We have trained a lot of tempo these last 9 weeks, and regardless of whether you like it or not – its here to stay in one fashion or another. We have stripped out the tempo for this week, just make sure you are sticking to the standards of the movement like glue.

It’s important to note that when we program our blocks, we program off of the results we see in class, and the trends that the coaches and I notice. If you don’t put your results in Train Heroic, you aren’t a part of the data, we will still look at all of the whiteboard results, but it helps to have you all put it into Train Heroic! Click here to get your free account on Train Heroic and Start Tracking Right Away. The testing is what typically matters most to us as we go through, that is why we stress it a bit more than some of the sessions through the weeks of training.

Oh, and a note we saw looking over the data last testing week..

for fucks sake. Make sure you:

a. put in the score correctly in train heroic, so you don’t get shot to the top of the leaderboard by putting in a 800lb squat and also skewing our data.

b. make sure your gender is set appropriately AND the weight measurement is selected as “lbs” in the top right corner, and NOT KILOS.

If I see you as a male at the top of the women leaderboard with a 300 kilo squat, I am coming after you.

**Next week we will be having a new style of week instead of a deload, we will be setting some different baselines for the next 9 weeks, AND stay tuned because this next week we will be having an “ask me anything” for those of you wanting to know about programming, or what the focus is, or putting your two cents in. Its great for us to answer questions, and its great for you all as well – lets get some good discussions going with your training or really anything else for that matter. So look for that.

A. roughly 10 minutes to warm up and hit your attempt

1 x Max Unbroken Strict Pull Ups

 

B. 20 minutes to establish

to Establish a Back Squat 1rm (or 3rm – see notes)

 

C.

5 Rounds

1 Min to do MAX REPS Russian KB Swings

1 Min Rest

***Notes***

Pull Ups: This is 1 single max effort set of pull ups. Warm as needed, but you have one shot at it. Make sure to keep good positioning, no reaching the chin, bending of the knees, or kicking. If you are unable to do pull ups you will complete a max effort set of ring rows. If you went with this option make sure to check off the RX button. These are prone grip (standard grip)

Back Squat:Today we are going to hit a heavy single. IF YOU are within 3 months of completing Fundamentals or Accelerated Fundamentals you will complete a 3RM. This is that day to go for it, but remember to be smart. Don’t make unrealistic jumps. If form is going to shit, don’t keep adding weight and expect it to get better. Suggested Warm Up 50% x4 155lbs 60% x4, 70% x2, 80% X1, 85% X1, 90% x1, 95% x1, Max, Max

Spotting and some other info for the back squat: if you don’t know how to spot – today isn’t the day to learn. Ask someone who knows or a coach. Also, keep to the standards – if you don’t want someone to tell you it wasn’t low enough, don’t leave anything to chance – either squat all the way down, thats an easy way to avoid a no rep, or video it to get a better gauge of where you are at. Oh…and just use bumpers today instead of metal plates when loading – we have been seeing some shoddy spotting with metal plates on the bar, they aren’t as kind to our bars as the bumpers are. The only time you can switch to metal is if you are 405 and beyond.

Wod: Choose a weight where you feel like you can crush 30 unbroken in the first round – or something you feel like you can push out reps for all 60s

Wod Scoring: Scoring on Train Heroic is reps, on the whiteboard it will be reps multiplied by weight used.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Tuesday 6.28.16″ open=”false”]Tuesday 6.28.16

A.

15 minutes to establish a Strict Press 1rm

 

B.

For Time

2000m Row

 

***Notes***

Planning out the day: 5-10 minute warm up, leading directly into 15 minutes and not a second more leaves you with 25 minutes elapsed and 35 minutes left in class. If we have 18 people in class that means 3 heats. Average time for a male last time was 8:09 in class, average for female was 9:14. Here is how this shit is going to go down.

Everyone goes through the warm up together, everyone goes through the press together. When assigning heats for the row – fastest rowers go first, you know who you are, if you feel as though you may be a few minutes off from someone else in a heat – go in a later heat. For instance, if we have 13 people in a class, and 3 people have 7-9 minute 2k’s…only those three go first, if we have 6 others in the 9-11 minute range, they go next, the people in the last heat are the people that have no idea what their 2k is, or people in the 11+ range.

Press: No hip movement in the press, make intelligent jumps with this – small small small jumps, 3-5% is a huge jump on this relative to the other movements.

2k: Pace yourself! If you have a prior number, set yourself up for success by watching your splits.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Wednesday 6.29.16″ open=”false”]Wednesday 6.29.16

“Sage”

20 Minute Amrap

20 Thrusters 135/95
20 Pull Ups
20 Burpees

***Notes***

For the Workout: Use a scaling that makes sense for you

Thrusters: Try not to get above 50% of your max thruster weight, if you do not have a max thruster weight, you should feel as though you could hit 20 reps unbroken if you needed to.

Pull Ups: Scaling here is either standard pull ups, or ring rows. Lets keep away from the bands.

Burpees are standard

If you have a prior score at this workout – use that scaling!!!

Row 250m

Rest exactly 12min b/t rounds

***Notes***

All out, don’t hold back

This looks at your ability to use lactate as fuel. Too much lactate for some will cause premature fatigue as your body does not have enough time to flush it out of your bloodstream. For those who have done lactate training before this was not a problem. Your ability to recover quickly and in some cases use excessive lactate as fuel is optimal which is reflected in your times.

I’d like to make slight modifications for some of you to get the time down to get the correct stimulus out of you (within reason) some of you may not have developed the ability to head down this energy system pathway.

Lets look at some avatars

Sarah – 5:51 (average time across 3) – inability to recover quickly enough due to excessive accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream causing premature fatigue and excessive breaks. With proper training this will get better.

Leann – 4:37 (average time across 3) – good recoverability. Shows good ability to use lactate as fuel.

Nick – 5:16 (average time across 3) – inability to recover quickly enough due to excessive accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream causing premature fatigue and excessive breaks). With proper training this will get better.

Jeff – 9:20 (average time across 3) – low to moderate recoverability. Able to recover to a point but not able to go 100% consistently. Lactate tolerance okay but on the low end. With proper training this will improve.

Zach – 4:16 (average time across 3) good recoverability. Shows good ability to use lactate as fuel.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
