25 Apr WOD – Friday 25 April 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Part A: Strength & Skill

 

*Do a set every 3 minutes.

4 Sets
5 Position Pause Clean Deadlift + 3 High Hang Muscle Clean @5/10 RPE
*SKILL WORK: Meant to be with very light weight and working perfect mechanics and barbell efficiency.

 

Part B: WOD

 

For time:
40/32 Calorie Row/ Run/ AB
12 Ring Muscle Ups/ 18 BMU/ 24 Chest 2 Bar
8 Power Cleans (100/70kg)
40/32 Calorie Row/ Run/ AB
12 Ring Muscle Ups/ 18 BMU/ 24 Chest 2 Bar
8 Squat Cleans (100/70kg)

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 9.0 – 90-95% – very high to near max intensity
Target Time: sub 12 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Expect a powerful, gritty effort that will test your skill and muscle-up consistency and challenge your ability to move a heavy barbell under cumulative fatigue. Be smart about pacing and sets to avoid failure or redlining.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE with some HEAVY! This will be a total body beatdown that will push your grip and mental game to the max.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Work at a moderate push pace on both. In the first row, control your heart rate to prevent it from spiking. Focus on breathing, relaxing your grip on the ascent, and slowing down the last few calories before transitioning.

Kipping Ring Muscle Up: Break early to preserve grip and shoulder stamina. If this number unbroken is in your wheelhouse, go for it, but only if you’re confident you won’t fail reps.

Power Clean: Quick singles for consistency and to protect grip. Weight is moderately heavy to heavy (under 85% of 1RM) and will feel much tougher than normal after the muscle ups.

Squat Clean: This will likely feel MUCH HARDER than the power cleans. The Midline, legs, and CNS are more taxed now. Stick with singles and complete a rep every 5-10 seconds.

 

 

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.

Target Reps: 20-30+

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! This strength-endurance & barbell cycling under fatigue. Keep a controlled intensity (85%) for the first part, then push hard on the AMRAP.

How it should feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! Your legs and grip will be fatigued from the shuttle runs and heavy snatches, but you need to push into the AMRAP without burning out early.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Snatch: Moderate-heavy weight (under 90% of 1RM) where steady and consistent singles will be key to sustaining a consistent, non-stop effort. The second weight should be light (under 60% of 1RM), and we should still keep fast singles with a more aggressive turnaround between reps.

Target Time each set: 4-5 minutes
Time Cap each set: 6 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! This workout is aerobic with muscular endurance demands, requiring sustained effort across all three sets. The goal is consistent pacing (75-80% effort), meaning you should push but never get close to redlining—you want to maintain the same time across all sets.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! Your heart rate will be elevated, but stay controlled and never let it reach a redline state. Upper body endurance will be tested, but pacing should keep movements manageable.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Strict Pull Up: Unbroken would be great but dropping to singles is fine if its keeps you moving with intended stimulus.

Push Up: Break into 2-3 quick sets if fatigue starts to set in early.

Air Squats: Smooth and steady, don’t blow up your legs. Focus on controlling your breathing and relaxing the upper body.

Row: Approach with a moderate and steady effort, with the goal of finishing under 1:45. Breathe through the motion, and don’t death grip the handle.

Part B: WOD

For Time:
50/40 Calorie Air Bike/ ROW
Total Bike seconds in Burpees to Bar (Example: If the bike takes 60 seconds, then you have 60 burpees to bar).

 

*Note: there is no time cap on the bike. Get it done. But the max number of required burpees is 100 reps (i.e. 1:40 on the bike)
**You can use Assault Bike (Harder) or Row Erg (Easier).

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 9.5-10 – 95-100% – near max to max intensity
Target Time: sub 7 minutes
Score Time for AB + row in sec. + plus total Burpee reps
Time Cap: 12 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace:  SPRINT! Into PAIN CAVE and GRIND!!! This is a high-intensity sprint workout that tests your ability to push hard on the bike while managing fatigue for a burpee-heavy finish. The faster you complete the bike, the fewer burpees you’ll have to perform, making it a strategic balance between bike intensity and burpee capacity.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Push hard but smart on the bike—if you burn out too hard, the burpees will be brutal. If you go too slow, you’ll still have a ton of burpees but will have left energy on the table.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: This will be hard to get across, but I want this fast and I want it to hurt (90%+). Without completely redlining, we want to get off in a controlled sprint (45-75 seconds).

Burpee to Target: Keep moving, that’s all we want, and it may take 10+ reps to finally get your legs somewhat back.

 

 

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.

Burpee Bar Muscle Up: Smooth And steady with an explosive kip. Try to keep these under 30 seconds

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Part A: WOD

5 Sets

Time Cap each set: 3 minutes 45 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! This workout is strict gymnastics, midline endurance, and aerobic conditioning. The 1:1 rest ratio allows you to push hard each round, but the challenge will be maintaining strict HSPU and sit up efficiency as fatigue builds.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! Shoulder, triceps and midline will take a beating while challenging your aerobic conditioning. Control your heart rate during and shake out the arms during the rest.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski: This should be a strong but controlled pace, don’t sprint and spike your heart rate. Goal is sub 54/60 seconds.

Sit Ups / GHD Sit Up: Smooth, consistent reps—avoid excessive speed to reduce lower back fatigue. Use the total body to avoid blowing up your core.

Wall Facing Strict Handstand Push Ups: Unbroken is the goal but break into 2 sets if needed to avoid burning out your shoulders early. Stay tight in the midline—fatigue will make these harder to maintain.
