Skill

tabata row
rest 1 minute
tabata double under

A full tabata is 8 rounds of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off. Today you’ll go through a full tabata on the rower followed by the same but with double unders after a minute of rest. If classes are large, plan to pair up and one partner can reverse the order of the tabatas. If you are still working on double unders plan to stay relaxed with some singles before some good attempts at a few double unders.

Workout of the Day

5 rounds of 3 minutes on 1 minute off
4 power cleans
3 thrusters
2 front rack walking lunge steps

Go over all three barbell movements today before deciding on what weight to do. Most likely the thruster or front rack lunge will be the toughest lift. Choose your weight based on the hardest movement for you and make sure you can do each set of each separate movement unbroken when you are fresh.

Skill

Front Squat
2-2-2-2-2

Work up in weight for a heavy double for the day or choose one weight and carry it across for five sets. If you are planning to go heavy remember that we never spot someone who is front squatting. Take an extra step back from the rack so that you have room to dump your bar if needed. Focus on a tight core and high elbows as you drive up out of each squat.

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 12 minutes
2-4-6-8-10 …
power snatch
lateral burpee over the bar

Your bar should be nice and light today to allow for larger set sizes for the power snatches. Be smart about your pacing, the reps will add up quick!

rx: 95/65 lb
sport: 95/65 lb

Workout of the Day

5 Rounds of 3 minutes on 1 minute off
9 air squats
6 drag rope double unders
3 deadlift

standard: 135/95 lb, drag rope single unders
rx: 185/135 lb
sport: 225/155 lb

Today’s workout consists of five short intervals. You’ll restart each interval with the air squats and continue adding to your score across all five rounds. Your final score will be the total number of rounds and additional reps completed.

If you’re still working on double unders, use this time to practice but limit your attempts to 20 or 25 seconds per round. For the deadlifts, choose a weight where three reps feel like an easy set when fresh. You can break them up as needed, but avoid going so heavy that you’re forced into singles.

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 20 minutes
30 sit-ups
20 hang power cleans
10 push-press

standard: 75/55 lb
rx: 95/65 lb
sport: 115/85 lb

Today’s workout has two very different barbell movements. Be sure to test both thoroughly as you warm up and load your weight based on what is more difficult for you. You’ll want a weight where you can cycle the hang power cleans in large sets. When it comes to the push-press we’re looking for a weight you could easily do unbroken while fresh. Think about efficiency and be sure to add some rest before your last set of hang power cleans. If you can, go straight from your last hang power clean into your first push press set so as not to waste a rep.

Skill

Back Squat
3-3-3-3-3

Work up in weight for a set of 3 or choose one weight and carry it across for three sets. If you are planning to go heavy remember to ask for two spotters and make sure your coach has gone over how to spot safely. Focus on an upright torso and tight core as you drive up out of each squat

Workout of the Day

AMRAP in 15 minutes
50 wall ball shots
25 burpee box jump overs
