2 Rounds

10 x Farmers Carry DDB/KB Reverse Lunges 2×24/16kg
10 x DB/KB Deficit Pushups
Complete 2 Rounds – then 220m Run / Row 250/ AB 16/12Cal-

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! The stimulus for today’s workout is moderate intensity with strategic sets to avoid muscle failure. This will be a slow burn as the workouts progressively become more challenging, making muscle failure more prevalent. Easy and sustainable pace for the first two workouts because the last will be all grit and grind.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! The first workout is a primer, which is just a slow beat down on the body. It’s up to you during the breaks to recover enough to survive.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Dumbbell Farmer Hold Reverse Lunge: Unbroken across all rounds is the goal. Weight should be moderately light, and there should be no hesitation or reason to stop. Practice before finding a comfortable hold that allows the shoulders/arms to relax somewhat and lets you keep a steady breathing pattern.

Deficit Pushup: allow for the majority of the sets to be completed unbroken. But a few breaks here and there early on will be your saving grace to avoid forced breaks down the road. This means you should break sooner rather than later before your arms/chest give, and then it’s too late. You have a LOT of reps here; don’t be a hero at the start, only to become a zero at the end.

 

PART B: Finisher – Core Killer

3 Rounds
Max Rep Strict Toes 2 bar
Max rep V-ups
10+10 Alt hands 2 toes

 

 

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.

30 Dec WOD – Monday 30 December 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

 

10min AMRAP

7 x Front Rack Squats BB 60/45kg / DB/KB 25/17.5kg
4 x Wall Walks
100m Run

 

PART B: WOD

4 Sets of:
500m Row/ 480m Run/ 40/36Cal AB
5 x BB Cleans 70/50kg/ DB/KB cleans 2×25/17.5kg
10 x Burpee over BB/ DB
10 x Box Jumps

 

-rest 2 minutes between sets-

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8-8.5 – 80-85% – moderate/high to 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! We can move a little faster given the amount of rest provided. Breathing and smooth transitions need to be on point while attacking each station with a consistent and sustainable pace.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Each set will feel like you can’t do another, but stay the course, recover, and fight until the end. Don’t slack the final set only to ruin your average.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Pacing here should be moderately aggressive (80-85%+) with a heavy emphasis on slowing down the final 50m. Let’s try to keep these under 1:50/2:00 and focus on using the total body and breathing through motion.

Cleans: The weight should be moderately heavy, and we want to attack each rep. Aim for little to no hesitation between reps while trying to complete 1 clean every 5-8 seconds (Sub 40 seconds).

Burpees and Box Jumps: High box is about staying moving with little to no rest during the set. Be smooth and steady while focusing, transitioning efficiently up and over the high box.

 

 

 

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.

15 Toes to bar/ Hanging Knee Raise/ V-ups/ Alt Hands 2 Toes
21 AbMat Situps

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into PAIN CAVE!! Pacing needs to be aggressive from start to finish. Aim for consistent sets and round times while keeping transitions aggressive and seamless.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY into PAIN!!! No Chalk after the first round and no feeling sorry for yourself. Just put your head down and hammer through.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run / Row: You need to get it moving quickly and settle into a moderate-fast pace where you can push at threshold but not blow up. Slow down the final 1-2 calories (that’s it) before exiting. Do not hesitate to get on and off the machine, and focus on not death gripping the handle.

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.
