Tuesday 4/1

Lifting: 

A. 5 x 3 Split Jerk

B. Gwen: 15-12-9

*Unbroken Clean & Jerk, this is not for time. You may rest as long as you need between sets. However, once you start a set the bar cannot rest on the ground. The goal is to choose a weight you can use for all three sets. If the weight you choose is too light/heavy you may adjust accordingly.

WOD: 5 x 90 Seconds

200 M Row

5 Power Snatches 145#/100#

Friday 3/27

WOD: 14.5
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Thruster 95#/65#
Bar Facing Burpees
*I would recommend limiting how many times you let the bar touch the ground and picking a good pace on the burpees. I wouldn't start too slow, over pacing is something you want to avoid. This is really about digging deep and fighting through. You will not fail a burpee and shouldn't fail on a thruster. This is a test of mental strength.

Strength:
A. 7 x 5 Back Squat (compare to 1/25)
B. 20 Rep Strict Press

Wednesday 3/26

Friday 3/21

WOD: 14.4

-Keep your heart rate low on the rower, don't try and sprint through it. 

-Keep the sets small on the T2B

-I would say you can go for bigger sets on the Wallball, but not too big. Otherwise, your heart rate will spike too much
-Fast singles on the Power Cleans

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY WHEN DECIDING HOW MUCH OF THE FOLLOWING TO DO:

Every 2 Minutes for 10 Minutes: Snatch Complex

Strength 1: Establish a 20 RM Bench

Strength 2: Back Squat Fun!!

A. Work up to a 1 RM Back Squat

-rest 5 Minutes-

B. Max Reps @ 245#/165#

-rest 5 Minutes-

C. Max Reps @ 225#/155#

-rest 5 Minutes-

D. Max Reps @ 205#/145#

*For B,C, and D: This is until failure on each set. Failure does not mean it hurts, failure means not being able to stand up with the barbell and having to dump it (please know how to do that!)

Thursday 3/20

Active Recovery: Do something that makes you sweat but isn't too taxing. Spend 30-60 minutes working mobility in the shoulders and hips.

Here are two videos of Lindsey Valenzuela, one from 2009 the other from 2013. Just goes to show where dedication and hard work can take you.

*Do Not Pace Part A for Part B. Go hard on Part A, have fun on Part B (sadistic? maybe)

**For the T2B, Squat Cleans, & Shoulder-to-Overhead: Make it a goal to do as many unbroken as possible. I know this isn't the best strategy for maximizing rounds, but the goal here is to push your muscular endurance. 

Strength: EMOM x 10

2 Back Squats (do not use a belt)

Monday 3/17

WOD: 2 Options

35 Bar Facing Burpees

3/14

WOD: 14.3, AMRAP 8 (see description here)
Box Jumps 24"/20"
Deadlifts
*No need to start out fast, or you will burn out. This is about pacing. Do not attempt to do too many deadlifts unbroken or you will spike your lactic acid. Also, try to hold good form on deadlifts for as long as possible. The standards allow for you to do stup-ups onto the box, so that is something to consider. That method will settle your heart rate and save the posterior chain for the deadlifts.

Recovery from 14.3: Mobility WOD

A. Build to a Heavy 7 Rep Bench (Compare to 1/29)
B. Incline Bench Dumbbell Row: 3 x 10, 2 second pause at top (focus on engaging muscles in upper back)

****Monthly Challenges: Hey guys, I know we are in the middle of the Open but this is something I am going to start doing. I think it will be great to accompany the regular work we do and won't be taxing on your body.
The challenge for the remaining 3 weeks of March: Accumulate 100 Strict Pull-ups per week. I think this will be great for helping you be consistent in developing strength and will help you hold yourself accountable. You can break them up however you want, the goal is 100 in the week. I am actually doing this right now too so it would be cool to have a few others on board! I am doing 20/day on the days I workout.
        *If you are really good with strict pull-ups, do Strict C2B!
        *If you cannot do strict pull-ups, your goal is 50 ring rows with your feet on a box the same height as the rings + 50 Pull-up negatives
       *No Kipping


****Also, please keep posting. If you are doing the challenge please include in your posts how many strict pull-ups you completed for that day and how many you have completed for the week total. ****

3/6

Active Recovery

EMOM x 12
Even: 10-15 Cal Row
Odd: 5-7 Squat Therapy

5 x 10 Close Grip OHS: This is NOT about adding weight. Depending on your level of flexibility, you might be able to do this with a 45# barbell no problem while someone else might struggle with the PVC pipe. The goal here is to get your hands to within 6" of each other and be able to perform a proper OHS with an upward torso. Start wide and gradually narrow your grip. Do this after the EMOM.

30 Minutes of mobility work

3/3
