May your quads rest well tonight after the feast of Wall Balls.  For tomorrow.  We Snatch.

Squat Snatch

Build up to a Max effort

Rest 2 Minutes

B) 8 minute Max Snatch Power Output (weight x reps)  

  • 1 Squat Snatch
  • 4 Bar Hop Burpees

After every snatch you have to perform the burpees.  The work out is scored on your weight x snatch reps (ignore your burpees).  For example if you managed to perform 20 snatches at 40kg then your score is 800 (The fact that you would have had to do 80 Burpees is just some extra fitness for you :)  Alternatively you could do 10 snatches at 80kg and get the same score but will complete far fewer burpees.

WOD - Thursday 27th October 2016

Part A - every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:

  • 3 power snatches (touch and go)

WOD - Wednesday 26th October 2016

Every minute on the minute for 24 minutes complete (6 rounds):  

  • 1st min - 15 calorie row  
  • 2nd min - 12 bar facing burpee  
  • 3rd min - 9 chest to bar pull ups
  • 4th min - 6 shoulder to overhead (75/50)  

The idea is behind this is to increase aerobic capacity while also building muscular enderence in the pull up and STOH. Therefore it's important to complete movements fast/unbroken and well within the specific minute. In order to do this you may need to scale the movements, there will be plenty of ways to do this all of which will be explained in the class.

WOD - Tuesday 25th October 2016

Part A - Establish a 7 rep max Front Squat. 

When trying to establish a maximum load you should always go to failure. Be ambitious, get some weight on that bar and don't be afraid to fail! 

Part B - complete for quality not for time 

30 - 20 - 10  

  • GHD sit ups  
  • Strict Ring dips  

just because it says 'not for time' doesn't mean it can't be fast, just make sure you put form/quality of movement before speed. It's not important to do this quick, it's important to do this well! 

have a watch of these demo videos.  

WOD - Monday 24th October 2016

Had an amazing weekend competing in the coalition games! We had great teams representing the box and doing us proud. Also a shout out to all those that came down to watch; makes all the difference having you guys there for support!  

 

WOD

Part A - 3 rounds for quality

  • 10 Good Mornings  
  • 20 stationary lunges stepping back  

Both movements are performed with a bar. Add load if possible but ensure you have good form when doing so. The purpose of this is to not only warm you up for part B but to help strengthen and activate your glutes/hamstrings.  

 

Part B -  5 rounds for time: 

  • 10 Deadlifts (100/70) 
  • 20 wall balls (20/14)  

the purpose of this is to make you hurt! (In a good way 😉)
