Tuesday 16th June   Warm-up ALT TABATA Heel Drives Lateral Lunges Metcon (Time) For Time: 10-20-30-40-50-40-30-20-10 Double Unders Lunges alt legs 5-10-15-20-25-20-15-10-5 Tuck Crunches ------------- Scaled/Silvers: 10-20-30-40-30-20-10 Double Unders Lunges alt legs 5-10-15-20-15-10-5 Tuck Crunches/Sit-ups A little bird told me that y'all thought we were going to easy on your legs, is that true? I hope not, but just in case I present today's WOD. Now there's been nothing but time during lockdown, those of you without double unders have probably taken to heart my advice about practicing for 10 minutes a day until you have them, so I don't even know why we have the scaling options. For the sake of completeness I'll pop them in, if you have a rope and the doubles are not happening then you'll double the number in singles, if you're indoors with a low ceiling or long suffering neighbours you can do the same number in penguin taps. The lunges will be forward, you will alternate legs, this will be fine. The tuck crunches will be done at half the volume of everything else, so it will be 10x double unders, 10x lunges and 5x tuck crunches, working your way up and back down. Viv said 250 tuck crunches was too many, I disagree, she said she'd burn my house down while I slept. Sooooooo........ = This should be a mid length WOD but I'm conviced someone out there can do it in 12 minutes, get on it. Times/Reps Adv: sub 13min [...]

Monday 15th June   Warm-up 3 rounds: 30 High knees 10 Banded/weighted good mornings 10 Pronated snow angels Metcon (Time) 3 RFT 400m run 21x KBS 12x Strict Pullups/Bent Over Row RX+ 5 rounds - time cap 16min. Only go on to RX+ if you get 3 rounds done under 10min This WOD seems familiar, have we met before? You look like a nastier version of a girl I once met. 400m run should be that, a run, none of this gentle trotting nonsense, get out there and get some effort in, if you can't run you're going to perform alternating 30 seconds sets of fast feet, high knees and high heels, let's say for 2 minutes. KBS are American if you have a KB, if you are using a heavy bag for the swings then you'll do Russian, if you only have a heavy KB then you will also do Russian. Strict pullups become inverse rows or bent over rows, if the inverse rows are getting a little too easy then bring your feet a little higher, that should spice things up a little. RX+ is 5 rounds, why? Just do 3 rounds really fast and wonder how bad those extra 2 rounds would have been. This may be the shortest brief I've ever written, so now a song: Every now and then I get a little bit lonely And you're never coming 'round (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired Of listening [...]

Saturday 13th June   Warm-up 3 Rounds: 20x Jumping Jacks 20x Shoulder Taps 20x Air Squats Metcon (Time) For Time : 50x Burpees 50x Double Unders/100x Singles 50x Back Stepping Lunges 50x Double Unders/100x Singles 50x Burpees 50x Double Unders/100x Singles 50x Back Stepping Lunges 50x Double Unders/100x Singles -------------------------- Scaled/Silvers: For Time : 30x Burpees 30x Double Unders/60x Singles 30x Back Stepping Lunges 30x Double Unders/60x Singles 30x Burpees 30x Double Unders/60x Singles 30x Back Stepping Lunges 30x Double Unders/60x Singles Yay it's Saturday! Or it could be a Monday haha. Today's WOD is a very gassy and a fast workout. Warm up, then take a min to grab a drink of water and get into the WOD straight away. DU should be unbroken , burpees pick a pace that you know you wont stop and the back stepping lunges you can pick up the pace on these as this will be were you get your breath back. Aim for sub 15min!

Friday 12th June   Warm-up 3 rounds 30x Mountain Climbers (15/leg) 15x Bent Leg Calf Raises 10x Tuck Jumps 5x Perfect Squats (hold hands over head) Handstand Push Up Progression - 1 round 10x Z-press 5x Hand Release Push Ups 5x Pike Push Ups 5x Pike Push Ups Raised Feet 5x Strict/Kipping HSPU Metcon (Time) Buy In: 400m run For time: 21-15-9 HSPU Weighted Squats DB or backpack Buy Out: 400m run *RX+ 4" deficit strict HSPU Finisher: Gymnastic plank hold weighted 3x60sec - 60sec between ----------------- Scaled/Silvers: scale HSPU to Pike Push-ups, Regular Push-ups or from knees It feels like forever since we last ran, I missed it and I'm sure you did too. We have a 21-15-9 with the added joys of a 400m run. This is a sprint, make no mistake about it, I want you going as fast as you can on the runs, they are sprints, if 400m is too far for you to sprint then make it 200m, if you're are in a place where running is not possible you can run on the spot for 2min or do 20 burpees over an object. The burpee option should take less time than the run but hopefully get you even more out of breath. HSPU can be strict or kipping unless you're going for the RX+ option, 4" is the maximum deficit to go from, however you can hit RX+ for any kind of deficit strict HSPU, I know I spoil you. Pike push [...]

