08 Feb WOD – Thursday 8 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD:

6-5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5-6
Thrusters (135/95)
12-10-8-6-4-2-4-6-8-10-12
Chest to Bar Pull Ups

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap: 16 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE!
The stimulus for today’s workout is high intensity. We start by working our way down on reps, and once the bottom is reached, we turn right around to climb back to the top. We are just trying to move with as few breaks as possible, not sprinting, but at a reasonable push pace that allows for a consistent workflow.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!!
It’s supposed to hurt, but don’t get baited early on with the descending rep scheme. It’s all about saving enough for a solid push on the climb back up. It comes down to managing your heart rate early on to avoid getting a Fran Attack.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Thrusters: Weight is moderate (under 70% of 1RM thruster) , sets are low enough where unbroken should be the only option. Take a second or two before starting to gather yourself and once the bar is up, there’s no putting it down until the job is done.

Chest to Bar Pull Ups: The sets may be low, but the upper body demand will take its toll with the fast turnaround. If this is a weak spot, break into two sets early. If you can manage, use the time between stations to shake your shoulders and hang on unbroken.

 

 

Strength & Skill

 

Strength A:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

10 Deadlift @ 65% 1 RM Deadlift
8 Deadlift @ 68-70% 1 RM Deadlift
6 Deadlift @ 70-73% 1 RM Deadlift
6 Deadlift @ 73-75% 1 RM Deadlift
4 Deadlift @ 85% 1 RM Deadlift

*If you have a super heavy 1 RM, use low range percentages. If you have a weaker deadlift, use higher range percentages.

 

Strength B:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

5 Bench Press @ 7.5/10 RPE
5 Bench Press @ 8/10 RPE
4 Bench Press @ 8.5/10 RPE
3 Bench Press @ 9/10 RPE
3 Bench Press @ 9.5/10 RPE

* 5x Strict L-sit PullUPs after each set

 

 

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.

07 Feb WOD – Wednesday 7 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

2 Clean Pull + 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 68% 1 RM Power Clean and Jerk
2 Clean Pull + 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 70% 1 RM Power Clean and Jerk
1 Clean Pull + 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 75% 1 RM Power Clean and Jerk
1 Clean Pull + 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 80% 1 RM Power Clean and Jerk
1 Clean Pull + 1 Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 83-85+% 1 RM Power Clean and Jerk

 

WOD: AMRAP 15 Minutes
10 Shuttle Runs (20m)
10 Deadlifts (100/70kg)
5 Wall Walks

 

TARGET SCORE
When counting reps for the unfinished round, you must complete a full shuttle run to count the rep (down 20m and back 20m). If you end in the middle of a shuttle run, that rep will not count.
Target Rounds: 4+
Minimum Rounds before Scaling: 3

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND!! Find a partner that matches up well and give this Open style of workout a go. Pacing should be moderate and consistent across each round. Be strategic on tempo and sets to avoid burning out or leaving your partner in the dust.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or CARDIO! A lot of work is done within one round. Control the pacing early so you have just a little left in the tank when the wall hits in the last 4-5 minutes.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Shuttle Runs- 1 rep is 20m: The run is completed together, so make sure you have enough room. Pacing should be moderate and used as somewhat of the recovering portion of the workout.

Deadlift: Weight is moderate (under 60% of 1RM) where all 10 reps could be completed unbroken. However, given the longevity of the workout and posterior demand it might be a good idea to break into two fast sets.

Wall Walks: Let’s push today and try to not go singles back and forth. Try to aim for at least 2+ touch-and-go reps before switching. The more time spent on transitions will hurt your score more than you know in the long run.

 

 

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.

06 Feb WOD – Tuesday 6 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: 4 Sets
10 Lateral Burpee Over Bar
20m Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges (2×50/35)
25/20 Calorie Row-Ski Erg/200m Run/ 14 Cal AB
20m Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges (2×50/35)
10 Lateral Burpee Over Bar
-rest 1:1 between sets-

 

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

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! It’s like an Open Workout broken up into sets. Take the first set a little light on the pacing to see how the heart and legs manage the workload. Then, try and increase the next two sets while selling out on the 4th.

How it should Feel: GASSY and/or MUSCULAR ENDURANCE!
It’s all about managing the leg fatigue early on to survive through the back half of the round. Your goal should not be to slow down on the second 2nd of lunges and burpees.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Lateral Burpee Over Bar: Smooth and steady! Stay low, breathe consistently and just keep moving. The goal should be sub 45 seconds each set.

Dumbbell Front Rack Lunges: Be calm on these and try to regain your breathing as you move steadily through the 50ft. Unbroken is the goal, and be sure to relax your grip.

—–if you don’t have room for 20m, complete 20 Dumbbell Front Rack Forward Lunges (total)

Bike/ Erg: Pacing should be moderate (~75%) while using the first and last few calories as a recovery. Don’t fry your legs only to have negative pacing on the back end.

