 4 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! All leg drive today. We want to see a steady, moderate effort across sets while trying to actively recover during the rest for a repeatable pace. Each set will take a solid amount of time, which should be enough to sustain it (hopefully).

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and LACTIC ACID PARTY!! You will be challenged to move while posterior and anterior limbs are beaten down. Breathe and move steadily, not fast, to survive to avoid blowing up.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Echo Bike: Aggressive pace (85%+) with the goal to finish under 1:45. Emphasis using your upper body with the lower and slowing down the last 2-3 calories to allow your legs a chance to wind down.

Double Dumbbell Front Rack Walking Lunge / done like Walk Through Lunge: Weight needs to be light and allow for a non-stop effort every time. We are forcing you to perform the “Step Through,” so keep a constant pump and really feel the burn.

 

PART B: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 1 minute and 15 seconds.

 

3 Sets
3 Power Clean @65-70% 1RM Power Clean

 

2 Sets
2 Power Clean @75-80% 1RM Power Clean

 

3 Sets

40m Overhead Walking Lunge with (20/15kg) bumper plate

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 9.0+ – 90%+ – very high intensity

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE!! Push yourself on this one but know it is a combination of skill and muscular endurance within conditioning that matters!

How it should Feel: SKILL into GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE!!! We are testing our ability to stay upside down then going into a classic gymnastic chipper!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Freestanding Handstand Hold: Smooth here and do what you can! Don’t force it, but find your balance and go for as big of a hold as you can in the first half of the 3 minute window if possible.

Row/ Run/ Assault Bike: Smooth in this and know the workout is not won here, but is a simple buy-in to get the party started!

Kipping Handstand Push Up: Kipping today! Work to stay smooth on this, and break earlier and more often than you think necessary. It will save your shoulders for the toes to bar and make the back half of these after the toes to bar more sustainable. Even quick sets of 5 can get these done fast. Use your kip forcefully from the beginning and it will pay off later.

Kipping Toes to Bar: Start with one big set! Know your ability. Come out with something sustainable and push yourself on the back half of these reps. Stay disciplined on the clock and try not to rest more than necessary.

Plate Overhead Walking Lunges: It’s just the bumper plate so get in a good overhead position and move smoothly with it! Try to knock out 25-50+ feet a time before breaking. You are almost home free!

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Today’s workout has us attacking sets with a high intensity with the goal of staying consistent on times and sets. Set the tone on the erg without hindering your upper body’s ability to go right into the overhead squats and muscle ups. Be sure to roll/shake your arms out during the rest.

 

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE!
Shoulders won’t get a break today; don’t say we didn’t warn you. Keep great positions and learn to push right up to failure before resting.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski: Somewhat aggressive pace (85%+) while emphasizing big hip drive and breathing through each pull. The goal should be to finish around 60 seconds while slowing down the final 2-3 calories.

Overhead Squat: Weight is light and should allow for unbroken sets across the board or at least most of the workout. Squat snatch the first rep, and keep moving. Breathe through the motion and make sure you lockout at the top.

Ring Muscle Up: Unbroken would be nice! After the squats, take a second, chalk up, and then get to work. Be kip on each rep with an aggressive turnover. If you must break, just keep the short rest and aim to finish near the target score!
