Monday
| Strength/Skill: Deadlift 12 minutes to work up to a heavy double at 80% |
| Met-Con:
“Smoking Guns” |
Use a weight you can move unbroken! This will get hard really fast. It is a sprint wod. Focus on staying close to the box on the jump overs. The weight should be light enough to allow fast transitions.
Tuesday
| Strength/Skill:
Hang snatch + snatch 1 rep every 1:15 |
| Met-Con:
4 Rounds for time of: |
| roll lats and lower back |
| This is to train a fast 3rd pull to punch under the bar. After we practice it EMOTM will try and do it under a bit of fatigue. Oly lifitng isn’t about lifting as much as you can every time. Don’t go up unitl it looks pretty. The same is true for the metcon. Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. |
Wednesday
| Strength/Skill:
Knees to elbow skills |
| Met-Con:
Partner Filthy Fifty (teams of 2) |
| Don’t die |
| Use this day to get better at KTE. They are much harder than TTB IMO. They will really help train your kip and increase connectivity for the more advanced gymnastics moves. There really 2 types of metcons, those that challenge how much power you can produce, (think VO2 max), and those that challenge how much you can sustain(lactate threshold LT). The first one can be improved to a point, but it is limited by genetics. LT can be improved for a really long time. These longer more endurance focused workouts, especially with the 1:1 wk/rest are designed with the intent of improving LT. |
Thursday
| Stregnth/Skill:
5L/5R windmills SS 15 v-upsx3 |
| Met-Con:
800m run |
| Similar to yesterday in time frame, but this time you don’t have a partner and pacing is all important. In endurance terms, this is tempo work. As far as the movement goes, plank rotations and windmills all have one thing in common regarding this wod. They train our transverse plane. In life, we don’t get into a perfect set to move objects. One of the reasons over 80% of Americans have back pain is due to a lack of strength regarding rotation. Thats why we keep doing these movements! |
Friday

Back squats 3×6 @ 80%
