Weekly WOD insight 11/16/20

JB implemented some hang work to really refine bar-path and ensure you guys were aware of your lat engagement. For my block I want to reinforce leg drive. This is something very simple but sometimes overlooked when it comes to cleans or snatches. You never want to forget that you are using your legs as much as possible to accelerate the bar up, and halting reps are a great way to reinforce that! Hit the finisher hard, its meant to be short and sweet with plenty of intensity.

A.) 12 Minute EMOM 

2 halting clean and Jerks or Snatches

*Halt is just below the knee*

B.) For time

403m Med ball Carry

20 Box Jump overs (25) (30)

200m Run (adv 200m Med ball carry)

If you’re someone who is always on the fence about doing higher level gymnastics such as chest to bar pull ups or muscle ups, today might be a good day to test the waters. Even though the first amrap is a couplet, I want it to be an opportunity to refine some gymnastics. The second amrap should still provide you with plenty of intensity, even if you are ambitious on your first amraps gymnastics.

A.) 9 Minute Amrap 

12 Wall Balls (15) (20)

5 Pull ups (adv 8 pull ups or 4 C2B) (Beef 8 C2B or 3/2 BMU) (Bison 5 Muscle ups)

-2 minute rest-

B.) 9 Minute amrap 

12/9 Cals any machine

15 Russian KB swings 53/35 (70/44) (Beef 20 @70/53) (Bison 20 freedom swings 70/53)

Strap in you’re in for a tough one (I hope!). For todays workout, the structure will be getting more intense as you go through the met con. The movements will be done in shorter sets in each chunk which should allow you to keep moving at an intense pace. The best part being that you will end on a simple couplet of light deadlifts and down ups/burpees.

800m Run (Beef 1000m run)

30 Power cleans 75/55 (95/65) (35 @ 115/75) (135/95)

30 Down ups (adv burpees) (Beef 30 BFB)

603m run (Beef 800m run

15 Ground to overhead 75/55 (95/65)  (115/75) (135/95)

15 Box Jumps (Beef 20)

400m run

12 Deadlifts 75/55 (95/65 (18 @ 115/75) (135/95)

12 Down ups (Adv Burpees) (Beef 15 Bar facing)

I am planning on doing two weeks of paused squats, and then two weeks of regular squats. One reason is for variety’s sake and other being if there’s a massive gap between your paused and regular squats, then you might feel the inclination to incorporate paused reps more often. For the finisher I really want it to be a true sprint since we do not get to tap into that intensity domain too often. I have programmed this before and I know that sometimes people feel like they need to do “more” after they’re done with the sprints. Try to approach each sprint with the mindset that each one is an all out effort. When in doubt, hop on the assault bike, it will take great care of you ;).  I will bring these back in the third week of my month so track your score!

A.) Back or Front Squat

            5-5-5-5

I really like this short burner style workout. After doing JBs Beer flight workout last week I wanted to bring back the same feel but add a little extra spice and give you guys some rest so you can feel more inclined to push the pace. If you want to opt for the hang power cleans today, make sure you are very proficient at the movement under fatigue. Be aggressive on the pacing today, hit the gas and try to hold on!
