A.

Close Grip Bench Press 7rm @ 32X1

15-20 Minute Cap

B.

3 Rounds

Bulgarian Split Squat – Left Leg 12-15 Reps @ 2001

rest 30 seconds

Bulgarian Split Squat – Right Leg 12-15 Reps @ 2001

rest 2 minutes

Run 400m

rest 2 minutes between rounds

[Notes:]

CGBP:The close grip bench press will be performed per our standard of  having your index finger directly on the line where the knurling meets the smooth section of the bar. 3 down, 2 at the chest, fast as possible up, 1 second at the top.

SPLIT SQUAT: Setting up, you should have the height you are placing your back foot to at just below your kneecap. place the other foot 3 paces away from the object so that when you lunge down, your front shin is vertical, and if mobility allows – your back knee touches the ground – here is a picture 2 seconds down, 0 seconds at the bottom, smooth on the way up, 1 second at the top.

RUN: Pay attention to your run times and try to keep them consistent from round to round. Run the first one at 80-90%

 [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Tuesday 5.10.16″ open=”false”]Tuesday 5.10.16

A.

5 Rounds

Max Unbroken Strict Pull Ups

rest 30 seconds

30-60 second Pillar Hold

rest 90 seconds

B.

Teams of 3 – Perform 3 Rounds EACH

Farmers Carry AHAP 100 Yards (50 yards out, 50 yards back)

:60s Row for Calories @ 80-90% effort

Rest – as long as it takes for your partners to roll through.

[Notes:]

Pull Ups – Leave a little in the tank for each set of pull ups, don’t go to absolute failure. We would prefer everyone performed a vertical pull on this day, so bands are allowed – but under control.

Wod:

Person 1 Farmer Carries, then hops on the rower – using the rower timer to control the 60s

As soon as Person 1 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 2 may start their farmers carry/row round

As soon as Person 2 is finished with the Farmers Carry, person 3 may start their farmers carry/row round

Continue in this fashion until everyone has went through 3 times.

If weather permits, farmers walk 50 yards out and 50 yards back outside

If its “yucky” outside, perform 5 x 10 yards out, 10 yards back inside

ROW: I want the row to be consistent each time.

If you hit 20 calories the first time, no more than a deviation of 1 each time.

Reset the rower before you get on it each  time – no building on others calories

FARMERS WALK: Go hard, but not so hard that you’ll have to set them down in the first full round.

A.

5 Minute amrap

5 Wall Balls
15 Double Unders
5 Sit Ups

rest 3:00

5 Minute amrap

10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5)

rest 3:00

5 Minute amrap

5 Wall Balls
15 Double Unders
5 Sit Ups

rest 3:00

5 Minute amrap

10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
100 Yard Shuttle (10 Yards out and back x 5)

[Notes:]

Wallball, Doubles, Sit ups:

Throughout this amrap, the sets are low enough where you should never have to break a set – choose an appropriate weight for the wall ball so that you DO NOT HAVE TO BREAK SETS. Choose an appropriate pace that you should be able to take no more than 2-3 big breathes between rounds. When I say 80-90%, and its an aerobic workout, thats 80-90% of the aerobic system. So I want sweat, breathing, but not stopping on account of muscle fatigue.

KBS Shuttle:

Same thing, choose an appropriate weight that ensures you do not break, and a pace you can keep consistently throughout each round.

Consistency:

If you hit 85 reps in the first 5 min and 75 reps (each shuttle counting as 1 rep) in the second
then your 3rd and 4th amrap which are repeated should be 85 and 75, plus or minus maybe 2-3 reps for fumbling.[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Thursday 5.12.16″ open=”false”]Thursday 5.12.16

AMRAP:

Stick to a weight and band tension that you can definitely manage getting 15 with from the start of the amrap – keep the reps smooth and controlled

move casually from piece to piece on this one

keep the box jumps clean, no eating shit

Dumbbell Row Right x 8-12 @ 3001

rest :60s

B.

8 Rounds

:30 Seconds to perform

3 Hang Power Cleans

4 No Push Up Burpees over the Bar

3 Hang Power Cleans

rest :30

[Notes:]

Part A:

You can build up to a weight on the OHS -If you are capable but have no idea where to go

Stay at a light weight to work mobility and technique – especially if you are newer

Or start heavy and stay heavy – if you are advanced and want a challenge

No throwing the torso into the Dumbbell Rows, start with a weight that is heavy for 12

Part B:

Pick a weight where you finish right at that 30s mark each time, give or take a few seconds

Also -you’ll notice its a 1:1 work to rest, stick to a weight that you can finish that round, every, single, time.

If you are new and have NEVER performed Olympic Weightlifting for volume – here is your scaling

Every :30s

8 KB Swings

4 No Push Ups Burpees

Anniversary Party Tonight! you are all invited! Click here for details on our 7 Year Anniversary Party!

A.

[2 Blocks of the 4 Rounds ]

4 Rounds

3 minute amrap

Run 200m

in the time remaining with your 3 minutes, perform as many rounds as possible of

3 Pull Ups

6 Push Presses

rest 2 minutes between rounds, rest 10 minutes between blocks

[Notes:]

Recycled from last Saturday’s notes – Did you do the math already? its 46 minutes long. So try to show up on time for class – if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout.

Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort…meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you’ll notice, We’ve been prescribing Rx’d weights less and less – because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX’d on these workouts. for instance I should see…

1: 31 reps, 30 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps
2: 31 reps, 30 reps, 29 reps, 28 reps

Keep the rounds close

 

 

Pull Ups: I want round cycling, so if you cannot cycle 3 pull ups, its jumping pull up day today for you – and I understand the stimulus is different with the amount of knee flexion/extension involved in the jumping pull ups, just try to make it as much of a pull as you can.

Push Presses: Keep them clean and don’t pick a weight you’ll have to break up[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title=”Sunday 5.15.16″ open=”false”]Sunday 5.15.16
