Category: Workout of the Day

Skill

20x30s
1 power clean

Today is a great day to build to a moderately heavy single or to test your lifting endurance with one weight for all 20 reps that’s heavier than you might go in a workout. Focus on a controlled pull from the floor and a quick drop under the bar to catch the bar in a partial squat. If you find yourself smashing the bar into your collarbone it just means you need to speed up the turnover of your elbows!

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 15 minutes
200m run
35 air squats
50 alternating dumbbell hang clean and jerks

Choose a dumbbell today that you are pretty comfortable with. The set size of each round of alternating dumbbell hang clean and jerks is high and meant to be challenging but you’ll want to be able to knock out atleast 15-20 reps every time you pick up your dumbbell. Make your way through the runs and squats at a moderate pace so you’ve got something in the tank for the dumbbell!

Workout of the Day

10 rounds with 30s at each station
wall ball shots
pull ups

rest

You’ll have ten rounds to rack up as many rounds as possible for today’s workout. If needed get into groups of 2 or 3 to share bikes. Try to group up with people that want to ride the bike at the same seat height. Pull ups can be scaled as usual with a band, doing ring rows or even jumping pull ups. Your score will be total reps at the end of all ten rounds.

Skill

EMOM for 10 minutes
1 push press + 1 push jerk

Today’s EMOM is a great opportunity to perfect your push press and push jerk technique. The push press will be the deciding factor on weight which will likely lead to a lighter push jerk. Focus on a vertical dip and drive for both lifts. For the push jerk do your best to lock your elbows out quickly as you drop under the bar.

Workout of the Day

5 rounds of 3 minutes on 1 minute off
9 deadlifts
6 front rack lunge steps
3 push press

Base your weight choice today off of the push press. You’ll want to be able to complete all 3 reps unbroken throughout the workout. This might result in a lighter deadlift and lunge but that’s totally ok! Lunge steps will be in place and can be done by stepping back or forward depending on your preference.

standard: 95/65 lb.

Skill

12x45s
straight set of strict pull ups

We’re on the same clock as yesterday for our skill work, but with a body weight movement today! The 45 seconds will likely feel quite short as the rounds tick on so don’t be surprised if you’re set sizes drop as you go. Banded pull ups or ring rows are a great option if you’re not ready for unassisted pull ups quite yet and if you’re looking for a challenge give strict chest to bar a try!

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 20 minutes
10 alternating step ups
7 kettlebell swings
4 goblet squats

Settle in for the long haul today’s 20 minute AMRAP. The step ups will be unweighted so see if you can use those ten reps to catch your breath each round after the swings and squats. It’s ok for the kettlebell to be on the heavier side today but make sure you can complete all 4 squat reps unbroken in every round.

Skill

12x45s
1 squat clean

This is a great chance to build to a heavy single squat clean today. Focus on a smooth pull from the floor and fast elbows as you meet the bar and travel all the way into your squat before standing up.

AMRAP in 15 minutes
5-10-15-20-25…
push ups
200m run after each round

Today’s workout has a similar set up to Monday. You’ll start each round with a set of push ups followed by a 200m run to complete each round. Even though the push up set sizes will build fairly fast do your best to stick to the toughest version of a push up you can maintain. Knee push ups, box push ups, strict push ups from your toes or even strict handstand push ups are all great options for today!

standard: box push ups on 20″ box

Skill

4-5 rounds not for time
10 bulgarian split squats L
10 bulgarian split squats R
then 50m FAST run to wall
50m slow jog back
rest as needed between rounds

Today’s skill work can be done with or without weight. If you decide to add weight you can hold one dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest goblet style or two in a suitcase hold. Keep these fairly light and try to run fast! Do these with a partner or in a group so that you can rest while your partner(s) goes.

Workout of the Day

6 rounds of 2 minutes on 1 minute off
6 burpees
12 medicine ball sit ups

You’ll just need a medicine ball and an ab mat for today’s workout. In a workout like this it’s a good idea to focus on quick transitions and efficient burpee technique! Move fast and do your best to recover in your minute off after each round!

Skill

EMOM for 10 minutes
power clean + hang power clean

Spend 10 minutes working up in weight completing one power clean from the floor and one from the hang every minute. Add weight as you go and build to a weight that is equal to or heavier than what you might be planning for the workout. You can choose to link the lifts together or drop the bar after the power clean and reset with a deadlift before the hang power clean.

hang power cleans *
*20 double unders after every round

Spend some time going over double unders today so that you have a plan to get through today’s workout. After each set of hang power cleans you will complete a small set of double unders. If 20 is not a small number for you decide on a set size that feels very manageable and repeatable under fatigue. Even a set of 5 would be a great option! Challenge yourself to get at least one double under every round if you can! The hang clean weight can be a little heavy today but plan to be able to complete the round of 5 unbroken for sure if not a little further up the ladder.

We’ll use a 2:1 work-rest ratio today with 3 rounds at each of two stations for a total of 6 rounds. You’ll need a set of plates, a sandbag, and a pair of dumbbells. When it comes to the pinch plate carry, use plates that are challenging but reasonable enough that you can get down and back within about a minute to knock out reps with the sandbag or dumbbells. If the class is busy, team up with a partner so you can share dumbbells and a sandbag if needed.
