Weekly WOD Review 1/7/19
Monday
We’ve done this format quite frequently in the past month, so this is a good opportunity to continue to progress if you’ve followed the instructions each time. As you compare this strength session to your previous ones, some ideas to change it up a bit are: to increase all of your sets by 5lbs or so, shoot for a more “across” type of workout (less weight changes, more sets at one weight), or use the same weights as before and try to make it “feel” better.
For the finisher, nothing too complicated in order to not take away from your strength session. Pick a light barbell weight that you can do all the prescribe reps at and try to move quickly on the run. If you enjoy running, but want to keep the barbell light…feel free to mix and match and do the longer runs and vice versa.

Every 1:00 for 12:00

Tuesday
For this workout, I primarily want to discuss scaling options for the push ups. If possible, scale push ups to a box, set up a barbell low on the rig, or even use a band. Try and avoid going down to your knees as much as possible. The reason being is that we would like you guys to incorporate the necessary midline work to keep those hips from sagging (similar to a plank). Keep in mind, the more you can stay conscious of how your midline is working translates very well to when we include barbells or other implements into workouts.
Alt Every 1:00 for 25:00

Wednesday
Similar to a few weeks ago, all levels will participate in the static holds for the skill session. It’s important to be able to hold specific positions of any range of motion in order to build awareness and increase your overall strength in any given moment. So for today’s skill session you guys will have some sort of “pulling” and “core” hold.
For the main workout today, you guys have a chipper-esque type of challenge. This workout isn’t meant to have a large number of rounds completed, so keep that in mind! Break things up early, manage your heart rate (I usually tell people that they should be able to hold a conversation), then try and pick it up for the last 2:00 or so! One thing to discuss is the power clean weight you’ll be choosing today. It will be a little bit on the heavier end since volume is relatively low. Think of a weight that you can complete at least 5-6 cleans in a minute.
A)
8:00 Alt EMOM
1) :30 Static Ring Row Hold -or- Chin Over Bar Hold
2) :30 Deadbug Marches -or- Hollow Hold -or- L Sit on Box, Parallette, or Pull Up Bar

5 Pull Ups (10 Chest to Bars) (10/7 Muscle Ups) (15 Muscle Ups)
Thursday
You guys will get another shot at some tempo work, similar to Friday’s but from the front rack position this time around. This time around, there are a couple of accessory movements that you will be fitting in during your squat session. Try and fit these in when you would like, but keep in mind you guys will have 25:00. Should be plenty of time though!
Less weight, move well will be the focus of today.

Feel free to mix and match today’s workout! If you enjoy running, but want to keep the barbell light and volume low…go for it! And the opposite is acceptable also! For all levels, the volume and load are relatively light. With that being said, the focus will be on constant movement. Consistency is fast and the name of the game! For your single arm dumbbell shoulder to overheads, go ahead and switch arms whenever you would like. And lastly, keep in mind you bison folks…you guys will be ADDING a 30′ Handstand Walk at the end of each round.

603m Run (800m)
10 Deadlifts 135/95 (15 Deadlifts 185/135) (20 Deadlifts 205/145)

*Bison Only: Perform a 30′ Handstand Walk after each round
Saturday
Intervals are on the menu for today! All movements across the board are simple, so the name of the game will be to focus on heart rate and intensity. Try and stay consistent across each round in terms of reps, and keep yourself in the game mentally! As a heads up, rounds 3-5 will be the “grinder” rounds. Enjoy!
A)
7 Rounds
:30 Max Cals any Machine