 

Strength & Skill:

On a running clock, for time:
Unbroken sets of Kipping Bar Muscle Ups
9-7-5-3-1

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE: This is meant to challenge us to a 90% threshold but if we red line we will have failure for next set or have to rest too long.
How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE, GASSY: Breathing and grip strength will be taxed.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bar Muscle Ups: The sets can be combined so if you can do 9 AND 7 together then jump to rest for the set of 5, that is allowed.
The goal is to not waste reps so if you don’t rest enough before you attempt the unbroken set of 5s and you get 4 Bar Muscle Ups, you have to redo ALL 5 unbroken after you rest enough.

 

SCALING
Two Options:

OPTION #1
On a running clock, for time:
Unbroken sets of Kipping Bar Muscle Ups
4-3-2-1

 

OPTION #2
On a running clock, for time:
“Unbroken sets of Kipping Chest to Bar
9-7-5-3-1”

 

 

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.

WOD: 3 sets
480m Run/ 500m Row/ AB 30/22 Cal
75 Double Unders
10 Bar Muscle-Ups
-rest 4 minutes between sets-

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: 5-6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 7 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Grab a partner and see who will go into that dark place with you repeatedly. Communicate and strategically split up calories and reps that allow both to shine. The goal is not to beat your partner down while you look like the hero. Work together!

How it should Feel: GASSY! Push through the cardio and see if you have enough in the tank for one big set on the muscle-ups.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run: This is the only part together, so come up with a pace where both of you can push but don’t go into the ski completely gassed. The goal should be sub 2 minutes on the run.

Double Unders: Sustain a high effort.

Bar Muscle Ups: 1 set each should be the goal (10/10), but if one partner feels they need two sets, they should start first (5/10/5).

Strength & Skill
EMOM 8 Minutes
6 Power Snatches (115/80) or 45-50% 1RM Power Snatch

 

Target score
Weight/load is your score.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY. We want smooth reps that you can work on barbell technique while getting in volume.
How it should Feel: Muscular Endurance and/or Grippy & Gassy. The reps will add up and you will experience some fatigue but it should be manageable.

STIMULUS and GOALS
Power Snatches: We are working on building Power Snatch capacity at a light weight. Touch’n go reps or quick singles are acceptable today depending on what you are comfortable with at this load.

SCALING
The SCALING aim is to use a weight you can keep smooth and use the associated percentages to scale the weight down as needed!

Scaling option to finish near the target weights/percentages:

 

 

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.

01 Feb WOD – 1 February 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD:

25 Shuttle Runs (20 m)
50 Wall Balls (10/9)
50 V Ups
50 Wall Balls (10/9)
25 Shuttle Runs (20 m)

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 12 minutes
Time Cap: 15 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! The stimulus for today’s workout is moderately high pacing through these high-rep stations. We are in it for the long haul, so focus on keeping the heart rate and pacing under control early to avoid negative pacing as they get over halfway (V-Ups). Attack the wall balls.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! This is another grit and grind test for us as we build volume on wall balls. Again, challenge yourself to keep bigger sets rather than settling for smaller sets with multiple breaks.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Shuttle Runs: Down 10m and back 10m is one rep. Aim for a controlled push-pace effort here that is aggressive but not overbearing. Keep the arms loose and slow down the final 2-3 reps to prep for the wall balls. If you push the first set too hard, you will suffer tremendously through the wall balls. The last set is what every effort you have left.

Wall Balls: 1-2 sets are all we ask for here, so don’t get to the wall ball feeling sorry for yourself. Calm yourself before starting, and breathe through every rep.

V-Up: These are definitely underrated and should be approached in fast, quick sets (3-5 sets).

 

 

Strength & Skill

Strength Part A:

*Do a set every 2 minutes.
10 Romanian Deadlift (7/10 RPE)
10 Romanian Deadlift (8/10 RPE)

5 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 8.5/10 RPE
5 Wide Grip Bench Press @ 9/10

 

5 x L-sit Pronated Pullups

How to Pace: CHALLENGE!
We aim to sustain a moderately fast, repeatable pace across the five sets.This combination is designed to attack your lunges and make the high rep double unders even more challenging under heavy fatigue. It’s up to you to control your breathing early on and during the rest to survive and possibly improve times across.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Up, down, up, down is what will happen to your body and heart rate. Be careful on the first set, and then see if you can hold or improve as it goes on.

ROW/ RUN/ ERG should be approached the same from the start. Ramp it up for 2-3 calories and settle into a moderate push-pace effort (80%). . Make sure you Push all the way through on the second bike to end the set on a strong note. The goal should be sub-50 seconds

Double Unders: Unbroken, take a few seconds after the bike, get a deep breath in you, and see if it’s possible. After the set or during the break, ensure the rope is set up for the next set.

