Tim, Katelyn & Paul (not a Tortuga, but loves them) hustling through their 800m Jaunts; YESSS!!!!!!!!

Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice (Dynamics, Rounds & Reps, Games, etc.)
II. Set-up, Training Flow & Movement Review

Impact/Focus: Turkish Get-ups, DB Snatch, Gymnastic Pulling Strength

Triple E3MOT3M of

4 x 1-arm DB Snatch (2 per arm)

Notes: Climb weight as able across Turkish Get-ups & 1-arm Dumbbell Movements. Movement points of performance and practice will be the priorities of the day for newer athletes. Priority is on the Dumbbell Movements, logistics for larger classes may require relegating the Ring/Pull movement sets to Per-MetCon Warm-ups or split athletes into two alternating groups (Dumbbell/Gymnastics) and alternate tasks with one another.

Crouching Tiger, Jumping Ryan, Yessssss!!!!!

Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice (Dynamics, Rounds & Reps, Games, etc.)
II. Set-up, Training Flow & Movement Review

Impact/Focus: “Lynne”
5 Rounds of
Bench Press x Max Reps (bodyweight)
+
Pull-ups x Max Reps

Notes:

  • This is a Benchmark WOD.
  • We will hold athletes to 3:30 per round. Scaling will address the Bench Press either based on half or three quarters of bodyweight (ish) levels, as this will function well as a reference for future “Lynne” retest comparisons…
  • OR athletes may need to prioritize the volume objective per round of 10 reps or more.
  • Pull-ups scaling will mirror the intentions for volume as described above.
  • The most recent “Lynne” blog post link for 05.10.2023 may be found HERE.
