STRENGTH

Bench Press
5×5 Across

Notes
This is the final exposure of Bench Press in this mini-cycle through the Open. This week should be your heaviest yet and like the prior weeks, performed as sets across. Each set should be performed leaving 1-2 reps in reserve. Use a spotter if you’re not 100% confident you’ll make 5 reps.

METCON

AMRAP 14:00
7 Push-Ups or Ring Push-Ups
14 Goblet Reverse Lunges

At the 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12′ Marks stop and Bike 7 cals / Row 10 cals. When you get off the machine, pick up where you left off on the couplet.

Notes
The row/bike should take you:~35-45. Adjust your calorie count to hit that at a hard effort.
If you’ve got really strong push-ups, consider scaling the volume up to 14 reps

21.1 is 17.1

As you all know by now, 21.2 is 17.1. We actually performed this sweetheart of a workout on valentines day last month so many of you may of had a crack at this one recently. It’s slightly different this year so make sure you’re familiar with the workout description and movement standards ahead of time. Because we’ll be running two 20 minute heats in class tomorrow in addition to reviewing standards and getting set up, time will be a little tight. We recommend doing some movement prep at home followed by a brisk jog to the gym. Below are two videos that will offer some ideas for how to prep your body for the workout. Of course, we will work in some warm-up into class, but the more primed your body is to compete the better!

STRENGTH

Back Squat
3×5 Across

Notes
Perform three work sets of 5 reps at the same weight. Try to add 5-10lbs from last week if you were here. If you’re doing the Open, go a little lighter today to prevent too much soreness coming into the weekend. 21.1 spared our legs… who knows what 21.2 will bring.

ASSISTANCE

3-4+ Rounds for Quality/Load of:
1:00 Bike/Row
6-10 Pendlay Rows
1:00 Plank
10-14 RDLs

Notes
Move at a steady aerobic pace on this circuit. You can use the same weight for the pendlay rows and RDLs or change the weights as needed. The Pendlay Rows and RDLs should feel challenging but submax loads.

12 Strict HSPU or Shoulder Presses
24 Tuck-Ups

Notes
Move at an aerobic pace during this workout.
HSPU: You should not be able to perform the HSPUs in one set, choose a challenging rep range or deficit that will force you into at least 2 sets.

METCON 2

AMRAP 4:00
8 Alt DB Power Snatches

Scale for the Double Unders is 16 alternating foot steps or 32 single unders

Early Bird Gets the Worm

Week 1’s scores are in for our Morning versus Evening competition and in week 1 early bird got the worm! We took everyone’s placement within the gym and created an average based on the people who completed the workout to see what the team average ranking was. Higher placements on the workout led to lower points, so the team with less average points wins. In week 1 the Morning team got up early, made some coffee, read the paper and then dominated some wall walks and double unders to take 21.1

Morning Team: Average Score 17.45

Evening Team: Average Score 19.36

To see the full breakdown, click here!

Lets see if the evening team can get enough sleep to turn the tables around and show those AM nerds the power of sleeping in.

STRENGTH

7×3 Strict Tempo Pull-Ups
1↑-3-2↓-2 tempo

Notes:
Today’s pull-up work is all about positional strength. Focus on what’s happening at the top of your pull-up, adding assistance such that you can hold a mature position at the top for three seconds each rep. The tempo is 1 second up, 3 second hold at the top, 2 second descent and a 2 second hold at the bottom. If band assistance isn’t enough, perform self assisted pull-ups or ring rows with a similar tempo. Even if you have strict pull-ups, you may not be able to achieve the tempos assigned, so don’t have an ego about grabbing a band to work that top range strength.

METCON

EMOM 15:00
3 Power Cleans
6 Burpees

Notes
For today’s workout choose a weight that will allow you to perform three clean singles in quick succession before heading into the burpees. If you want to practice some barbell cycling today go for it, or you can drop each rep from the top. Regardless, choose a weight that will challenge you but allow you to keep perfect form. Aim for finishing each round by no more than the :40 second mark. If you’re not able to keep up, consider dropping the burpee volume. If you’re going super saiyan, consider adding a rep or two. This workout is intended to keep you at a steady working pace, not redlining for the 15:00.

STRENGTH

Bench Press
3×8-10 Across

Notes:
Perform three work sets, ideally at the same weight. Try to make the first set challenging to hit 10 but keep a rep or two in reserve on each set. Next week we’ll do a 5×5 where you can bump the weight up again.

ASSISTANCE

4-5 Sets of:
10-15 Anti Rotational Landmine Reps
10e FFE SA KB Front Rack Reverse Lunges
10 Bent Over Pronated DB Kick-Backs

Notes:
Work up to challenging but perfect sets on all three movements.
For the Landmine, one rep is going to end range on both sides and finishing back in the start position.
