Conditioning:

With a partner, OPWAAT, AMRAP 25

50 wall balls
50 lateral burpee box jump overs

Notes

Today’s workout is a modified version of Quarterfinals workout 24.2. You will work with a partner and perform as many rounds as possible of 50 wall balls and 50 lateral burpee box jump overs in 25 minutes. One person will be working at a time throughout the entire workout.

Choose a light-moderate weight for the wall ball. You should be able to do 50 reps in 4 sets or less.

Choose a safe height for the burpee box jump over that allows you to move confidently through your reps. Step down from the box each rep. You can lower the box or do step overs if you are not confident jumping. These should be done in small sets, maybe 5 at a time before switching with your partner.

Strength

1. Snatch high pull + snatch (position 1) + overhead squat

build to heavy 1+1+2 without missing

Conditioning

3 rounds for time

300m run
50ft single arm DB overhead walking lunge
18 toes to bar

14 minute cap

Notes

Today’s workout is 3 rounds of a 300m run, 50ft of single arm dumbbell overhead walking lunges, and 18 toes to bar. Your score is the time it takes to complete all 3 rounds, or the amount of work done if you do not finish in 14 minutes.

The run should be about :90 or less. Reduce the distance if necessary.

Switch hands halfway through the lunge sets. You should be able to do each 25ft segment unbroken. YOu may do a front rack walking lunge if the overhead position is not available to you.

The toes to bar should be done in 3 sets or less each round. You may substitute knee raises, straight leg raises, v-ups, or situps.

Strength & Mobility

3-4 sets

incline db bench press x 8-10 @ 31×1 x 8-10
ring row x 8-10 @ 21×1 x 8-10
kickstand RDL stretch x10 + :10/side

Notes

For the ring row, pick a challenging angle for 8-10 reps at the prescribed tempo. Aim for 10 reps each set. If you reached 10s on each set last week then make the movement more difficult this week. This can be done by lowering the angle of your body. Once you are completely under the rings you can elevate the feet, and even add weight to increase difficulty.

Treat the bench press the same way as the ring rows–if you reached 10 reps on each set last week then go heavier this week. If you stopped short of 10 reps on any set then repeat the same weight until you are able to get sets of 10 across.

Conditioning

AMRAP 12

12-15 calories
50ft forward crawl
10 pushups
10 pull ups
50ft forward crawl

Notes

Today’s workout is a 12 minute AMRAP of 12-15 calories, a 50ft crawl, 10 push ups, 10 pull ups, and another 50ft crawl. Your score is the amount of rounds and reps completed in 12 minutes.

The calories should take about :45 or less. If you are significantly slower than that you can decrease the target range.

Complete the crawls in unbroken 25ft segments.

The pushups and pull ups should be completed in 1-2 sets per round. Elevate the hands on the pushup if necessary. Pull ups can be scaled to jumping pull ups or ring rows.

Wednesday 2024.04.24

Conditioning

With a partner, for time

800, 600, 400, 300, 200m run

*20 deadlifts, 30 v-ups, 10 synchro burpees after each run

30 minute cap

Notes

Today’s workout will be done with a partner and will consist of 5 rounds of running, deadlifts, v-ups, and synchronized burpees. The first round will be an 800m run, followed by 20 deadlifts, 30 v-ups, and 10 synchronized burpees. In the subsequent rounds the running distances will be 600m, 400m, 300m, and 200m, respectively. The deadlift, v-up, and burpee reps will remain constant throughout. Your score is the time it takes to complete the workout, or the amount of work completed in 30 minutes if you do not finish.

The runs will be completed as a team and should be done at an 8:00 mile pace or faster. This means the runs should take about 4:00, 3:00, 2:00, :90, and 1:00 (or less). Reduce the distance if you are significantly slower than that.

The deadlifts and v-ups will be completed OPWAAT. Do sets of 5-10 on the deadlift and 5-15 on the v-up before switching partners. This means the deadlift weight should be light-moderate. For the v-up you may scale to a single leg version, or perform tuck-ups or sit-ups.

Synchronized burpees will feature athletes being on the ground and in the air at the same time. These should be completed in less than 1 minute.

Tuesday 2024.04.23

Strength & Mobility

3-4 rounds

Bulgarian split squat @ 31×1 x 6-8/side
between sets cobra hang :20-:30 (center, left, right)

Conditioning

EMOM 5
8-10 cal row + 1 thruster

rest 1 minute

EMOM 4
6-8 cal row + 3 thrusters

rest 1 minute

EMOM 3
4-6 cal row + 6 thrusters

Notes

Today’s workout is 3 separate EMOMs with 1 minute of rest in between. You will start with a 5 minute EMOM of 8-10 calories on the rower and 1 thruster. After doing this every minute on the minute for 5 minutes, you will rest for 1 minute. You will then do a 4 minute EMOM of 6-8 calories on the rower and 3 thrusters. After the 4 rounds of this you will rest of 1 minute before finishing with a 3 minute EMOM of 4-6 calories on the rower and 6 thrusters. Your score will be the combined load used for each EMOM.

You should be rowing at a pace of 900-1200 calories per hour or faster. If you cannot hold that pace then consider slightly reducing the target calorie amount. If you’re able to hold 1200 cal/hour or faster you should be doing the top of the calorie range.

You will use three different weights on the thruster. The first EMOM should be a heavy heavy. Pick something that is heavier than you typically do in a workout but that you are not in danger of missing. The second EMOM should be moderate-heavy–maybe 10-20% lighter. The final weight should be moderate, or another 10-20% lighter. You should go unbroken throughout and should never be in danger of missing reps, despite the heavier nature of these weights.

Use the extra minute of rest between EMOMs to put away all extraneous weights.

Your calories shouldn’t take much more than about :90. Reduce the range if necessary.

Try to keep a smooth pace on the burpees. If you can’t finish in under 2 minutes then consider reducing the amount.

The power clean and jerks should be a moderate weight, completed in singles.
