23 Jan WOD – Tuesday 23 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD: 6 Sets
10 Toes to Bar
15m Handstand Walk
10 Ground to Overhead (40/30)

-Rest 1 min Between sets-

 

Sets 1-3 = Power Snatch
Sets 4-6 = Power Clean and Jerk

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! These sets are meant to be aggressive and consistent. Approach the first 2 sets with a slightly slower pace than planned to feel out the combination. After you style in then, it’s all about hanging on while trying to improve building to the final set. Between alternating rounds on the barbell movements and the upper body under constant tension, you will have your work cut out for you today!

How it should Feel: GRIPPY & GASSY! Keep everything reasonably close so there is no excuse to take longer walking breaks.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Toes to Bar: Unbroken! Don’t even think about coming off that bar. Be aggressive with your hips. (If you get smoked and need to break, then aiming for 2 sets is ideal, 3 at most!)

Handstand Walk: Unbroken! Take deep breaths and dive right into it.

Ground to Overhead – Power Snatch / Power Clean + Push Jerk: Weight is light (ideally under 50% of 1RM power snatch) and should allow for sets to be completed unbroken across most to all of the workout. This will be the difficult part of the workout as it goes on, so be smooth with the bar and breathe through the motion.

 

Strength & Skill:
5 Squat Snatch @ 65-70% 1RM Snatch
4 Squat Snatch @ 70-75% 1RM Snatch
3 Squat Snatch @ 75-80% 1RM Snatch
2 Squat Snatch @ 80-85% 1RM Snatch
1 Squat Snatch @ 85-90% 1RM Snatch
*Rest 3 Min and then repeat for 2 total sets
**The goal is to cycle these or perform fast singles.

 

 

 

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 Ground to Overhead (35/25)

 

TARGET SCORE

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: 1-2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE!
Similar to yesterday’s workout, volume decreases, but skill and weight increase across the 3-part multiple set couplets. Pacing should be moderately high to score similar times across.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and/or GASSY! This combination is designed to attack your grip, shoulders, and hamstrings. Be aggressive and use the time between sets to gather yourself.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Deadlift: Weight starts light for high reps (50%) into a moderate set (60%), ending with a moderately heavy weight (70%); with the rest after each round, the goal should be unbroken reps across. Drive through the floor and keep the lats active during the pull.

Kipping Handstand Push Ups: Big hips while trying to hit these unbroken.

Handstand Walk: 25ft unbroken sections should be the goal. If you have the capacity, then go unbroken.

Wall Facing Strict Handstand Push Ups: Unbroken would be a great goal here. If you struggle with these, then aim to break into two sets. Adjust to regular strict handstands or deficit handstands if these are bothersome.

15 Jan WOD – Monday 15 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

WOD:
30 Pull Ups
30 Back squats (40/30)
30 Burpees

 

-Rest 1:00-

 

20 Chest to Bar
20 Front Squats (50/35)
20 Burpees to 6 inch target

 

-Rest 1:00-

 

10 Bar Muscle Ups
10 Overhead Squats (60/40)
10 Bar Facing Burpees

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into SPRINT! Moderate to moderate high intensity on these triplet chippers. Volume decreases as skill increases across sets. Start steady and see if you can gradually increase the pacing from set to set. Short breaks between ensure that the bar is set and you are ready to go at the end of the 60-second rest.

How it should Feel: LACTIC ACID PARTY! It honestly comes down to how bad you are will to hurt through the squats and burpees. Stay in attack mode!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Pull Ups: Unbroken is the ultimate goal. 2 sets would be the minimum. If you break, make sure it’s not for long.

Back Squats: taken from the ground ; Weight is very light (-30%) where unbroken or bust. Breathe through the motion, and don’t worry about pumping them out. Just keep a steady pace that doesn’t blow up the legs.

Burpees: Just good old fashion, regular burpees here. Stay steady and as close to non-stop as possible.

Chest to Bar: Same as pull-ups, unbroken is what we want.

Front Squats: Take from the ground, squat clean into that first rep, and go. Breathe through every rep and try to go unbroken. Weight is light (-40%), so stay steady through the sets.

Burpees to 6-inch Target: Same as the regular burpees, don’t rush until the final five reps.

Bar Muscle Ups: Unbroken, or 2 sets minimum. Big hips and grind through.

Overhead Squats: taken from the ground; Squat snatch and pump through these reps. Weight is moderately light (-50%), whereas unbroken is the only option, so make it happen.

Bar Facing Burpees: These are all out. Once that bar hits the ground, so should your chest. Be aggressive and finish the workout on a strong note.

 

Strength & Skill:
2 Sets
10 Power Cleans @ 135/95# or 65-70% 1 RM Power Clean
8 Power Cleans @ 155/105# or 70-75% 1 RM Power Clean
6 Power Cleans @ 185/135# or 75-80% 1 RM Power Clean
4 Power Cleans @ 225/155# or 80-85% 1 RM Power Clean
2 Power Cleans @ 255/175# or 85-90% 1 RM Power Clean

 

*Rest 3 minutes between sets.
*Cycled or fast singles.

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

10 Jan WOD – Wednesday 10 January 2024

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

Strength & Skill

*Do a set every 2 minutes.

3 Position Power Clean + 2 Push Jerk @ 60% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 2 Push Jerk @ 65% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 70% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 73% 1 RM Clean and Jerk
3 Position Power Clean + 1 Push Jerk @ 73+% 1 RM Clean and Jerk

 

WOD: AMRAP 14 Minutes
14/11 Calorie Row/ 220m Run
14 Deadlifts (80/60)
28 Crossovers

 

TARGET SCORE
Target Rounds: 10+
Minimum Rounds before Scaling: 6

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! Let’s try to start and end with the same pace here. Keep each station smooth and consistent while using the time between stations as rest. Your grip is going to be under constant tension, so be smart and take calculated breaks to avoid burning out.

How it should Feel: GASSY into CARDIO! Short reps with a lot of up and down will keep the heart rate elevated. It’s up to you to control it and keep your composure.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Row / Run: Steady, moderate effort (70-75%) across. This almost turns into the active recovery.

Deadlift: Weight is light (-40%) where all reps could be completed unbroken. But it might be smart to break into two quick sets to save the grip. Breathe and make sure you stand up all the way.

Single Under Crossover: Depending on your skill, this could be the area where you get hung up. The goal should be 1-3 sets, so adjust if needed to avoid breaking every couple of 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.
