Make sure you pull all of your old numbers from the prior months, get your most recent maxes together to base you warm ups off of.

2. Make sure you warm up and go for attempts intelligently. Know that everything should be based off of a percentage of your intended max for that day, and that 10% jumps past 75%, are huge jumps.

3. If you are new, be conservative, very conservative.

4. Put your damn results in Train Heroic.

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

A.

9 Minute Amrap of

55 Calorie Row
55 Kipping Handstand Push Ups

[Notes:]

Wod:

*If unable to perform technically sound Rx’d kipping handstand push ups, there will be no other handstand push up scaling options. you will perform 55 Hand Release Push Ups.
*The wall or other garage door is acceptable for the handstand push ups.

Nice long warm up for this one prepping the shoulders and getting your system going for a fast sprint on the rower. Getting through 1 round means 4.9 seconds per repetition.

Getting some rowing conversions from time to cals

(a) 1:45 = 22.3 cals/min – 1341 cals/hr
(b) 1:50 = 20 cals/min – 1205 cal/hr
(c) 1:55 = 18.2 cals/min – 1092 cal/hr
(d) 2:00 = 16.6 cals/min – 997 cal/hr
(e) 2:05 = 15.3 cal/min – 917 cal/hr
(f) 2:10 = 14.1 cal/min – 848 cal/hr
(g) 950 cal/hr – 2:02/500m pace

Lets say that you expect to bank a little time for the handstand push up and row a 1:50, that gets you off the rower at around 2:44, banking around 6:16 for the hspu/hrpu – or 6.8 seconds per hspu. Not taking into account fatigue or transition time.

Look at the pace you generally do your 500m Rows at and you can figure out how much time you’ll have on the back end to set yourself up for a realistic score. [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”LAST TEST DAY – Thursday 4.21.16″ open=”false”]Thursday 4.21.16

Power Snatch 75/55
Box Step Up 24/20

20 minute cap

[Notes:]

Power Snatch:

*If new, and you’ve never performed a power snatch in a workout – perform a russian KB swing at a manageable weight.
*If you’ve performed Power Snatches in a workout, but your max is close to the weight listed for Rx’d, use the bar or something manageable.
*No Box Jumping, only step ups[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Friday 4.22.16″ open=”false”]Friday 4.22.16

A.

In teams of two, complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 30 minutes of:

400 Meter Run
20 Pull-Ups
30 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lbs.)

Team members will alternate tasks, with only one member working at any one time. Thus, Partner A will run 400 meters, Partner B will perform 20 Pull-Ups, Partner A will perform 30 Wall Ball Shots, and Partner B will run 400 meters – and so on for 30 minutes.

[Notes:]
Pair up with like skill levels and scale accordingly so that your not “grinding” out and particular sets, if it takes you more than 4 sets to finish a block of 20 pull ups or 30 wall balls – scale back.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Saturday 4.23.16″ open=”false”]Saturday 4.23.16

Team Amrap Elizabeth

16 Minute Amrap – Teams of 2

Ring Dips

[Notes:]

Trade off the reps however you’d like with your partner, you must go in order and finish 21-15-9 then back to the top with 21’s, and so on.

Power Cleans:

*Pick a weight you can cycle with no issues
*If you are newer 3-9 months of training, perform a hang power clean.
*If you are fresh out of Fundamentals, perform Kettlebell Swings in place of the Power Cleans

Ring Dips:

*If you cannot perform Ring Dips without a band (and pretty) Perform hand release push ups
*If you cannot perform large sets of hand release push ups on the floor with a planked out body, perform incline push ups on the crossbar (or kids pull up bar if it must be higher)[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Sunday 4.24.16″ open=”false”]Sunday 4.24.16

Front Squat Crippler

For time:

30 Front Squats @ bodyweight
1000m Row

[Notes:]

Front Squats:

If bodyweight is difficult, use 60% of your 1rm Front Squat
If you don’t have a Front Squat Max, use 45% of your 1rm Back Squat

If you have NONE of these numbers, use something that feels difficult for a set of 10.

Oh, and the Front Squats are pulled from the floor.[/x_accordion_item][/x_accordion][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
