WOD – “Variant Brewery”

3-6-9-12-15…
Toes to bar
Clean and jerk (135/95)
AMRAP 12

WOD Brief

Strong and steady is the play here after a full work of training. Hit good positions, be efficient, and reset between the rig and your barbell. Reset every time with the barbell, so attack is in sets. A great way to bring in the weekend. Hope to see everyone at Variant Brewery Friday night and Saturday we are at the Starry Night 5k fundraiser.

WOD – “Captain America”

5 rounds for time
30 air squats
15 GHDSU
5 Bar Muscle ups

WOD Brief

Push yourself where you can in this workout. The first two movements allow you to move aggressively and blindly fast. The muscle-ups or your scale require you to be a bit more patient creating those gymnastic shapes. Use your momentum in the gymnastics part to your advantage, and you’ll link together your first or fifth rep with ease.

WOD – “Candy Corn Crush”

AMRAP 7
Run 400m
100’ prowler push (90/60)
30DU
rest 2 min

AMRAP 7
100’ Prowler Push
Run 400m
AMRAP UB HSPU (Score is HSPU)

WOD Brief

The first 7 minute AMRAP is designed to hit the sympathetic nervous system, so you should go at these movements hard and with the proper mindset. No pacing here, go hard the entire 7 minutes. Hit the run at a strong pace, rock the prowler, and be quick to the DUs.  Get aggressive, explosive, and go kill ’em reps! Do not cheat yourself. If you go too slow, the workout will be ineffective.

The second AMRAP is designed to hit the parasympathetic nervous system, so I want muscle failure with each and every one of them. Pacing is welcomed, as long as you push to that last rep of the HSPU (scale to wall walks if you need 2+ abmats to ensure we are building that strength).

Happy Halloween – Tuesday, October 31st 2017

WOD – “Hang on”

9 Hang snatch (115/80)
12 Bar facing burpees
15/10 cal assault
Rest :90 after each round
4 rounds for total time

WOD Brief

This is a sprint. The barbell is slightly heavier than classic movements, but the lower reps should allow you to progress through them. If you cannot go unbroken, go for a 5/4 split.  After the hang power snatch, full speed ahead!

Effort is about 85-90% effort (VO2Max) and in the rests you should attempt to take in THIRTY deep diaphragm breaths – it doesn’t matter how, just get the O2.

WOD – “I’ll have what they’re having”

Teams of 3
On a 25 Minute Running Clock
From 0- 10
50 Back Squats 185/135
50 Bench Press (135/95)
50 Deadlifts (225/155)
AMRAP Ski cals

Rest 5 min

15-25 min
50 Deadlifts
50 Bench Press
50 Back squat

AMRAP ski cals
Score is Ski Cals

WOD Brief

The reps and weight should be something you can move diligently through and have plenty of time to go through a SKI sprint. If you’ve been to PartyWOD these past few months you are familiar with the need to move quickly here. Moving quickly = you sprint the Cals and when you lose about 5% output, you switch as quickly as possible. Have fun and then rest in that healthy 5 minute time block.
