Weekly WOD review 2/15/21

Today we have a nice and simple Monday mover. This workout is very open style where you have a couple of simple movements, a manageable rep scheme, and an uncomfortable time domain. If you opt for the row today, you’ll be able to get through more rounds. If you want to opt for the bike, you’ll be spending a little more time on the machine. Thats not necessarily a bad thing though…it means less time on the dreaded burpees 😅 ! Your score for today will be your total rounds. Remember amrep= as many reps as possible!

Today you got your meat (Back or Front Squat, and Deadlift) and potatoes (upper, lower, and core accessories). The basics can take you very far if you dedicate time to them consistently. Despite what the internet will tell you, you really don’t need complex programming to get very very strong. You just need to consistently eat your meat (or beyond meat if you’re not a meat eater) and potatoes. For your accessories I would suggest picking something you think is a weak point in your fitness. Try to take a risk today for the finisher. See if you can get real close to the time cap, don’t always play it safe!

This weeks Olympic lifting will be building off of the work we did last week. Last week we incorporated clean pulls, this week we will be using the clean high pull to refine your technique. The idea behind the clean high pull is to still work on position in the pull, and contact point, but to also start to focus on bar path as you execute the high pull portion. If you feel like you want to just lift a little heavier, then the advanced option will be your bread and butter today. The finisher comes courtesy or Mr Art Hoover. This is a Rowd Royalty workout from a couple years ago. Rowd Royalty is an online rowing competition (think like the CrossFit open, but for Rowing only), in which you get humbled very quick and are reminded you not the star rower you thought you were…..or maybe that was just my experience. All joking aside I participated this last year with my team the “Sweaty Mandalorians”, which was comprised of JB, Patty, Lindsay, and myself. The competition was challenging but was also very fun to do with such a great team of people! The workouts were always tough, and it brought back a little bit of the old competition nerves from the glory days. Please direct all complaints to Art for this one.

The name says it all folks. Pick a pace, try and hold on, and see where it gets ya. The goal should be to hit each interval hard, by the end of it you should feel completely gassed. We don’t often tap into the super high intensity interval domain so this is your opportunity to do so. The goal should be to go unbroken on the kettlebell swings, and I would say if you want maximal intensity, reach for the assault bike, the assault bike will never let you down.
