Weekly WOD insights 11/23/20

Monday    I am hoping you guys can build from last weeks loading. The idea behind doing a halting rep is to reinforce good leg drive in the clean or snatch pull. A lot of the time we get fixated on the pull under the barbell (which is still important!) but we sometimes forget its […]

Monday  JB implemented some hang work to really refine bar-path and ensure you guys were aware of your lat engagement. For my block I want to reinforce leg drive. This is something very simple but sometimes overlooked when it comes to cleans or snatches. You never want to forget that you are using your legs […]

Monday  For todays olympic lifts you’ll have the option to cut it down to one rep if you are a more experienced lifter. We have been training for a couple months now so hopefully you all feel like you’ve been able to get some strength back. The finisher is a quick and easy one. If […]

Monday  I like to call workouts like these “Monday Movers.” Theres nothing flashy about them, no crazy movements, you just put in some simple and effective work.

Weekly WOD Insights 6/15/20

Monday  Today is going to be fairly warm so if you are planning on running the mile today, be prepared for a bit of heat. Be sure to hydrate before and after your workout. Don’t get too down on yourself if you find that you didn’t match or beat your previous PR for the mile, […]

Monday  If Burpees aren’t your strong suit, I would advocate doing the down up. It will still give you a good cardio stimulus without the limitation of pressing strength. The finisher should be short and sweet. You should be bel to hit it at a good intensity with the 2 minute rest.   A.) 8 Minute […]
