Tuesday 051
Warm-up: Focus on that lower back today. Grab a moderately heavy kettle bell or dumbbell and knock out 2 handed swings for 15 reps then do the same for single arm swings. Hanging knee raises for 2 rounds of 15 repetitions and some light dead lifts. Stretch and hydrate before, during and after the workouts.
WOD: 20 rounds for time of 1 dead-lift and 15 pushups, increasing the dead-lift by one rep each round. Example, round 1 - 1 dead-lift and 15 push-ups, round 2 - 2 dead-lifts and 15 pushups and etc…
Strength: Weighted pull-ups with an overhand grip- 5 sets of 3 repetitions followed by another set with reverse grip- 5 sets of 3 repetitions. Rest then complete two sets of strict dead hang max pull-ups.
Endurance: Recovery run for 20 minutes at 70%.
Coach's comments: Equipment needed - Olympic bar, weight, place for pull-ups and somewhere to run. Weight for WOD should be between 80 - 100% 134#of bodyweight for the dead lifts. No need to split the workouts apart today. Use the recovery run as a cool down from the workout. Keep track of how your body is doing and if you’re breaking down take breaks. There is absolutely no sense in breaking yourself down before you begin.
A couple questions have come up about overtraining and rest times. Listen to your body; it is the best indicator of how you are doing internally. Failure to do so will lead to overtraining and poor performance.
3... 2... 1... GO!

Monday 050
Warm-up: Jump rope or run for a few minutes before jumping into a warm-up of three sets of 15 light kettle bell or dumbbell squat cleans and 10 dips. Focus on warming up those shoulders and lower back. Emphasize depth in the squats and dips for the warm-up. Shoulder rotations with Cossack, hamstring and quad stretches are both a requirement for warm-up and cool down.
WOD: As Many rounds as possible of 5 - 2 Kettle bell or dumbbell squat cleans and 10 V-ups in 12 minutes. Aim for 35 to 55 lb dumbbells.
Strength: Weighted dips – 8 sets of 3 repetitions with the highest weight that good form can be maintained. Farmers walk with 3 / 4 bodyweight for 800 meters once the dips are finished. Ran out of time so I didn't get farmers walk done.
Endurance: Rest
Coach’s comments: Equipment needed – Dip bar, two 35 – 55 lb dumbbells or kettle bells and some fire in your gut. Complete the WOD first today if possible and try to split the workouts into two sessions an hour or more apart.
3… 2… 1… GO!

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Warm-up: Jog, jump rope or if you�re truly sadistic, do two minutes of burpees for a warm-up. Today is fast so spend more time warming up and getting ready.
WOD: Time is ticking � you have 15 minutes to knock out 50 pull-ups, 150 pushups, 225 squats and a 400-meter run. Break it up however you want to, but failure to complete the entire session is 25 burpees. Post completed time (to include burpees if you earned them) to comments.
Strength: Rest
Endurance:
Stationary Bike for 10 minutes

Coach's Comments: Equipment needed - Oly bar and weight. Enjoy days like today. Remember while ramping up for training, more is not always better. Cycle those ups and downs to maximize your returns and you will not regret it. Have a great day today and we'll see you tomorrow.

Tuesday 037
Warm up: lighter 1 arm and 2 arm kettle bell or dumb bell swings with emphasis on keeping a neutral spine and active shoulders. Alternate back and forth between those and dips to loosen up the shoulders and back while practicing good form. Stretch out and hydrate both before and after.

Monday 036
Warm up: Today is a lighter day for sure. Warm up the shoulders and lats as you begin to find a weight that is heavy enough for 12 reps. These need to be as heavy as you can tolerate.
WOD: Rest
Strength: Cable, seated, barbell or dumbbell rows (55#)and pull-overs (70#) 10 sets of 12 repetitions
Endurance: Run/Bike/Swim or row 8 rounds of 45 seconds on and 2:00 minutes off. Keep within 10% of your best spit time for a given modality and distance. For example 500 meter row split time = 1:23, keeping within 8 seconds of that for every row for a max of 1:31. I wasn't up for running and the gym was closed so I did some jumping jacks...nothing strenuous.
Coach’s comments: Equipment needed: Something to perform rows and pull-overs with. The run, bike, swim or row needs to be within that zone where you’re pulling out your fastest times.
