The sandbag to shoulder should take no longer than 1-minute to complete. Choose a moderate weight that allows you to move smoothly throughout the workout.

The calories should also take no longer than 1-minute to complete. Adjust the target number accordingly.

Friday 2023.01.13

Strength

Take 6:00 to build in weight to a moderately heavy set of 3 reps @ 10X1.

+

Every minute on the minute for 5:00:

  • 8 reps @ 10X1

Notes

Today’s strength is thrusters and it is two parts. You will first build in weight at your own pace to a moderately heavy set of 3 reps at a 10X1 tempo. Then, you will take weight off the bar and complete 8 reps every minute for 5-minutes at the same tempo. Aim to use just slightly more weight for the 5 rounds of 8 than last week.

The tempo is important. The :01 pause overhead allows you to take a breath between reps. Then work on descending smoothly and using the stretch reflex in the squat to help with the next rep.

Conditioning

Every 4:00 for 4 rounds:

  • 400m Run
  • 10 Weighted Step Ups (1 Dumbbell, hold anyway)
  • 10 Pull Ups

Notes

Today’s workout is 4 rounds of running, step ups, and pull ups. You will begin a new round every 4-minutes. Your score is the total time from all 4 rounds.

The runs should take no longer than 2:15. Adjust the distance accordingly.

The step ups should be done with a moderate weight dumbbell. You can hold it however you want and you should be able to complete the 10 reps unbroken every round.

The pull ups should be done in 1-2 sets. Adjust the number of reps or substitute jumping pull ups, ring rows, or banded pull ups.

Notes

Wednesday 2023.01.11

Strength

5 Sets

  • 1 Slow Snatch Pull + 1 Snatch w/ :02 pause at position 2

Notes

Today’s strength is the snatch. You will complete 5 working sets at the same weight of 1 slow snatch pull and 1 snatch with a pause at position 2 on the way up. If you successfully complete all 5 sets at your weight, next week you will add a little weight.

The slow snatch pull is an opportunity to refine your bar path. Focus on staying balanced and keep the bar traveling vertically.

The snatch will be completed with a pause at position 2 on the way up. During this pause your weight should be centered around the mid-foot and your shoulders should be over the bar in order to keep tension in the posterior chain. The snatch will be completed with a full squat.

Conditioning

  • 5 Kettlebell Snatch (right arm)
  • 7.5m Single Arm Overhead Walking Lunge (right arm)

  • 7.5m Single Arm Overhead Walking Lunge (left arm)
  • 30 Double Unders

Rest 2:30

Notes

Today’s workout is 2:30 of work with 2:30 of rest between sets. Your score is the number of rounds and reps completed across the 3 sets.

Strength

Bench Press @ 21X1

  • x 2-4 x 5 sets

Notes

Today’s strength is bench press. You will complete 5 working sets of 2-4 reps. Every rep will be performed with a :02 negative, :01 pause on the chest, and :01 pause between reps. You will use the same weight for all working sets. The goal is to complete 4 reps at the prescribed tempo for all 5 working sets. If you accomplish that, the following week you will use a slightly heavier weight. Here is an example of how this could look in practice:

Week 1: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×3, 100×3
Week 2: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×3
Week 3: 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4, 100×4
Week 4: 105×4, 105×4, 105×4, 105×3, 105×3

Conditioning

4 Sets

In 3:00:

  • 800-1000m Bike or 400-500m Row
  • Max Burpees to a plate in remaining time

No rest between rounds

Notes

Today’s workout is 4 rounds of 3-minutes of work. Each work interval begins with a row or bike buy-in followed by as many burpees as possible in the remaining time. There is no rest between rounds. When the 3-minute interval is over, you will immediately start the next round, completing the row or bike buy-in. Your score is the number of burpees completed across the 4 rounds.

The row or bike should take no longer than 2-minutes to complete. Adjust the target accordingly.

The burpee starts by lowering to chest and thighs on the ground and finishes when you are standing tall on top of a bumper plate. Aim for a repeatable pace on the burpees. Try to get the same number across all 4 rounds.
