TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7 – 70% – moderate intensity
Target Time each set: 5-6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 6 minutes 30 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Stimulus is moderate to moderate intensity. Aim to score a similar time on each set and should be earning 1.5-2+ minutes of rest each set. Adjust volume and weight to hit this target earned rest.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! Be aggressive and then settle into a steady pace through the 2 sets.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: You can not waste too much time here so try and get right to work. Your goal should be 1 climb every 15 seconds or so.

Overhead Squat: Weight needs to be light (ideally under 45% 1RM) where all sets can be completed unbroken without hesitation.

Bike Erg: Push, but be cautious to not blow up your heart rate and legs. Try to keep these under 60 seconds while focusing on leaning into your arms and slowing down the final 100m.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Short and fast aggressive sets here that will challenge your skill, core, and breathing. Use the first time to test out the combo and then see if you can maintain or increase efforts to the finish line.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! It’s all pull and core, so be smart about not selling out too quickly only to reach failure or prolonged rest on sets.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
GHD Sit Up: Non-stop and steady effort with purposeful pausing and breathing at the top of each rep.

Kipping Ring Muscle Up: Unbroken is the standard, so make it happen and be overly aggressive with your hip drive on the kip.

Squat Snatch: Smooth and steady singles across all sets is the goal. Unless you got it in you to go unbroken, but I wouldn’t pull the rabbit out the hat until the final set.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into a LACTIC ACID PARTY! Push the pace, but be strategic about effort and sets early to ensure you save enough energy for an increased intensity on the final.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and GASSY! It’s all about staying moving and how mentally tough you are. Go into that pain cave!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Wall Balls: Unbroken is the aim today! Take a few seconds before starting each set and breathe through the motion.

Burpee Box Jump Over: Smooth and steady through the first two sets, and on 3rd of each workout, we should see the tempo pick up for a strong finish.

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.

PART B: WOD

Partner Workout: one person on a rower at a time
7 Sets
500m Row
70 Double Unders
-rest 30 seconds after each set-
*Score total time with rest.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 80% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 26 minutes
Time Cap: 32 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Find a partner, turn on some good tunes, and get ready to go to work. Let’s try to hold a moderate-aggressive pace that’s sustainable. Be strategic about pacing that allows both partners to sustain the intended stimulus. Once you decide to switch, you must complete 70 double unders before you can get back on the rower.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! In and out and up and down, it sounds like your heart rate is bouncing around like you are in the club. Control your breathing and be ready to work when your name is called.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row: Whether you go time or distance back and forth, just make sure it’s enough of a break from double unders to be completed and get a little rest before switching. 60 seconds or 300/250m back and forth can be a good strategy.

Double Unders: Unbroken is the obvious answer, but if you have some time to spare then maybe a quick break to keep your heart rate under control.

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.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7.5-8.0 – 75-80% – moderate intensity
Target Time each set: sub 7 minutes
Time Cap each set: 10 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! It’s a solid pull/push combo. Both workouts have the same volume of work, but how they are broken down just hits differently. Both should be approached moderately, while the first should aim for consistent sets and round times across the board. The second workout may start a little slower on the tempo and then start to pick up the pace after the first two rounds.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Arms are always holding something, so be mindful of when to break and stay loose during the rest.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Sandbag Clean to Shoulder: Moveable weight on the bag, so be aggressive and don’t let that bag sit on the ground for longer than 5 seconds. Big hips every time.

Dumbbell Bench Press: Weight is moderate where all sets can be completed unbroken. Take an extra second to roll out the arm before starting and breathe through each press.

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.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 6 minutes
Time Cap each set: 8 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Maintain moderate and steady pacing throughout these two gut-wrenching workouts. Calories remain the same, but the weight increases as reps decrease. Aim for consistency on the bike while starting off with an aggressive tempo and then settling into a more methodical strategic pace as the weight goes up.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Rounds and sets will move relatively quickly with a solid rest, allowing you to push. Don’t be afraid to hurt a little bit.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: Pacing should be moderate and controlled to avoid blowing up your lungs. As weight increases, we should see a slight decrease in pacing to avoid prolonged rest on the bar. Use the first 3-4 calories to recover before settling into pace, and then use the final 2-3 calories to wind down.

