Weekly WOD Insights 11/12/18

Brit always loves her ring rows!

Happy week before Thanksgiving! While I know the smokey air has put a damper on our workouts the last couple days, I’ve made some indoor options ready for you if the air quality stays in the unhealthy range. There are several row, bike, ski options in the workouts this week. Have fun and be safe out there!

MONDAY
I’ve kept the EMOM to 2 reps for all levels. Utilize the extra time to regroup and focus on technique and feedback from the first rep. It will allow you to push a little heavier than the normal every minute format, but remember that if they all feel easy the entire 15 minutes, that is GOOD! The rxd reps for the finisher stay the same so that there is less switching around and thinking for newer folks or those who need a couple reps to get things feeling right. The weight should be light in order to go unbroken for at least the first couple of minutes. The ascending format, while still doable at super light weight and newbies, is more of a challenge of pacing as the reps go up each set.

TUESDAY
While serving as a “buy in”, the first part is really the meat of the workout. Ideally, the workout is suited for running, but if the smoke is bad, go with the row, bike, ski, or air runner option. If this happens and there is a big class that wants to stay inside, we will have some folks stagger when they do the buy-in (aka minute 9, or have a rowing buddy they are with inform them right when they are done so they can start) and then return back to the AMRAP. The weights and cardio options should be something that you can smoke through unbroken and have very minimal drop off each round. Once you get to the AMRAP, pick a rep scheme that allows you to continue moving. Sweat Shoppers have been doing a great job of maintaining really good push-ups regardless of the scaling. Scaling options for pushups are pushing on the barbell in the rack, bands on the hip in the low rack, and elevated hands on a box. Chest should always be touching the ground or any of these items and should follow to full lockout. If you struggle early on to do this, go start with more assistance.

200 Meter Run, Row, 10 Cal Bike or Ski or Air Runner

6 Pushups (ADV: 10)
9 Air Squats (ADV: 15)

WEDNESDAY
For this chipper, and most all chippers for that matter, the key is to break up the reps in something manageable to avoiding hitting a wall and muscle fatigue early. For rx’d, the there is no super heavy olympic barbell or limiting gymnastic movement, so most all levels should be able to move consistently through the workout if managed well and broken up. For ADV and Beef, the reps are a little more so even more purposeful breaks will need to happen here. The kettlebell carry and sled push are there for a little break in the action but will definitely keep the heart rate high. The KB carry can be held any way.

FRIDAY
For the front squats, stick with 3s if you want more quality work with the lift and if you are starting out. If you are a seasoned lifter and want to test out a heavy single, go with the advance version. Keep in mind that heavy triples are just as good, if not better gauges of strength than the 1RM counter part, but since we haven’t done singles in a while, today can be a good day to assess for percentages in training. My intention for the part B is to go harder than usual on the calorie machine and then picking a pull-up load that will allow for quality and a mini recovery.
