27 Feb WOD – Thursday 27 February 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: WOD

25 minute AMRAP
480m Run/ 500m Row/ 500m Ski/ 38/30cal AB
3 x Wall Walk/ HS Walk 10m
10x Lateral bound (each side)
– Rest 2 min –

 

Details:
• Jump side to side (over 1m Mat object)
• Push off from one leg, land on opposite leg
• Keep knee stable and control landing position
• No stopping. Quick rebounding jumps.
• Focus on explosive lateral push-off and balance

 

Zone 1-2: The target HR for the 25min should be between the low end of your Z2 HR and 5bpm into Z1. For example, using Maffetone’s 180-age formula, a 30 year old athlete would have a target Z2 of 150 (180-30). This athlete would have a Z2 range of 145-155. Their target HR for this 25min is 140-145.

 

Z1 Purpose: Elevate your heart rate, allowing your blood to efficiently bring nutrients into your muscle tissue and remove contaminants from the muscle. ”

 

PART B: Foam Roller and Mobility

Roll:
Sub Scaps
Lats
Hips
Lower Back

 

Stretch:
Front Rack on Rings
Long Stretch OVH
Glutes
Lower Back

21 Feb WOD – Friday 21 February 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

Take 10 minutes to establish a 1RM or heavy single deadlift for the day.

 

1RM Approaches
You are working with 10 minutes here so you have to be approaching your lifts and jumps in weight with a purpose. In this there are really two main approaches. The first is just to do all singles and add weight as you feel. The second is to do a Strength approach and go 3-2-1-1-1-1-1. This allows those sets of 3 and 2 to be more of the warm up and technique dialing in reps and then you can get into your singles once those two sets are done.

 

Pro Tip: You don’t only have to move up in weight if you successfully hit the previous weight. This means that if your fail felt really good on a failed attempt and are were aware of why you missed it, then you can jump to the next weight so you can save time and more importantly energy.

 

PART B: WOD

 

AMRAP 20 Minutes at moderate pace
100m KB Farmer’s Carry (2×24/16kg)
350m Row/ 300m Run
30m Bodyweight Walking Lunge

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 7 – 70% – moderate intensity
Target Rounds: 5-6+ rounds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! Steady-state aerobic work. This engine-building workout focuses on sustained effort rather than max intensity. The goal is a consistent movement with little to no rest between exercises.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! No reason to stop, EVER! Get some good music on and keep going.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Dumbbell Farmer’s Carry: Weight is light and sets need to be kept unbroken. Chalk up prior and move with a purpose.

Row/Bike Erg: Moderate pacing (70-75%). Breathe through the motion and focus on relaxing your grip and shoulders, especially on the bike.

Bodyweight Walking Lunge: Smooth and steady consistent steps. Try step-through step-through on the lunges (no pause) since its light and a manageable distance

 

 

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.

20 Feb WOD – Thursday 20 February 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: WOD Open 21.3

 

For total time:

 

• 15 front squats
• 30 toes-to-bars
• 15 thrusters
Rest 1 min.

 

• 15 front squats
• 30 chest-to-bar pull-ups
• 15 thrusters
Rest 1 min.

 

• 15 front squats
• 30 bar muscle-ups
• 15 thrusters

 

40/25kg

 

Time cap: 18 min

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into PAIN CAVE!!! This was one of those open workouts that looked simple and fun on paper. We were wrong…A fast, aggressive workout with built-in rest. Meaning you can push each round. Each round increases in gymnastic difficulty, demanding grip endurance and technical efficiency. Barbell movements hit the legs, midline, and shoulders, while gymnastics challenges grip and pulling strength. After the final workout, it’s a quick recovery, and then it’s time to see what’s left in the tank.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE into PAIN!!!! First Round: Push, But Stay in Control. Don’t go unbroken if it’ll cost you later. Second Round: Manage Grip & Breathing. Chest-to-bar pull-ups will fatigue you for muscle-ups. Third Round: Dig Deep & Finish Strong! This is the final push. Then, get ready to lift some heavy weight.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Front Squats: Light weight and it should always be unbroken. Don’t plan to drop it.

Thruster: Same weight as the front squats, and here we should aim for bigger sets, but break into 2-3 sets if needed to avoid red-lining.

Toes to Bar / Chest to Bar / Bar Muscle Up: Whatever you do, don’t plan to go on unbroken on the T2B and C2B or blow up with bigger sets than you can handle. Take smart, calculated breaks to save your grip and shoulders because it all comes down to the bar muscle-ups at the end.

 

PART B: Strength & Skill

Complete the following complex for max load:

• 1 deadlift
• 1 clean
• 1 hang clean
• 1 jerk

 

Time begins 2 min directly after following the completion of 21.3.

