Weekly WOD Insights 7/23/18

, , ,

Rise and shine, ready to grind! New week brings a new life. Let’s get it! Building off of my recent post, there are plenty of options of “REDOs” this week. There are two exact WODS we did previously as well as a couple with similar formats that I’ve programmed quite regularly when it’s my turn. Also, keep note of the structured skills sessions which are more opportunities to revisit those skills that we need constant work on. I am building off of the structure Nabil made last week with three options based on your skill level with the daily movement given. The idea is for those who need fundamental basics to do the first option, those who are close to having the skill (or maybe you just go it) but need some extra guidance do the “guided skill development” option, and those who already have the skill and want to perform them in a more challenging format, do the “advanced” option.

MONDAY

There are several previous dates for Grace that you can find on Beyond the Whiteboard but not too many for Isabel. This is because most folks should choose Grace as clean and jerks are the more simpler movement. However, if you are very confident in snatches, you can choose to do that, just keep in mind that while the weights are the same, a 135/95 snatch requires much more technique and skill than clean and jerks. In terms of weight selection, it should be something that you can complete well under 8-10 minutes, or, if you’d like a strategical reference, something you could do 4-5 reps unbroken or fast singles until 30 reps. The intention of this workout is high power output and intensity so don’t choose a weight that will drag that and yourself down to much. Scaling is highly encouraged. Even if you can’t do the weight rx’d, it’s a great workout to constantly retest with either more weight each time or keep the weight the same and see if you can move through it quicker. Once recovered enough from A.), clean up your weights and start on your squats. While it’s rare to do the squat portion after a metcon, today, I wanted the strength focus secondary. It won’t always be this way! Come ready to crush it!

TUESDAY

The wall climb course returns! I thought it was a nice “functional” change-up to the regular movements we do at the Shop. If you thought the non-ball climbs were easy last time, go with carrying the ball this time. If you are hesitant or fatigued during that section, don’t forget to steer clear to the right! The focus of this workout is running with some simple, intense  work inside. The KB and pushups should be quick and close to unbroken if you can. I know there is a big discrepancy with push-up levels so I’ve added a couple options there. Feel free to mix and match and also scale down if necessary. Some good pushup modifications are hands on a box, a fixed barbell in the rack, or my favorite, using a band on the hooks on the rack. Ask the coach for help with setting these up.

WEDNESDAY

Today, the skill focus is to progress to handstand walking as well as giving our strict pullup folks a chance to go for a max (NINA C)! The AMRAP is a tiny bit shorter in time domain than our usual 18-20 minutes, so pace accordingly. The movements are a bit more simple so you should be able to move through rounds quicker. I wanted to mix some deadlifts in this WOD today, however, I wanted to control volume a bit and not making it a major limiter to the quick moving AMRAP. As always, feel free to mix and match but be careful choosing the deadlift weight. Even if a solid deadlifter, only choose a weight you can manage with solid technique a little winded.

FRIDAY

Keep note of the specifics on the skills as the focus today is progressing to the handstand pushups. For the workout, this is the 3rd time I’ve programmed this format as I really love (hate) the fact that I have to get back on the bike or row every other minute for 20 minutes. If you’re like me and the bike/rower is something that you struggle with during workouts but look forward to getting better at, this is a solid one! The bike/row/ski calories are set so you can decide how hard you’d like to push, either getting it done super fast and a little more time to get ready for the other movement, or take it easy and end exactly on the minute so you don’t overly spike the HR up. Try to maintain a consistent level of reps on the burpees and snatches throughout the 20 minutes!
