BBG (off)
4 cycles of:
1. HSPU

Spend approximately 1:30 min working on each skill (so each cycle is approximately 4:30 plus transition time). Set a goal for each skill in the cycle. If HSPU are not yet attainable, perform 4 negatives per cycle.

For the pull-ups, perform 3 sets of strict pull-ups (i.e., no kipping) for the first 3 cycles (i.e., 1 set per cycle), and for the 4th cycle, perform as many kipping pull-ups as possible in 1:00 (CTB pull-ups are also acceptable).

If you weren't here last week to start working on strict pull-ups, click here and read the "Pull-up Notes" for an explanation of how this will progress.

If you weren't here last week to start working on strict pull-ups, click here (last Thurday's post) and read the "Pull-up Notes" for an explanation of how this will progress.


Conditioning
Partner "Morrison"
In teams of two, complete the following for time:
50-40-30-20-10 reps of:
Wallballs, 20#/14#
Box Jumps, 24"/18"
KB Swings, 1.5 pood/1 pood

Only one partner can be working at a time, and all the reps for one movement must be completed before moving on to the next. There is a 20 minute cutoff for this WOD, so choose an appropriate weight and box height.


Finale
Complete 25 or 50 dips or ring dips in as few sets as possible (no more than 5 sets). Between sets, stretch your calves for at least 2:00/leg (use a 45# plate or a squat rack).

BBG (off)
4 cycles of:

Spend approximately 1:30 min working on each skill (so each cycle is approximately 4:30 plus transition time). Set a goal for each skill in the cycle. If HSPU are not yet attainable, perform 4 negatives per cycle.


Strength/WL
Bench Press
2 x 5, 1 x 5+


Conditioning
You've just done "Helen Goes Upside Down" - let's see how your time from that compares to the one, the only, the original . . .

"Helen"

BBG (off)
4 cycles of:
1. Double-unders/triple-unders
2. HSPU
3. L-sit (on parallettes or the floor)

Spend approximately 1:30 min working on each skill (so each cycle is approximately 4:30 plus transition time). Set a goal for each skill in the cycle. If HSPU are not yet attainable, perform 4 negatives per round.


Strength/WL
Bench Press
2 x 5, 1 x 5+


Conditioning
7 rounds for time of:
10 Wall Balls, 20#/14#
7 Burpees

Strict pull-ups - 3 sets of max reps. If you can get more than 10, then add some weight. Between sets, do the pigeon stretch for 2:00/leg.

Thursday 2015.02.12

Push-ups and lunges galore (also, I feel like "Steve 
and the Purple People" would be a great band name)


Skill
4 cycles of:
1. Handstand/HSPU
2. L-sit (on parallettes or the floor)

Spend approximately 1:30 min working on each skill/movement (so each cycle is approximately 3:00 plus transition time). Set a goal for each skill in the cycle.


Conditioning
"Angie"
For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

20 min cap. You may also choose to do "Half-Angie" - choose the option that will allow you to finish in under 20 minutes. Intensity is one of the goals when doing conditioning, so choose . . . wisely (Indiana Jones, anyone?). For example, "As-Prescribed-Allan" can do 100 pull-ups, but it's probably going to take him 10 minutes and will involve quite a bit of resting. To keep the intensity up, Allan should go with the "Half-Angie" option.


Finale
Bar mash your thighs and hamstrings and/or mob your shoulders. This will help decrease any DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) you might experience the next day or so.

Monday 2015.01.26

Guess who's back!  Welcome back, Rowdy!


Skill
4 cycles of:

Partner WOD
4 RFT, "Tosh" style:
5 Burpees
15 CTB Pull-ups
25 Goblet Squats, 1.5 pd/1 pd (DB equivalents: 55#/35#)

One partner completes an entire round and then rests while the other partner completes his/her round, etc. Each partner completes 4 rounds (individually), so a total of 8 rounds are completed by the partners together. Post times to comments.


Finale
2:00/leg in the couch stretch and 1:00/leg hamstring bar mash

Conditioning

20 Ring Dips

Scale smartly on this one. The sub for ring dips is push-ups - choose ring dips only if you can get at least 20 unbroken (UB) reps. Likewise, choose a thruster weight at which you can get at least 14 reps UB.

Compare to 2014.01.20.


Finale
2:00/leg in the couch stretch and 1:00/leg hamstring bar mash
