Weekly WOD Insights 2/11/19

MONDAY

As always, I’d like all folks to work with extra care and focus on the skill work today. Shoulder taps should be slow and controlled, handstand holds should be extra “tight” with full body tension upside down, and if you do the foot taps, maintain hollow. I think coupling with a hollow hold will help the brain/body connection, but only if you go into those with that specific intent. If you have handstand walks or are just at a couple comfy steps, go ahead and give them a go here. Don’t worry too much on the time to get the distance done, simply use that 6 minutes to get as many quality attempts in. Similar to the workout I programmed on 1/22, I am shooting for the same “high intensity interval” style effect for part B. When choosing a squat clean weight, it should be comfy and quick in the warm-up. If you decide on the rower, keep in mind that it will be a little more taxing on the legs than running. These workouts are good to track your splits each rounds so you can learn about how well you managed the workout intensity. Viewing your splits can also give you feedback on what you couldn’t yet handle or where you could have gone a bit harder.

TUESDAY
I’ve programmed this little 7 minute pre-workout before with max reps in the time remaining. For a fun challenge, I thought it would be nice to choose one option and do it for time. While you’ll still not want to go out too hot, I think knowing how many reps you are going to do when you come in gives you an added push on that cardio portion. After you finish, take notes on how it went and if you chose the right effort on the buy in. Did you go out too hot, or was there room to push it sooner or later?

WEDNESDAY
We’ve finished up our 6 week cycle of tempo squatting and we hope you learned a little bit about your squat in that time frame! That being said, six weeks, and only 1 time a week is simply just a “kickstarter” for your squat. The more you do them the more  significant changes you can make to your squats, however, we wanted to give you all a taste of what the tempo format could do for you. If you found a benefit, please keep them going and if you have any questions on how you can integrate them into your program, ask a coach. so those of you who found benefit in it can continue to do them. For part B, I’d like those row intervals for seasoned/competitive rowers to be near full efforts each time. For those newer or have not had much work at this distance, try to choose a pace that you could match or improve slightly by 2-5 seconds in succession. Save the info to your notes on your average pace here for future training/attempts.
