Weekly WOD Review 4/27/20
Monday
Week 4 Strength –
This is the last week of my Strength progression. If you’ve been able to follow along, I some guidance has helped! At the very least, I hope I’ve been able to give all of you some new ideas in terms of strength formats.
Every 1:00 for 10:00
3 Back Squats
– 5-10# heavier than last week
– If not completed last week, choose a moderate weight for all of your sets (be conservative)
– Goal is to pick a weight which you can sustain for 10 sets with little to no movement compensations
Conditioning –
Simple movements and simple formats = very effective workouts. Focus on making your movements as efficient as possible and try to move from each exercise with a purpose. You don’t HAVE to move fast, just keep moving! These 2 workouts will be done pretty quickly!

Tuesday
Week 4 Strength –
Today doesn’t necessarily have to be a 1RM day. If you’re feeling really good, then be all means go for it! But for most, build to a challenging single for the day based off of how you are feeling.
Every 1:30 for 15:00
1 Power Clean
– Build to a challenging single for the day
Conditioning –
During Part A, you’ll get the chance to work on some midline accessories. Midline work is always good just to activate the core and continue with getting you warmed up for Part B.

Conditioning –
For Part A, you will establish how many reps you will be performing for each movement in Part B. Don’t sandbag the first part though! Move at about 80% effort for the first part. After your 2:00 rest, whatever rep scheme you’ve established will be your goal for Part B. The spice factor WILL make itself present as you’re going through Part B, it’s ok if it gets you start to fatigue…this is the time to rely on your movement mechanics and gut it out! Good luck!

Thursday
Conditioning –
Today’s workout is a good combination of pushing, pulling, and core movements. When one muscle group is working, the others will be able to rest so that you can keep moving right into the next movement! Constant movement, controlled breathing, and learning your own pace are the goals for this workout. Shoot for at least 2 rounds per cycle.
5 Cycles:
3:00 AMRAP
5 Push Ups (Barbell Push Press 95/65) (Barbell Push Press 115/75)
7 Single -or- Double DB Deadlifts (Deadlifts 95/65) (Deadlifts 115/75)
– 1:00 rest in between cycles
– pick up each AMRAP where you left off
Friday
Week 4 Strength –
Every 1:30 for 15:00
1 Clean & Jerk
– Build to a challenging single for the day
Conditioning –
There are no rests between your movement and the runs, so be sure to pace for the entire workout! Be cautious in going out to hard, if you do, the rest might be a little rough. I recommend, using the runs to recover a little bit and really get after the Devils Press and Thrusters.
A)
Every 2:30 for 4 Sets
400m Run (~:45 out/~:45 in)
Max Single Arm Devils Press
– Run should be ~1:30-2:00
