Weekly WOD insights 11/8/21

Monday 

You will want to build from the previous weeks loading with your squats. If you haven’t already, you can try your hand at some back squat clusters. They are a great way to get volume with some slightly heavier loading. For todays finisher you will be able to attack the higher skill double unders after coming off of a bit of rest. If you are still working on getting your double unders down, the small bit of rest can allow you to focus on maintaining solid technique. Don’t be afraid to push the pace a little more today since you do have that bit of built in rest!

 

A.) Back squat or Front Squat
4-4-4-4
Adv option
2.2 – 2.2 – 2.2 – 2.2

Tuesday 
The barbell weight for today should be on the lighter side. You will be cycling lots of reps so you want to be confident in your ability to move the weight especially as you get more and more fatigued. You will have a good amount of rest between part A and B, so try not to hold too much back when you’re going through part A. For part B try to have an idea of how much time you want to give yourself to finish the 200m run and still make it in time. Don’t be overly conservative though and give yourself too much time at the end!

8 Deadlifts 75/55 (95/65) (Beef 115/75) (135/95 (165/115)

***Score amrap, and reps on the thrusters***

 

Wednesday 
The focus for todays workout should be on pushing the threshold all the way through that last set of box jumps. The machine activity at the end is really meant to be an active recovery kind of pace. Your heart rate should be able to go down a little bit while maintaining a nice constant movement. As always don’t be afraid to mix and match different levels!

Thursday 
The halt will be in the same position as last weeks reps. You will be halting right at the knee to reinforce good leg drive. If you were here for last weeks olympic lifting you might want to maintain or slightly increase the loading from last weeks session. Todays finisher should be a quick hitter. All the movements are very quick and you should be able to power through them fairly fast. Today would be a good day to try out a more advanced pressing movement. If you’re worried about not being able to make it through all four rounds of a new pressing movement, just revert back if you feel like you are hitting a wall.

 

 
 

A.) 12 Minute Emom 
2 cleans or snatches

 

Adv option

10 Sit ups, tuck ups, v ups (12) (15)

 

Friday 
Heavy deads are on the menu for today. pick a weight that will be tough for all five reps. It’s okay to slow down the pace on the deadlifts as needed since they are supposed to be on the heavier side today. Varying up different elements is a big part of CrossFit, so don’t be afraid to try something thats a little outside of your comfort zone!

 

 
8 rounds 
Beef/Bison only 25 double unders
5 Deadlifts 165/115 (185/125) (225/155) (275/205)

-:30s rest between each round-
*Start every odd round with 10 Double unders (20)

 

 

Saturday 
 Today you will be knocking out the higher skill stuff first so you can hit the more grunt style work with high intensity. If you’re someone who is developing their toes to bar, don’t be afraid to mix in some hanging knee raises if you feel like you’re hitting a wall. Be sure though if you are doing your hanging knee raises that you really emphasize driving with you lats as this is a key aspect of being able to eventually do toes to bar.

 

A.) 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Sunday Funday 
The first portion of todays workout will be mostly centered around developing skills and 0r strength. You will have some opportunities to attack some meat and potato push pull movements. If you’re someone with ambitions of climbing up that rope then be sure to get some practice in today! I will be coaching class so just let me know if you’d like my help to learn how to climb that rope. The second part is more geared towards metabolic conditioning. That is where you will get your intensity work for the day, so save it for that second part and get after it!
