PLEASE LOG YOUR RESULTS IN COMMENTS! We make great efforts to provide feedback and adapt our program based on what we see from those who provide results. To ensure that we are able to do the best we can for you, please log your results!

  • Strength:
    Four sets of:
    Front Squat x 3-5 reps
    Rest 10 seconds
    Tall Box Jumps x 1.1.1.1.1
    (rest 5-7 seconds between singles)
    Rest 3 minutes
  • WOD:
    For time:
    Row 1000 Meters / Run 1600
    immediately followed by:
    Three rounds of:
    15 Thrusters (50kg/35kg)
    30 Double-Unders

 

  • A:
    Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
    Front Squat
    *Set 1 – 2 reps @ 60%
    *Set 2 – 2 reps @ 65%
    *Set 3 – 2 reps @ 70%
    *Set 4 – 1 rep @ 75%
    *Set 5 – 1 rep @ 80%Rest one minute, and then…
    Every two minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):

    Front Squat
    *Set 6 – 85% x 1 rep
    *Set 7 – 85-90% x 1 rep
    *Set 8 – 90+% x 1 rep
    *Set 9 – 90+% x 1 rep
    *Set 10 – 90+% x 1 rep

    For sets 6-10, let feel dictate loading. The goal is to establish today’s “heavy” lift. “Heavy” for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. If you determine that you’ve reached that load for the day prior to set 10, stop there. You’ll have lots of opportunities over the upcoming weeks to hit new 1-RMs if and when your body is feeling good, so don’t push when your body isn’t responding to the stimulus.

  • B:
    Six sets of:
    Halting Clean Deadlift + Clean Pull + 2 Power Cleans + Jerk @ 70-85% of 1-RM Clean
    Rest as neededBuild over the course of the six sets from the low to the high end of the prescribed range. Stay focused on maintaining good and consistent mechanics on the first and second pulls in each movement.
  • C:
    Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets):
    Split Jerk x 1 rep @ 80-90%
    Goal is to groove perfect footwork and mechanics with a relatively high percentage of your 1-RM in these sets. Do not progress the load if your mechanics falter.
  • D:In 15 minutes or less, build to today’s “heavy”…
    Back Squat x 1 rep
    Followed by…
    Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):
    Back Squat x 3 reps @ 75-80% of today’s heavy single
  • Optional Additional Conditioning Session(This session is best performed 3-4 hours prior to or following today’s primary session.)

    Eighteen sets of:
    30 seconds of Assault Bike @ 70-75/60-65 rpm
    30 seconds of Assault Bike @ 50/40 rpm

  • 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.
