WODs

Welcome back – we hope you all had a great Easter long weekend.

Testing Day 2
Perform the following challenges in any order:
3RM Front Squat
1RM Power Clean
2RM Push Press
1RM Weighted Pull-up/Chin-up
*There are no time limits on any of the challenges however you should aim to complete them all in within the session. Combine the Power Clean and Push Press to save time if you wish.

We hope you all had a safe and happy Easter. We will be at the gym from 3:00pm-4:00pm. Come in for Open Gym and work off some of your Easter Goodness.

For anyone keen for a workout I will be heading to beach entrance 229 (see map) at 7:00am for a short session.

All are welcome.

Update: Chris & Marie are training at 3.30pm today – the workout will be a team rowing based workout. The specifics will depend on how many people turn up – all are welcome.

Please note that the gym is closed today for Good Friday. Have a great day!

EMOM for 20 minutes:
1 Power Snatch
2 Snatch Balance
3 Overhead Squat
*The aim for this workout is to increment your weight four times across the 20 rounds. For rounds 1-5 use a load that you can move easily (about 50% of 1RM Snatch) and then add weight at rounds 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20. The last 5 rounds should be close to maximal with consideration given to the volume or work and movements used.

6 x 400m Run
*Aim not to deviate more than 10 seconds from your fastest time.
*Work:Rest = 1:1

Before you decide to make today a rest day have a think about the overall concept of what we’re training for – increased ability in a wide variety of disciplines. This means that we must workout short and long, light and heavy, inside and outside, in the cold and the heat and with a broad range of exercises.
Like it or not, running is one of the most effective ways to develop cardio vascular conditioning and represents a weakness in most peoples repertoire. So, ignore that little voice in your head that is telling you otherwise and get your running shoes on!

Happy Birthday to Jesse Saliba today!

Testing Day 1
Perform the following challenges in any order with as much rest as you see fit in between.
– Toes to Bar: Max reps 90 seconds
– Box Jumps: Max reps 90 seconds (24/20″ box)
– Double-unders: Max reps 90 seconds
– Farmers Carry: Max unbroken distance carried (20/10kg weight plate pinch grip)
– Chest to Bar Pull-ups: Max reps 90 seconds
– Hand Release Push-ups: Max reps 90 seconds
– 10m Shuttle Run: Max distance in 60 seconds (3 point contact at each turn)

For load and time:
40 KB Squat 24/16kg (see picture)
40 Burpees (instructional video – here)
20 Front Squats (choose own load)
40 Burpees
40 KB Squat
*Front squats are taken from the ground.
*20 min cut off.

Tips: It’s likely that the load for your front squat is going to be limited by your clean – so when choosing your weight for the front squat consider how much weight you expect to be able to clean with the fatigue of the previous work under your belt.

Pick ONE of the following benchmark workouts:
Fran
Helen
Jackie
*If you’re scaling, pick the workout that needs the least modification.

A. Work to a 3RM Hang Power Clean (must be linked) (15 min).

B. EMOM for 10 minutes:
5 Hang Power Clean (must be linked)
Burpees (see tutorial – here)
*Score = total weight/total burpees.

Tips: When picking your weight for Part B, remember that this is a conditioning workout. The aim is to be able to pick the bar up at the start of each minute and perform 5 consecutive hang power cleans (not reverse curls) and then continue to work for the rest of the minute.
