Toes to Bar: Unbroken! It’s very doable, so don’t think about breaking unless it’s absolutely needed. Snappy hips on every rep!

Front Squats: The weight is moderate (ideally under 65% of 1RM), and all sets should and will be completed unbroken. Squat cleanly right into the first one, and don’t look back. Breathe through the motion and relax your grip.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Attack each set with an intensity that can be repeated or increased. Calories and reps are short enough that there should be no reason to stop or think about breaking. Transitions are where time can be made up or lost, so learn from each set and see where you can improve.

How it should Feel: GASSY! You can’t win a marathon without chaffing a few nipples. It’s going to hurt, and that’s okay.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski/Row: Get the wheels turning quickly on these with little to no hesitation on each set. Slow down the final few calories on the first station but always finish strong on the final. The goal should be to stay under 45 seconds every time.

Double Unders: Unbroken! It’s pretty simple here, ensure you lay your rope down neatly after each set.

KB Swings: The weight is heavy but not back-breaking. Stay aggressive on these while being explosive with your hip drive. Aim for one rep every five 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.

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every minute.

10 Sets
2 Back Squat @85-90% 1RM Back Squat

 

PART B: WOD

30m Single Dumbbell Overhead Walking Lunge (30/22.5kg)
30m Handstand Walk/ 6 wall walks
45 Toes to Bar

30m Handstand Walk/ 6 wall walks
45 Toes to Bar
30m Single Dumbbell Overhead Walking Lunge (30/22.5kg)

 

*switch arms on lunge every 15m

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 15 minutes
Time Cap: 22 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! It’s a chipper to end the week and this one is going to test our grit and shoulder stability. Approach with a moderate pace that you know is sustainable across these large sets. Shoulder and core endurance will be pushed so be cautious and break early on to avoid prolonged rest down the line.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! Smart, calculated sets with short rest is what we shoot for so we don’t get to the finale with nothing left.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Single Dumbbell Overhead Walking Lunge: Weight will be very heavy and it doesn’t get easier as fatigue builds. Aim for 30-45ft unbroken sections unbroken before stopping and switching arms.
—–if you don’t have the space for 30 ft section then complete as 30 reps in place

Handstand Walk: Just chip away with a steady effort through these. Don’t fry your arms and take strategic breaks at intervals as needed. We want at least 15-25ft segments to start. If you can’t go that confidently, scale the distance back so you can finish the walk under 3 minutes.

Toes to Bar: Quick sets here with the goal of completing 10+ reps at a time. Remember smooth is fast on these!

 

 

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.

11 Dec WOD – Wednesday 11 December 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

 

2 Sets
1 Snatch + 1 Overhead Squat @80-83% 1 RM Snatch

 

3 Sets
1 Snatch + 1 Overhead Squat @85-85+% 1RM Snatch

 

*All unbroken reps.

 

PART B: WOD

5 Rounds
15 GHD Sit Ups
10 Deadlifts (100/70kg)
100m Run/ 7 Cal AB/ 30DU

*Rx Sub for GHD Sit Up: 30 Abmat Sit Up.

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap: 12 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: Sustainable moderate/high intensity across the entire workout. Approach each round in a fashion that doesn’t force into excessive rest on shuttles or GHDs. Core fatigue will build across rounds. Focus on breathing and not over-pacing off the start. Then the last round you can have a slight “kick” if you paced well to that point.

How it should Feel: GASSY! With some MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Try to replicate pacing across rounds. Use the clock to stay on track and use the time between stations as rest. The core fatigue will add up and the breathing will be challenging with the lower rep schemes.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Deadlift: Weight is moderate (under 70% 1 RM) where all reps can be completed unbroken, or a quick rest in later rounds. Breathe through the motion and switch your grip up each round.

Shuttle Run: Steady pacing here with the goal to finish under 50 seconds.

GHD Sit Up: Unbroken, non-stop with purposeful breathing at the top of each rep. Be explosive with your arms and hips.

 

 

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.

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

 

2 Sets: Squat Clean
2 Clean @80-85% 1RM Clean

 

3 Sets
2 Clean @85-90% 1RM Clean

 

*Done as singles for all reps.

 

PART B: WOD

50 Dumbbell Front Squats (2×22.5/15kg)
50 Box Jumps (24/20)
-rest 3 minutes-
50 Dumbbell Shoulder to Overhead
50 Burpee Over Dumbbell
-rest 3 minutes-
25 Dumbbell Front Squats
25 Box Jumps (24/20)
-rest 2 minutes-
25 Dumbbell Shoulder to Overhead
25 Burpee Over Dumbbell

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time sets 1 and 2: 5-6 minutes
Target Time sets 3 and 4: 8 minutes
Time Cap sets 1 and 2: sub 3 minutes
Time Cap sets 3 and 4: 4 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into PAIN CAVE! Smooth and moderate pacing on the first two big set chippers off the start. The first is all lower body, and then it switches to the shoulders for the second workout. The next two workouts split in half, and we should strive for increased effort and pacing across sets and stations.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY into PAIN!! Your legs and shoulders are going to swell up pretty fast. Be careful and fight through the burn.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Dumbbell Front Squats: The dumbbell weight is moveable and should allow you to complete 25+ reps unbroken when fresh. Aim for 2 sets in the 50s and unbroken through the 25. Fight a comfortable hold that allows you to breathe and move smoothly and steadily without blowing up your quads.

Box Jump: Due to fatigue, be explosive on the first few reps and use your arms. Once you settle in, keep a steady but aggressive tempo and don’t rebound these (it’s not worth it).

Dumbbell Shoulder to Overhead: This exercise uses the same weight as the front squats but is more difficult. It will likely require 2-3+ sets the first time through and 2 sets on the final workout. You should use big hips on every press while breathing at the top.

Burpee Over Dumbbell: You can do these as facing or lateral burpees today, it is up to you. Just stay moving with an intensity that doesn’t cause a negative pace across reps.

 

 

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.