30 Jan WOD – Tuesday 30 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: AMRAP 20 Minutes
1000m Row Erg / 850 Ski Erg / 1000m Run / AB
20m Overhead Dumbbell Walking Lunge (22.5/ 15) (right arm)
20 Toes to bar
20m Overhead Dumbbell Walking Lunge (22.5/15) (left arm)
20 Lateral Burpee over Dumbbell
20 Dumbbell Snatch (22.5/15)

*Every 10m is a rep.

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 3+
Minimum Rounds before scaling: 2

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! The stimulus moderate and steady pace across. The name of this game is smartly managing breaks and transitions. Rounds are long; try to stay consistent while using the time between stations as rest. This workout is a test of strength, along with strategy, as it requires a lot more from the body than pure strength.

How it should Feel: GRIND into CARDIO! Monitor your grip and heart rate early on so similar pacing can be held across rounds and reps.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike Erg: Pacing should be moderately-high (80%+) while aiming to wind down the final 100m. Focus on relaxing your shoulders and grip while using your bodyweight to help drive down on the pedals.

Overhead Dumbbell Walking Lunge: Weight will make this challenging, but regardless the goal should be unbroken 25ft sections across all sets. Press hard through the lunge and breathe at the top of each rep.

—if you don’t have the space to complete 50ft, complete 16 Overhead Forward Lunges in place.

Toes to Bar: The goal should be 2-3 sets and we definitely recommend breaking into multiple sets sooner than later.

Burpee Over Dumbbell: Steady amd smooth pacing across these long sets. No need to go crazy only to but yourself in a cardio deficit.

Dumbbell Snatch: Heavier weight so don’t try to force an unbroken set only to be stuck over resting. Maybe 2-3 quick sets will be better for consistency.

TARGET SCORE
Target Reps each set: 15+
Minimum Reps before scaling: 7

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! You only got 3:00 minutes to get through a short, push pace row and up tempo box jump overs only to be rewarded with squats. We will alternate the ending between Overhead and front squats on every set. Regardless of the ending the pacing should aggressive and consistent across.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! Let’s be real here, this workout is going to blow your legs up. It’s up to you on how deep into that pain cave you are willing to go to get the desired score.. Stay moving with a controlled effort while using the time between movements to get a quick rest.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Distance is short and effort should be moderately fast (80%+). Don’t come out sprinting on this only to put your lungs and legs in a deficit. Slow down the final 50m and focus on breathing through each pull. The goal should be sub 55 seconds.

Box Jump Overs: Pacing needs to be aggressive through these so stay low and try to minimize pause longer than 2-3 seconds between reps.

Overhead Squats (taken from the ground), Front Squats (taken from the ground): Weight is the same for both squat portions so make sure it’s something that you feel comfortable hitting for 15+ reps. Squat Snatch or clean into the first rep, aim for a steady and consistent tempo that keeps your legs from completely blowing up.

26 Jan WOD – Friday 26 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD:

100 Double Unders
50 Thrusters (20/15)
200 Single Unders
50 Thrusters (20/15)
100 Double Unders

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 9 minutes
Time Cap: 14 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! Stimulus is high intensity. We have light thrusters paired with high-rep double and single unders. We want to challenge everyone to push and not set the bar or rope down when the first discomfort comes. Don’t settle for small sets with multiple breaks. Purposeful and consistent breathing while keeping the pace steady and not rushed will help you avoid blowing up.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Suck it up and keep fighting until the end. It is designed to take your legs and lungs, use the time between movements for longer breaks, and keep attacking.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: If you can complete these unbroken without it hindering your ability to attack the thrusters, then go for it! If you know that your heart rate will spike, then aim to break it up into 2-3 quick sets. The final set should be pushed for unbroken, or as close as possible.

Thrusters: Very lightweight here. You should be able to do 25+ unbroken when fresh, so be explosive and pause at the top of each rep for a split second, when necessary, to breathe for a moment. Be smooth through these to keep your heart rate under control.

Single Unders: These should be completed in 1-2 sets. Much less stress on the body here, so try to relax and settle into a steady rhythm.

 

Strength & Skill:

 

Part A:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

10 Deadlift @ 60-63% 1 RM Deadlift
10 Deadlift @ 63-65% 1 RM Deadlift
8 Deadlift @ 65-68% 1 RM Deadlift
8 Deadlift @ 68-70% 1 RM Deadlift
6 Deadlift @ 70-73% 1 RM Deadlift

*If you have a super heavy 1 RM, use low range percentages. If you have a weaker deadlift, use higher range percentages.

 

Part B:
*Do a set every 2 minutes.

10 Bench Press @ 6.5/10 RPE
8 Bench Press @ 7.5/10 RPE
6 Bench Press @ 8/10 RPE
4 Bench Press @ 8.5/10 RPE
2 Bench Press @ 9.5/10 RPE

x5 Pullups between each set of BP

 

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.