Thursday 11th June   Warm-up 2 rounds: 5x Straight arm burpees 5x Press ups 10x Reverse lunges 5/5 Single leg V-ups Metcon (Time) 10 RFT 3x 2-pump Navy seals, 4sec run on spot 10x Squat Lunge combo (squat, jump lunge/leg) 15x Burpees 20x Scissor Kicks (10/leg) RX+ 5x 2-pump Navy seals, 4sec run 10x SQuat Lunge combo 20x Burpees 20x Scissory Kicks (10/leg) ----------- Scaled/Silvers: 6-8 RFT 3x 2-pump Navy seals, 4sec run on spot 5x Squat Lunge combo (squat, lunge/leg) 10x Burpees/Down Ups 20x Scissor Kicks (10/leg) Looks like today is a long, long work out, screw we've broken you in gently through the week so now it's all or nothing, go hard or go...well not home, you're already home but, well you get it. The Navy Seal is a killer of a movement, if you can't do a full push-up then you're going to have to have you hands raised, on a chair or a table, so that you can perform the movement and still get your leg up. If you are doing this RX+ things are going to get deeply, deeply unpleasant. Your squat lunge combo is not too bad, you can literally come up from your last lunge into a squat stance and get going again, if you're not comfortable with the jumping lunges you can sub them out with regular lunges, it'll still suck I promise. Burpees again! 150-200 of them no less, let's see how much fun they are after the Navy Seals. [...]

Wednesday 10th June   Warm-up Bring Sally Up warmup https://youtu.be/6A2V9Bu80J4 2 rounds 20x Heel drives 5x Arabesques per leg Pistol Progressions Metcon (3 Rounds for reps) 3x AMRAP 3 3x SL Weighted Deadlift/leg 6x alt Pistols 9x Sit-ups Rest 2 minutes *Scale/Silvers sub in 6x Air Squats for Pistols if required A 3 minute AMRAP? What the hell, this hardly even seems like work, well you hardly even need a brief for this! Oh, wait, sorry, 3 of them, with a 2 minute rest in between, that seem significantly worse. Ooh you've got options here, do you go full HAM (I'm channeling my inner Ryan here) on your first one, try to get as much air back into your body as you can and then do the same? Do you go steady and just keep moving? Do yo find a safe middle ground? Obviously the answer is go full HAM, it's a sprint, it's 3 minutes, you rest and do it again. Grown up trousers, every 3 minutes should be awful, the 2 minutes rest should feel like 20 seconds. There is no reason not to be an utter ruin after this, no reason at all. 3 single leg deadlifts per leg, use whatever weight you think you can manage, doing this under control with no weights is hard enough, keep the torso and rear leg in a line, don't reach for the ground, keep the upper back as tight as you can a feel the tension build in [...]

Tuesday 9th June   Warm-up 3 rounds: 20sec Heel drives 20sec OH/side DB hold 20sec Russian DB/Backpack Swings 20sec Penguin taps Metcon (Time) For Time: 100-80-60-40-20x Double Unders/Star Jumps or 200-160-120-80-40 Single Unders 50-40-30-20-10x DB Hang Snatch alt arms Accessory: 100x bent over reverse flies - 1/2 range to top or 100x banded pullaparts -------------- Scaled/Silvers: "Scaled/Silvers For Time: 80-60-40-20x Double Unders/Star Jumps or 200-160-120-80-40 Single Unders 40-30-20-10x DB Hang Snatch alt arms Accessory: 100x bent over reverse flies - 1/2 range to top or 100x banded pullaparts I feel like we just don't skip enough, you guys are probably all sat at home thinking the same, so here's some skipping with a little Snatch to break it up and let your calves have a rest. If you don't have double unders you're going to either do double the number in single unders or the same number in star jumps. For the Snatch alternate hands every rep, remember if you are lucky enough to have a DB don't change hands over your head, bring the weight in front of your face before you let go, just to avoid the whole dying thing. No DB no problem, if you have a KB you can use that, although you'll have to change hands in the hang position because that KB is a very awkward object, if you have a light band you can mimic the movement, stand on it with your left foot and perform 10 reps then change foot and [...]

Monday 8th June   Warm-up 2 rounds 30s High Knees 30s alt Lunges 30s Butt Kicks 10x Russain baby makers Strength https://youtu.be/IbDgRpTAWqc OK you lovely people today we have all the strength, we will make you regret even having legs. there will be strength gains in your hamstrings, gluts, quads, hip flexors, abs, obliques and character. You are everso, everso lucky aren't you. Good Mornings (5x10 ) *scaled/silvers 4x10 A. Good Mornings, these can be done with whatever you have to hand, a barbell will be across your shoulders, a KB can be hung around the neck using a golden chain, sandbags and rucksacks will be clutched to the chest and held close. If you are lacking weight to make this feel significant then you can simply increase your time under tension, anything from a 3-5 seconds count down and up will make this soooooo much more fun. The angle at the hip should be no more than 45 degrees, going any lower increases you risk of injury to the lower back without giving you any significant extra gains, not worth it. Bulgarian Split Squats (3x12) Scaled/Silvers 3x10/leg B. Bulgarian Split squats are the literal devil, we know this, we hate them. For these you will be adding whatever weight you can handle, it won't be a lot, it can be as little as bodyweight with a slow concentric/eccentric and it will suck. Make sure your knee of the the supporting leg does not come further forward than your ankle, [...]
