Warm-up Drills
I. Speed Rope 6:00
Single-unders x 6 sets of
(:40 work x :20 Rest)
OR
Double-unders x 6 sets of
(:30 work x :30 rest)
II. 3 Rounds of Max Reps or 8-8-8 reps each round of
Chin-ups (Underhand/Normal Width)
Push-ups (Chest to Deck/Lockout:ROM)
Walking Lunges (alt.R/L)
III. Mobility

Notes: Double-unders or Single-unders is up to the individual athlete’s desire to improve on or acquire their Speed Rope abilities; choose the warm-up movements appropriately. Walking Lunges are 8 repetitions regardless of max rep sets or 3 sets x 8 rep options.

Impact/Focus: Press 5-5-5+
Work through the following percentage based sets outlined below, using 1RM x .9 to establish a submaximal starting weight.
Percentages for sets and reps are derived from this number.
The final set is a “+” set which means each athlete will attempt to execute as many additional repetitions as possible beyond the initial rep load prescribed.

5 x 40%
5 x 50%
3 x 60%
5 x 65%
5 x 75%
5+ x 85%

“Jailbirde”
Ten Rounds for time as follows
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 x Ring Push-ups
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 x Ring Row
5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 x Box Jumps (24/20”)

Notes: All athletes should be stepping down from Box Jumps with one leg at a time for the following month to six weeks of plyometric/vertical building training. Scale Ring Push-ups to Regular full ROM Push-ups (see cf.com if unclear) and scale further to ‘snake’ or ‘knees’ version Push-ups as necessary for individual athletes. Set-up Ring Rows/Ring Push-ups to facilitate the most challenging Plank position/Hollow hold position possible. Athletes generally find that suspending the rings level with the edge of a plyo box or even a KB Handle to multiply the efficacy experienced through this particular training evolution. Too belt fed? Eh.

Skill Development: Pistol/One-legged Squat
http://gymnasticswod.com/content/pistol

Notes: Individual effort as time permits to practice this particular balance/coordination challenging movement.

Warm-up Drills
I. Row 500m (Power Refinement Curve)
II. 3 Rounds of
Max Reps or 5-7 x Pull-ups
Max Reps or 15 x Push-ups (ARMY PT STANDARDS)
Air Squat (wall therapy/bench for knee slide)
III. Mobility

Notes: Athletes working on developing their capacity to perform a deadhang Pull-up are encouraged to incorporate their normal Pull-up hand position, a wide grip version to work on developing an appropriate elbow track and shoulder girdle activation (in order to circumvent shoulders rolling forward from fatigue), and a narrow grip/chin-up (underhand) version. Try each round with a different option today and note differences and weaknesses as they present themselves. Sets have a required 5-7 rep minimum workload depending on the individual.

Impact/Focus: M.E. Back Squat
Warm-up with the percentage based sets/reps listed below (using your most recent 1-Rep maximum data to determine loads) before working up to a heavy single or new 1RM personal record.

5 x 40% (warm-up)
3 x 50% (warm-up)
3 x 60% (warm-up)

Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1

Skill Development: Pistol Practice
Athletes should spend any additional time at the end of class working on their current level of progression with Pistols. This can mean weighted pistols, unweighted, assisted to boxes (or a target), and even the ninja roll to pistol movement. Have fun freaks!

Saturday Open Gym 9-11am

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
―Friedrich Nietzsche

“Danny Sez”
Complete the following workload in repeating timed intervals until failure.
7 x Burpees (Jump/Clap)
7 x Pull-ups
7 x Thrusters (barbell)

Notes: Each round is against a 1:30 Running Clock; there will be chaos details awaiting those classes that need the infamous ‘Pays to be a winner’ treatment. Scaling will be be focused on adjusting the time of each interval so that athletes are able to benefit from the increase in intensity a guaranteed rest window should universally encourage. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t need to edit that last sentence 40+ times. Bring it freaks. Spoiler Alert? Choose Thruster weights wisely…

For time
Row 30kcal
Rest 1:00
Row 20kcal
Rest 1:00
Row 10kcal

Notes: Each of the Kcal workloads is individually timed, we will be showing athletes how to set-up their PM3 monitors to accommodate accurate score keeping/data recording while permitting the mind of the athlete to assault each work interval at maximal effort.

