Weekly WOD Insights 5/10/21
Monday
Bringing back the ol meat and potatoes aka the Push/Pull Emom. If you were able to do last weeks then I would encourage you to stick with the same movements this week, and try to increase the volume or loading. For the finisher you will want to select a weight that you feel very comfortable cycling for a long time. Be careful on those burpee box jump overs! It’s easy to go a little too fast on those and find that your heart rate is through the roof. Pace them out, find a rhythm, and stick to it.

The goal for the amrep set is to take whatever weight you did for the previous set, and try to squeeze out 1-3 more reps. Its okay if you end up being tapped out at 4 reps, that just means that you have found your limit! Im calling all tall guys for todays beef/bison challenge. Wall balls are one of two movements that favor the tall folk….so put those long limbs to use and let’s see what you can do!

Wednesday
For todays WOD I would encourage you all to keep track of each round individually. The goal would be to keep all the rounds within about :10s of each other. A little deviation is to be expected, but you do not want to have massive differences between your rounds. As you all may have noticed recently, Nabil has purchased a plethora of new machines! We now have two ski ergs, 3 echo bikes, all in addition to our assault bikes and rowers we have. I would encourage you to try a machine you don’t usually use. If you’re looking for a nice tricep pump, I would opt for the ski erg! Summers almost here!

Today we have a repeat workout. This workout is from the first month of when we were coming out of lockdown. For a lot of us (myself included) that meant coming off a period of not being as active. Since then a lot of you have been getting back into the swing of your fitness, which makes today a great opportunity to see how much you have improved!

Saturday
If you are someone who is still working on getting the double under down, be sure to not spend any longer than a minute on each set. I would still encourage you to practice them in todays workout as they will only get better if you consistently put in the practice. Todays workout is a great one to practice doubles on, given there is an entire other section to do after the double under portion. I always enjoy pairing metcon squatting with a midline movement. I find that it really tests out your midline strength and lets you see if you can still manage to stay braced while under fatigue.