Power Clean + Push Jerk: weight should start light (-50%) while increasing each set to 60-70% on the second workout. Regardless of the weight being light off the start, we should aim for singles all the way across the three workouts. Try and hit one rep every 3-5 seconds on the first weight and then increase the time between slightly as the weight goes up. Be overly aggressive on your leg and hip drive.

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.

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7-7.5 – 70-75% – moderate intensity
Target Time: sub 14 minutes
Time Cap: 16 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: It’s a Chipper but with a twist. Effort should be moderate (70-75%) with strategic pacing and planned sets to stay on track. Be smart early so you don’t put yourself in a hole and get stuck just doing deadlifts.

How it should Feel: GASSY! It’s all gas, and no breaks on this one. Your breathing will be rough, and your legs will get juiced. Stay moving, and don’t let off.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Echo Bike: Moderate and steady (75%). Focus on staying upright and using your total body (legs and arms together). Try to average 15/12+ calories a minute.

Kipping Handstand Push Up/ Strict Handstand Push Up: It’s only 30, but who knows where you will be at physically at this point. Regardless, aim for 10+ reps if possible, and if you need shorter sets, keep the rest time down.

Deadlift: Weight should be heavy but moveable (under 80% of 1RM) where all 5 reps can be completed unbroken each set without requiring a big rest before.

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.

Time Cap: 15 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! An old classic CrossFit workout! “Helen” will never disappoint,. And now the new Games version “Helena” is a great workout as well! Each workout is meant to be at a high intensity where you will be in the fight of your life to keep consistent (slightly faster) round times through…..Buckle Up and hold on tight.

How it should Feel: PAIN!!! Manage your heart rate early on then be ready to have it rip out of your chest through the final round.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Run: For the first 2 runs, we need to be smart and calculated. Think fast (80-85%), and then the final run is whatever is left in the tank (90%+). Focus on keeping your shoulders and hands loose to help your grip.

American Kettlebell Swings: Unbroken through each set has to be the sought after standard. Be overly explosive with your hips, and relax your grip at the top to save your forearms for the pull ups.

Kipping or Butterfly Pull Ups: Unbroken, goes without saying. Just do it! And don’t gripe about it.
If you must break, keep it fast and get back to the run quickly!

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

Target Time each set: sub 1 minute 45 seconds
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: SPRINT into CHALLENGE! Another Wednesday, and that means another leg and lung thumper. Effort on each machine should be high intensity into a moderate and steady effort through the thrusters and burpees. Push the pace, and be a game manager on saving energy each set to sustain the stimulus.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! There is no such thing as going “too fast!”. Go into the pain cave, but ensure you can find your way out.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski/Row: Push the pace on these with high intensity, but not at the expense of affecting your ability to perform thrusters and burpees.

Thrusters: Smooth and steady here and going unbroken is the aim. Your heart rate is going to be high while your quads are shaking. Weight is light, so get right to work while focusing on pausing at the top of the rep to breathe.

Lateral Burpee Over Rower: Much like the thrusters – just stay moving and try not to over-rest at the bottom.

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.

Every 20m of Bike Erg = 1 rep
Target Reps each set: 42+ reps (3+ rounds)
Minimum Reps before Scaling each set: 34 reps (2.5 rounds)

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Moderate and consistent pacing across rounds and sets here. You can be aggressive on the transitions due to the short rep scheme. However, the high box and increased leg pump challenge will make these stations harder than they look.

How it should Feel: GASSY!
There is no reason to stop; just keep the pedal at idle speed and keep moving.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Tall Box Jumps: Your height is higher than normal, so be cautious and make sure you jump with everything you have.

Bike Erg: You won’t be here long, so get right on and turn the wheels. Relax your shoulders and hands while slowing down the final 50m.

Power Snatch: Moderate weight (under 75% of 1RM) where there should be no hesitation at all. Be aggressive in your leg and hip drive due to the build-up of fatigue.

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.
