WOD - Thu 8th June

200m Waiters Walks (20kg/15kg)

50 Burpee Pull ups

200m Waiters Walks (20kg/15kg)

I know what you're thinking.  What the hell is a waiters walk!?  Here is an instructional video but as tempting as it would be to ask you guys to use a plate as per the videoI think it would be safer all around if we used dumbbells or kettlebells otherwise I think we'd have some injuries.

WOD - Wed 7th June

It turns out that squatting a wall ball overhead may be harder than a barbell!

Don't wish it was easier, wish you had better mobility.   Tomorrow we're changing gears

  • Establish a 3 RM Back Squat
  • Establish a 3 RM Deadlift

WOD - Tuesday 6th June

  • Run 400m
  • 50 MedBall Cleans
  • 50 GTOH
  • 50 Overhead Squats
  • Run 400m

All the above (including the Run) to be performed with a Wall Ball! (20lbs/14lbs)

If you need to scale the Overhead squats then do so but use the Rx weight for the rest. If someone wants to be a hero and try the 30lb ball then go ahead!

Can anyone do it all unbroken?

WoD - Wednesday 31st May, 2017

The plan is to use part A to thoroughly warm you up, prime your central nervous system and get you ready to give 3 genuine attempts at a new PB. 

The first rep from part B should be a load that you've never successfully snatched. 

GOOD LUCK!

 "Murph"

For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.

Post time the whiteboard.

WOD - Wednesday 24th May 2017

Part A - EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 3 - 5 Strict Handstand Push Ups

The idea is to build some strict pressing strength in the handstand, so scale as needed to allow a strict movement. This isn't just good in developing the handstand it will also transfer into your overhead lifts by improving strength, stability and midline strength. 

 

Part B - For Time:  

  • 40-30-20-10 Wall Balls (20/14) 
  • 20-15-10-5 Ring Dips 

I challenge you to do the wall balls unbroken!  

 

 

WOD - Tuesday 23rd May 2017

Part A  - 15 minute EMOM 

  • 1 Hang squat clean  

start light and build up through the 15 minutes ending with a 1 rep max  

   

Part B - 3 rounds for time: 

  • 7 hang squat cleans (75% of your 1RM) 
  • 21 pull ups

This guy knows . . . .  

 . . . . Not! 

WOD - Monday 22nd May 2017

5 Rounds for time:  

  • 400m run