Warm-up Drills
I. Run 800m
II. 30 x Burpees
or
12 x Turkish Get-ups (6R/6L)
III. Mobility

Impact/Focus: Deadhang Pull-up, Rope Climb, Muscle-up
Against a 15:00 Running Clock work through one of the following
I. Deadhang Pull-ups 5-5-5-5-5
II. Rope Climb (w/legs)3-2-2-1
III. Deadhang Muscle-ups 2-2-2-2-2
IV. Muscle-ups (CFGS) 5 sets of 3+ reps

Notes: Rest between sets should be a minimum of 1:00 between efforts. Deadhang Pull-ups should be banded/modded to assisted negatives if applicable (athletes are encouraged to play around with width of Pull-up/Chin-up grip). Rope Climb ascents are with leg assist if necessary (L-sit Legless Rope Climbs for those out there feeling a bit frisky today). Deadhang Muscle-up sets are two repetitions each with turn-out from support position at the top of the Dip as well as with turn-out (salute) at the bottom of the start position (with false grip).
Muscle-ups (CFGS) are without a false grip, athletes should attempt to string together every increasing multiple rep sets if possible (development of the kip as well as proper shoulder girdle strength are paramount for athletes selecting this option).

“The Chief”
5 Rounds (3:00 on x 1:00 Rest)
Complete as many rounds & reps as possible during each work interval
3 x Power Clean (135/95lbs)
6 x Push-ups
9 x Air Squats

Notes: Ruthless modifiers today include Clapping Push-ups (scaled to Plyo-Push-ups as needed) and Jumping Lunges (athlete switches legs at the top of a plyometric vertical jump and lands in a full lunge. Alternating between Right and Left sides driving you crazy? Add the extra rep to make it ten if you’re really that upset about asymmetry in quad sweep. What?

Saturday Open Gym Hours: 9-11am
Come by and slay a WOD that you may have missed this past week, establish 1,3,5,10 etc rep records (maximums) for heavy lifts to prepare for upcoming strength rotations, work on skill development… Or if the fancy strikes simply grab a prowler sled, some additional weight, and haze thyselves with the following options.

Four Prowler Challenges
From the mind of Jim Wendler
Choose from the following and get after it, freaks.

Prowler Challenge #1
Number of Sprints – 6
Rest period of each sprint – 60 seconds
Distance of each sprint– 40 yards
Weight on Prowler – 140lbs total
Alternate between horns (vertical black posts) and highest low handle.

With this Prowler challenge, you will sprint 40 yards with your hands on the horns, rest 60 seconds, and the sprint back 40 yards while on the highest low handle. You will rest another 60 seconds and start the dumbness again. Go until you’ve done 6 total sprints: 3 on the horns and 3 on the low handles.

Prowler Challenge #2
Number of sprints/walks – 10
Distance of each sprint/walk – 30 yards
Rest period between sprints – 60 seconds to forever
Weight on Prowler – varies between
All sets done on the Horns

Descriptions of each set:
Set 1-2: 90lb
Set 3-4: 180lb
Set 5-6: 270lb
Set 7-8: 360lb
Set 9-10: 450lb

You will push the Prowler down and back for 30 yards with one 45 pound plate per horn, then down and back with 2 plates, etc. Keep going in this manner until you reach 5 plates per side.

Prowler Challenge #3
Weight: 90-180lbs (your choice)
Distance: Try for ¼ to ½ mile
Rest periods: Whatever and whenever…just finish the workout

Prowler Challenge #4
This one probably sucks the most out of all of them. This will give you the Prowler flu and the Prowler hangover. With this Prowler challenge, you’ll be pushing (walking) for time, not distance.

Push Prowler for 4 minutes, no stopping
Rest 1 minute
Push Prowler for 4 minutes, no stopping
Rest 1 minute
Push Prowler for 4 minutes, no stopping
Rest forever
