Tuesday 211102 AMRAP 16: Step Over, Floor Press, Hang Clean

Though this is an all weightlifting day, the intention is that you push every individual round. See that forced 1 minute rest? That will allow you a brief repose to shake out the arms and get ready to hit the next round just as intensely! The floor press will likely be the limiting factor load wise. Choose DBs that allow 12 unbroken reps for at least the first few rounds. Breaking up the 15 hang cleans is fine, if not suggested, just make sure you rest as little as possible DURING your round. Remember that forced 1 minute rest?! 😉

Name this mystery gymnast?

16 minute AMRAP:
9 Weighted Box Step Overs (40/30#)
12 DB Floor Press (40/30#)
15 DB Hang Cleans (40/30#)
-rest 1 minute-

Monday 211101 Jackie

No yoga tonight (Monday November 1st)! Yoga returns to The Hut Monday, November 8th.

The Deadlift BBQ is this Friday, November 5th from 4:00-6:30pm! Bring something for the grill and a side to share. Deadlift in a morning class OR at the BBQ.

Congrats to all the October PRs!

“Jackie”
For time complete:
1000m row
50 Thruster (20/15kg)
30 Pull-ups

Compare to: Feb 10th 2021, Sept 11th, 2020, Nov 19th, 2019, Sept 28th 2018, Jan 2 2018, Aug 30th and July 19th 2017 in Wed 5pm Specialty class… and also in group WODs on April 8 2016, Dec 14 2015, July 22 2015, August 18 2014, April 19 2014, Feb 8 2014, May 1 2013, April 23 2012, Oct 12 2012, Dec 24 20

Intended Stimulus
1000m row, 50 empty barbell thrusters, and 30 pull-ups for time anyone?! Jackie is a classic CrossFit benchmark. Here is your path to a PR (or to the best possible time for YOU today): row fast, but not a pace that will blow you up. Maybe even consider rowing at a pace a few seconds slower than last time. Then, go unbroken as long as possible on the thrusters or break into 2 planned sets, and then break up the pull-ups as needed with VERY shorts bouts of rest! You’re looking to finish sub 10 minutes!

Thursday 211028 OHS 5×5 + Finisher

Come practice one of the 9 fundamental movements that is often labeled by many the most challenging. Get in lots of reps with little to no load. Develop sound positioning, work on the simple squat, dial in the dynamic portion of the squat while stabilizing load overhead, and reap the many benefits that developing a solid overhead squat has to offer. This excerpt from an early CrossFit Journal article says it all in regards to why this is one of our fundamental movements:

“The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement. This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts – the essence of sport movement. For this reason it is an indispensable tool for developing speed and power. The overhead squat also demands and develops functional flexibility, and similarly develops the squat by amplifying and cruelly punishing faults in squat posture, movement, and stability.

The overhead squat is to midline control, stability, and balance what the clean and snatch are to power – unsurpassed.” -Glassman 2005

20 minute AMRAP:
250m Row
25 Pull-ups
250m Row
25 Push Press (50/35kg)
post completed rounds + reps and any scaling

Intended Stimulus
With roughly 2:00 to 2:30 minutes of rowing each round, the strategy here lies in breaking up the pull-ups and push press into sets that allow you to keep moving at a moderate intensity for the ENTIRE 20 minutes, not just the first round or 2. Pick scalings for each movement that allow you to get 25 reps in 4 sets or fewer. Keep your rest during these sets of 25 short and intentional. Consider picking a number of seconds that you’re going to rest and hold yourself to that for as long as you can. Transition time will add up here, so be efficient getting off and on the rower, and stick to your planned rep scheme.

Tuesday 211026 Run and OH Lunge

Here we have a “compare to” workout from back in April of this year. Use the “prepare” button in SugarWOD to see your previous time and any notes you may have recorded. Then, create a plan using that information to set yourself up for a PR today! Days like this are exactly why you should log all your workouts AND include as much relevant information in the notes as possible. Now you’ll know how to get yourself to a PR, which is not only good for setting a new record, but for ensuring you hit the intensity you’re capable of!

Please welcome Nick, Dane’s cousin, to The Hut! Here he is front and center working on his deadlift technique.

For Time Complete:
800m Run

Monday 211025 Deadlift 7×3
