Weekly WOD insights 8/24/20
Monday
The barbell should be on the lighter side for you today. If you are new to olympic lifting you might want to opt for the front squat instead of the squat clean to maintain a higher intensity. Remember that the longer pieces of cardio are not just reserved for the people who always go advanced. If you feel comfortable tackling the longer runs even though you don’t normally do advanced, then go for it!

Something you may want to consider doing is bringing your own yoga mat. We will have push ups/burpees pretty regularly in our programming, and if you would like to prevent your favorite workout clothes or shorts from getting dirty, just keep a yoga mat in your car for use. You can grab one on amazon for about 15-20 bucks.

Wednesday
We worked with some longer cardio pieces with a small buy in to start the intervals. This week I wanted a more even split between the cardio and the amrap. When it comes to workouts like these you can attack it a couple of different ways. You can choose to go a with a more even split between the cardio and amrap or you can opt for a more “chill” pace on the cardio and go HAM on the amrap, using the cardio as more of a recovery piece.
Alternate every 3 minutes for 24 minutes between

Thursday
I am a big fan of these shorter work/ higher round workouts. I think they yield better intensity and it provide a different stimulus than yesterdays workout. We have limited toe to bar spots, if they are all taken, go ahead and opt for the V-up. It’s still a fantastic way to develop midline strength.
8 rounds
200m run or 250/200m row
10 Dumbbell snatches 45/25 (adv alt 50/35) (Beef 14 alt 50/35) (Barbell option: 8 Power snatches 75/55)

Friday
This week we are leaving out front squats for strength, and instead I have decided to put in split squats. Split squats are a great single leg movement that will develop lower body strength. For today you can opt to do dumbbell or kettlebell split squats.
A.) Alternate every 90 seconds for 12 minutes

Saturday
Similar to Monday’s workout, the barbell should be on the lighter side today. You will be cycling the barbell a lot today so choose a weight you feel confident handling even when you are fatigued. The 90 second rest is a bit longer than you would usually get so don’t be afraid to push a bit more than usual today.
