The last EMOM Monday for the month! t is a great mix of monostructural and moderate loading using a work/rest protocol. Lots of pulling, so make sure you don’t hang on to that barbell any longer than they need to!

For the first 3 sections, you have 5min to get each movement done. You get to rest the remaining time left in those 5min sections. For the last section, the 25 Squat Cleans, You have as long as it takes. However, ideally it shouldn’t take longer than 5min, But you may be a little fatigued from the previous movements AND 25 Squat Cleans is spicy no matter where they are programmed!

Also this week.

6 1 Front Squat + 1 Wall Ball
5 Rounds

We have never done the little MB Complexes that we have written before in a Workout. Warmups, yes. It’s a great way to get some extra Squats in without having to perform too many Cleans or Wall Balls. (You are welcome) Squats are faster and are slightly less taxing mentally and physically than the other two movements. Also, it’s something different and fun. 🙂 How it works: 1 rep = 1 MB Clean + 1 Front Squat. Perform that 6 times per each round. Same with the second Couplet. So, essentially it is 2 reps for every 1 rep.

Workout of the Day

5min AMRAP Burpee
3min Hold at the bottom position in Ring Row
rest 2min
5min AMRAP meters Row
3min Plank

We love the setup of this workout. We know how hard Static Holds can be, which is why we don’t program them all that often (probably more than most though! Sorry :-)). Usually, people will come down from a hold mentally before they physically fail, we get it, they are brutal!  But to help out we made it into a game. The rep deduction penalty Game!!! Each time they come down from the Hang, they take 3 reps of Burpee score and each time they come down from the Hold, they take 100m off Row score. So fight for your right to party and hang in there. This is a spicy one.

Split Squat

Split Squat
2-2-2-2-2

 

With two longer more metabolic workouts this week, we are focusing today on lifting only. The split squat is a lunge performed in sequence with 2 reps on one leg and then 2 reps for performed on the other leg, so a total of 4 reps. The athlete steps forward and out, taking a squat width with the feet, front shin angle is vertical and the back knee makes contact with the ground. The athlete locks both knees back out to the top of the lunge without stepping back in line, and then performs another split squat by dropping the back knee down to the ground again, and then locking out. Once this is complete, the athlete steps the feet back together and switches sides, performing the same sequence on the other leg. Athletes can choose which leg they start with, oftentimes choosing the weaker leg to start as the midline is fresher at the start of a set rather than at the end.

Take your time and make these pretty.

Workout of the Day:

14 Parallette Passthroughs
7 Shoulder Press (95/65lbs)
14 Back Squat
7 Burpee Box Jump (24/20”)
5 Rounds

Fitness

14 Passthroughs
7 Shoulder Press
14 Back Squat
7 Burpee Box Step Up
4 Rounds

After yesterday’s interval style workout, today we are performing 5 rounds of a workout mixed with gymnastics and weightlifting. Athletes will perform Parallette Passthroughs to start and then progress to a Shoulder Press with a barbell, where the idea is to transition from the last press straight into the 3rd movement, which is a Back Squat, and athletes will be squatting the same bar that they just pressed. Once they finish their squats, they progress onto a Burpee Box Jump which adds another plane of a pressing movement with a bit of a heart rate intensifier.

Should be a fun one.

RXD:

Odd minute: 3 Power Snatch (135/95lbs)
Even minute: 200m Run
12 minutes (6 rounds)

Fitness:

Odd minute: 5 Power Snatch
Even minute: 150m Run
12 minutes (6 rounds)

This is an alternating EMOM coupling up a moderate to heavy barbell load mixed in with running on the opposite minutes. At the beginning of the workout, perform 3 or 5 power snatches. This should be a challenging load where you have to perform 3 singles with good technique and can’t touch & go. Ideally, the snatches are taking no longer than 30 seconds. You can get a good chance to rest here as their next minute if  you are running 200m, and for most of you that will likely take almost the whole minute.Rest the remainder of what you have of the minute after you complete the 200m, which will likely be seconds after you get back to their barbell, and then go into another 3 power snatches. There are 6 rounds total of each movement.

A power snatch is anything caught parallel or above. As these power snatches are heavy, we want to encourage you to sit underneath the bar rather than jump their feet out to get underneath the load. In order to reinforce this muscle pathway, we are going to program some snatch balances into the session which will reinforce speed and position under the bar. Snatch balances will be done to full depth, but workout will be performed as power. Make sure you are taking advantage of this skill work!

Its the end of the week and we have a fun remix ( WHHAHAHT REMIX insert rap horn here) of 3 traditional benchmark workouts! This mashup features 3 rounds of Cindy to start out — try to go as close to Rxd as possible on this version since there’s only 3 rounds total and not a lot of volume. Challenge yourself to try a version harder than they normally do if you scale! After the 3rd round of Cindy, you will head out the door for 2 rounds of Nancy, and then after the last OHS, you  go back out the door again for one final round of Eva. For for OHS of Nancy, it is permissible to Squat Snatch as the first rep or Power Snatch into OHS – whatever you prefer. There is no break between the girl workouts as this is a continuous effort.

REMIX!!!!!!

Deadlift
1-5-10-15

After a fair amount of conditioning and mixed intensities this week, we are going to try a single modality strength session today: the Deadlift. There are 4 total work sets, with the scheme increasing in reps as you go. The first set is a heavy single.The main focus of the day isn’t the heavy single, however, you will have ample time to warm up to a maximal weight. From there, we will have percentage guidelines to finish out the remaining sets with, based off of the 1 rep you hit today. If these sets are done right and at the proper loading, you should be resting 3-5 minutes between working sets and should feel as though you  are going max effort. This is a slippery slope with the Deadlifting movement, so as always, emphasize position over weight lifted and modify rep percentages if you are having trouble.

And as always, on a lifting day, the best part of the class is lifting with a friend and encouraging others. Go go ahead and partner up and cheer each other on. Get excited if someone is going for a PR and make this about the community!
