WOD: Wednesday

CrossFit Games Open 11.4
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
60 Bar-Facing Burpees
30 Overhead squats 55/40kg
10 Muscle-ups

Notes: There are a couple of way of hitting this one.  If you are planning on competing in the Rx division in the Open, then just go for it and see how you go regardless of whether the workout suits  you or not.  We don’t get to choose what comes out in the Open so a dose of reality can be a good thing at this stage.  If you are going to compete in the scaled division or you’re doing CrossFit purely for health and well-being, I would suggest doing half reps possibly with lighter weight and a muscle-up substitute to get more of the complete effect of this workout rather than potentially spending 5-7 minutes just doing burpees.

WOD: Tuesday

A. EMOM x 7:
2 Front Squats 80-85%

B. EMOM x 7:
Pull-ups
*Choose your own reps with the aim of maintaining across the 7 rounds.
*You may choose any style of pull-ups. The style should be maintained across and representative of what you’re training for.

C. EMOM x 7:
Dips
*Choose your own reps with the aim of maintaining across the 7 rounds.

Notes: The clock will be running continuously throughout this workout and it will be up to you to manage your time and rest between the three elements.

WOD: Monday

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 9 minutes of:
15 Box jumps, 24/20″
12 Push press, 50/35kg
9 Toes-to-bar

Rest 1 min.

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
15 Box jumps
12 Push press
9 Toes-to-bar

Notes: More Open prep work here. This is another one of those workouts that is longer with more reps than you would choose for yourself. Originally 18 minutes, this time broken into 2 intervals with only 1 min. in between. Set a pace as though you are working all the way through and use the minute rest break to re-assess your strategy if you’ve gone out too hard.

WOD: Saturday

WOD: Friday

Read: How to get a Muscle-up (and repeat it).

[A] Deadlift
10 x 50%
8 x 60%
6 x 70%
4 x 80%
2 x 90%
*Rest 2 min. between sets.

[B] For time:
50 KB Swings
25 Box Jumps
40 KB Swings
20 Box Jumps
30 KB Swings
15 Box Jumps
20 KB Swings
10 Box Jumps
10 KB Swings
5 Box Jumps

Notes: The aim of the game for Part B is to keep moving. The weight and height are up to you but don’t get carried away and make this about going the heaviest/highest. The best effect will come from picking a weight/height that induces the least rest (without totally dogging it of course!). As a guide for the KB, pick a weight that gives you a shot to get the first 50 reps UB and for the BJ mix and match styles (re-bound, jump up/down, step up/down) to keep moving.

 

WOD: Thursday

Five rounds:
8-10 Bent Over Row
Rest 45 sec.
60 sec. Candlestick
Rest 45 sec.
10-20 Evil Wheel
Rest 45 sec.
Max Effort L-sit
Rest 45 sec.

Notes: While this workout is not for time, by sticking strictly to the 45 sec. rest breaks you will find that there is certainly a conditioning effect. For the B.O.R., pick a weight that is quite maximal for 10 reps in the 1st round and try not to let it slide under the 8 as the rounds go on. If your L-sit is short or non existent you can scale back by bending at the knees or through plank variations.

 

WOD: Wednesday

Perform as many rounds as possible in 20 min of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
1 Snatch

Notes: The score for this workout is your total kg snatched. The load us up to you, so if you’re awesome at Cindy (5 Pull-ups, 10 Push-ups, 15 Squats) you might get away with a lighter snatch and still get a good score. Or, if you’re a weightlifting guru you might get away with not so many rounds and a big snatch each round. Ultimately, as is the goal of CrossFit, the person with the best spread of abilities should come out on top.

WOD: Tuesday

A. 10 min. to work up to a heavy Turkish Get-up (see video).

B. EMOM x 20:
Min 1: Run 200m
Min 2: TGU Right
Min 3: Row 200/180m
Min 4: TGU Left

Notes: The Turkish Get-up should be heavy relative to the time you’ve got to complete it (1 min.) and the amount of fatigue you’ll experience during the workout.  As I always say, pick a weight that leaves a little doubt about getting through it but don’t go so heavy that you’ve got zero chance.

WOD: Monday

Perform as many rounds as possible in 6 min of:
5 Power Clean 65/45kg
10 Toes to Bar
15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies)

Rest 1 min.

Perform as many rounds as possible in 5 min of:
5 Power Clean 65/45kg
10 Toes to Bar
15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies)

Rest 2 min.

Perform as many rounds as possible in 4 min of:
5 Power Clean 65/45kg
10 Toes to Bar
15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies)

Notes: This is an interval version of CrossFit Open workout 11.5 which was a continuous 18 minute AMRAP. Why split it into intervals? The intervals allow you to play around with different pacing/strategy and the rest breaks give you an “out” if you get it wrong. My suggestion is that you hit the 6 min. interval as though you were working for 18 min. continuously and see how you feel by the 6th minute. If you get it wrong and go out too hard, you at least have a rest break after 6 minutes to sort it out and if you go too easy you can learn from this and find ways to pick it up in the latter intervals.
