Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

A1: Chin-Ups
3-3-3-3-3

A2: L-Sit
:15-:20x 5

Notes
In 5 total sets, alternate between a heavy triple chin-up and the L-Sit.
For the chin-ups, build up such that the last 2 sets are very challenging. This could be achieved by adding weight, or reducing band tension. We’ll also explore a partner assisted chin-up.
For L-Sits, accumulate 15-20 seconds per set either using a tucked, single leg or double leg L-Sit hold.

METCON

EMOM 10:00:
A: 12 Box Jumps + AMRAP Push-Ups
B: 16 Kettlebell Swings + AMRAP Push-Ups

Notes
In this EMOM, you’ll alternate between the box jump and kettlebell buy-ins each minute and then use the remaining time left to perform push-ups. For the push-ups, you don’t need to run into a wall, instead choose a challenging rep range and see if you can hold on or progress it all 10 rounds. Modify such that you could get 5-10+ reps each round. If push-ups are a strength of yours, consider scaling up to ring push-ups.

Coach Whitney getting some vitamin D and aerobic work in on Degraw Street.

L-Sits

We’ve got L-Sits on tap for half of today’s strength portion. We’ve been seeing a lot of gymnastics static holds this cycle. These help develop tremendous strength and stability in end ranges. Each set today is short,only  :15-:20 which means you’re aiming for FULL BODY tension and a fight for your most mature position possible. :20 seconds should feel like a lifetime if you’re doing it right!

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Pause Back Squat
3-3-3-3-3

Notes
Work up to a submax heavy triple on the back squat. Pause in the hole for a 2 count and prioritize position and tension over how much weight is on the bar.

ASSISTANCE

4 Progressive sets of:
1:00e SA Farmer’s Carry
Floater Movement

Floater options:
A: 16 total Weighted Step-Ups
B: 12-16 DB Bench Press

Alternate between the farmer’s carry and one of the floater movements you choose. Tomorrow we have chin-ups and push-ups programmed.

Diapers & Dumbbells is growing! This is our first 6 person class since we’ve relaunched!

The Paused Squat, why and how:

Workout of the Day

AMRAP 15:00
15 push jerks (95/65/45)
12 chest-to-bar pull-ups
9 sumo deadlift high pulls (95/65/45)

Notes
Aim for 4-6 rounds.
This is a grip and shoulder fatiguing workout, pace yourself accordingly and take appropriate breaks on the pull-ups as your grip tires.
Push jerks should be unbroken for the majority of the workout.
Chest-to-bar pull-ups should take no more than 3 sets.
The sumo deadlift high pulls should be completed in 1-2 sets.

AMRAP 3:00

7 Box Jump Overs

3:00 Bike @ recovery pace

Notes
Today’s workout is a 30 minute interval alternating between a higher intensity effort on the triplet followed by a low intensity interval on the bike.

The BMU/Pull-up portion should be something that you could walk over to the bar, bang out the reps unbroken or as a couple quick singles and then move on. 3:00 isn’t long enough to do a version that will force you to stare at the bar.
BMU: 3 BMU / 1 BMU / 3 CTB or kipping / 3 banded, strict or self assisted
DB DL: 50s/35s/20s Only go as low as you can maintain a neutral back with.
