Weekly WOD insights 5/17/21

Monday 

Over the past couple of weeks we have done 6’s and 4’s. If you made it for both then you should have a pretty good idea what you can do for todays first two sets. The goal for today is not to necessarily set a personal best on any of the sets, but rather to get 3 solid, heavy sets. For the finisher you will have to manage/determine when you need to leave to make the 200m run before time expires. If you know how long a 200m run takes you, aim to give yourself that much time to make the run at the end. Don’t be afraid to push it close to the time cap!

 

A.) Back squat/Front Squat/Overhead Squat 

                        6-4-2

 

B.) 8 Minute clock 
403m run
————-
Amrap
5 Power Cleans 95/65 115/75 135/95 155/105 or Power Snatch 75/55 95/65 115/75 135/95
5 Burpees (adv Bar facing Burpees)
————–
Run 200m before time expires

 

 
Tuesday 
Today we have a repeat workout. I think this workout is great because you can approach it a number of ways. If you’re feeling fairly fresh, you can be aggressive on the pacing and really push the machine calories. The beauty of ending on a machine is that its fairly low skill, and allows you to maximize intensity. If you are feeling fairly sore or even just fatigued for whatever reason, this is a great workout to coast on. Find a manageable pace, keep it there, and just move some blood around your system. You’ll feel much better after and be able to come back and hit it hard tomorrow. If you did do this workout last time it was programmed, you are always encouraged to try and beat your previous score!

Wednesday 
This will be week 3 of the push pull Emom that I have been working in. If you have made it for the previous two I would encourage you to stick with what you have been doing and try to increase your weight or volume on your movements. I did add a few more options in for this week so if you are absolutely done with the movements you have been doing, feel free to switch it up. The finisher should be a good blend of patterns, bring your grit and try to push through it!

 

 
 
 
 
A.) 6 Minute alternating EMOM 
1- 8-15 Push ups, DB bench press, ring push ups, ring dips, DB strict press, Z press

Thursday 
Today you have two options on the formatting. If you have been doing crossfit for 6+ months, I would highly encourage you to give the chipper a shot. We don’t get a lot of them in our programming and I think they provide a unique challenge thats fun to try out every now and then. If huge sets of burpees and kettlebell swings scare you, opt for the non chipper version!

 

 
 
Chipper version 
40 Down ups (adv Burpees)
40 Russian Kb swings 53/35 (70/44) (am swings 70/53)

40 Cals any machine (Beef Bike only)

30 down ups
30 Russian KB swings
30 Cals any machine
20 Down ups
20 Russian Kb swings
20 Cals any machine

 

Non Chipper version 
5 rounds 
18 Down ups (adv Burpees)
18 russian swings 53/35 (70/44) (am swings 70/53)
18 cals any machine

 

Friday 
For todays olympic lifting advanced option, you will have the option to work on both variations of the jerk. Even though people tend to vastly prefer one or the other, it is still good to practice both variations! Having more movement diversity in your program can help improve your strength. I want todays finisher to be somewhat stressful. It should be a good challenge for you to finish in the allotted time. The first few rounds might feel not too bad but I want rounds 4 and 5 to be a grind! Don’t be afraid to go heavier on the deads, or do a few more wall balls if it means it will be a better challenge for you.

 

 
A.) 12 Minute emom 
2 Clean and Jerks or snatches

 

Adv clean and jerk option
12 Minute emom
1 Clean + Push jerk, 1 Clean + Split Jerk

 

B.) 5 rounds

10 Double unders or 30 singles (15) (30)

 

 

Saturday 
With Memorial Day Murph coming up I figured it would be a good time to revisit a Cindy-esque WOD since that’s the popular way people break it up. If you don’t know what Murph is, you can read up on the workout and it’s significance here. Even if you don’t have ambitions in participating in Memorial Day Murph, todays workout will still be a good opportunity to test out your upper body endurance! If you feel like you’d like to give a classic CrossFit benchmark workout a shot, try the beefy version “Cindy.”