 

Time cap: 9 min.

 

21.4 Complex: Make sure you have a comfortable opening weight on the bar to start. Don’t rush your lifts if you are not mentally ready, and before the workout begins, have all the weights laid out on the side.

 

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.

PART B: WOD

 

480m Run/ 500m Row/ 40/32 Cal AB

-into-

3 Rounds of:
20 Power Cleans (50/35kg)
15 Strict Handstand Push Ups/ Kipping

-into-

480m Run/ 500m Row/ 40/32Cal AB

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.0 – 8.5 80-85% – moderate/high intensity
Target Time: sub 15 minutes
Time Cap: 20 minutes

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: GRIND! Starting off, we want to be controlled but aggressive (80-85% effort). Survive the middle, then send it home on the final ski! Stay smart, stay moving, and crush the finish. Control your breathing and aim for similar round times across the middle.

How it should Feel: CARDIO & MUSCULAR ENDURANCE The strict handstand push ups will burn out pressing endurance, especially after skiing. The midline will begin to break down, especially in that final ski. Know the fatigue will come and be ready for it!

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Ski: Start off Moderate aggressive off the start (75-80%) while trying to replicate an increased effort on the final 10-15 calories for the second ski. Focus on total body movement and breathing through the motion.

Power Clean: Weight should be light (under 60% of 1RM) where you should be able to touch and go a couple of sets before transitioning to fast singles.

Strict Handstand Push Up: This is the station you need to be smart and avoid going all out til the last set. Break sooner than later and never 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. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

18 Feb WOD – Tuesday 18 February 2025

CROSSFITREST AND RECOVERY

PART A: Strength & Skill

Bench Press

Take 10 minutes to establish a 1RM or heavy single Bench Press for the day.

 

1RM Approaches
You are working with 10 minutes here so you have to be approaching your lifts and jumps in weight with a purpose. In this there are really two main approaches. The first is just to do all singles and add weight as you feel. The second is to do a Strength approach and go 3-2-1-1-1-1-1. This allows those sets of 3 and 2 to be more of the warm up and technique dialing in reps and then you can get into your singles once those two sets are done.

 

Pro Tip: You don’t only have to move up in weight if you successfully hit the previous weight. This means that if your fail felt really good on a failed attempt and are were aware of why you missed it, then you can jump to the next weight so you can save time and more importantly energy.

 

PART B: WOD

5 Sets
8 Devil Press (2×22.5/16kg)
16 GHD Sit Ups (OR Toes to Bar)
-rest 2 min between sets-

 

TARGET SCORE
Intended Workout RPE: 8.5 – 85% – high intensity
Target Time each set: sub 2 minutes
Time Cap each set: 2 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Pacing needs to be aggressive and built upon. Don’t come out too hot and blow. The 1:1 rest ratio means you should push hard during work and recover enough to maintain output. Smooth & efficient reps, don’t rush the first few sets—stay consistent.

How it should Feel: GASSY and GRIPPY! The devil press is a grind that taxes the entire body, especially the shoulders and posterior chain. Meanwhile, the GHD sit-ups (or Toes to bar) challenge trunk flexion endurance when fatigued.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Dumbbell Devil Press: Moderate weight here, and let’s just try to keep a near non-stop effort. Big hips are needed every time you breathe at the top and bottom of each rep.

GHD Sit Up: Non-stop! Big hips, explode up using the total body, and breathe at the top.

Toes to Bar: Smooth with consistent kipping and minimizing breaks if possible since the rest comes right after.

 

 

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.

PART B: WOD

4 sets (1 set every 6 minutes)
16/12 Calorie Standing ABike/ 220m Run/ 250m Row

Target Time each set: sub 3 minute 30 seconds
Time Cap each set: 4 minutes 30 seconds

 

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! This 5-set interval workout is all about consistent and aggressive pacing, managing fatigue, and staying efficient under duress. The first two rounds will feel fine, but round 4 will be a mental fight. Stay smooth, control your breathing, and push hard in the final set!

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and some LACTIC ACID PARTY! Expect a deep quad burn from the bike and squats. Breathing will be elevated but controlled. Each round should feel hard but repeatable. Your rest time shrinks if you go too slow.

 

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Standing Bike Erg: Maintain a strong but sustainable pace (80%) with the intent to slow down the final 2-3 calories before transitioning. The goal should be sub-1:40.

Back Squat: Weight is moderate (under 60% of 1RM). Unbroken is ideal, but 10-5 is an option if needed as legs begin to break down.

Rope Climb: Jump high on the first pull to minimize time under tension. Smooth and efficient descent. Try and complete 1 rep every 10-15 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.
