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, [...]

So Laura has made it to 25 and deemed it appropriate to make you all suffer, that's the sort of thing I admire. Hang power snatch is nice, simple, all the hip extension, try not to just yank it up with your shoulders, you're going to need them, use that bum, if you don't have a DB you can grab a bag [...]

Thursday 4th June   Warm-up 3 rounds 20x Heel drives each side (pause at bottom) 10x Tuck crunches or Sit-ups 5x Airsquat into 5x tuck jumps then Complete 2x30s OH hold on each arm with weight. Focus on setting the shoulder down to engage the lat, lock out elbow, bicep to ear, completely stacked, ribcage pulled down, butt squeezed. Metcon (Time) 6 Rounds for time: Run 200m / 1min cardio 4x alt Turkish Get-ups with DB/KB/odd object 10x Burpees over object Finisher: 45 seconds per side Couch stretch 90 seconds per side pigeon -------------- Scaled/Silvers 4 Rounds for time: Run 200m / 1min cardio 4x alt Turkish Get-ups with DB/KB/odd object 8x Burpees over object Finisher: 45 seconds per side Couch stretch 90 seconds per side pigeon Technical work today my wonderful WODders. A little run to get your in the mood and then into those Turkish getups, I highly advise everyone doing today's WOD to watch the YouTube brief to really hone in your Turkish getup technique, it's a difficult movement made harder by being an over eager dumb ass, I speak from experience here. For your weight you can use a DB or KB of an appropriate weight, I wouldn't advise going over 24/16kg unless you are very experienced with the movement. If you don't have access to a suitably heavy weight that is not an issue, you can take a lighter weight and double up a light band and hang your weight from the band, the [...]

Wednesday 3rd June   Warm-up 3 rounds: 30 fast feet 10 Scapula pushups 10 Straight leg sit ups Strength https://youtu.be/BivBAYmsJL0 Strength day, the best day, chest and triceps, we're gonna get you so jacked just in time for next summer, you know, when we're allowed back out. Plyo Push Up (9x3 - 30s rest) Drop from extension to the floor and drive away hard use an elevated position for the hands - a bench, chair, box or kitchen counter to scale the movement to your capacity. The higher the hand position the easier the reps A. 9x3 Plyo Pushups Set a clock for 9 rounds of 30 seconds. You have 30 seconds to perform your reps and rest. Each round we will change our hand position, narrow, regular and wide. Plyo Pushups - We're trying to develop that explosive speed here, so you can do this regular or on your knees, or with your hands raised up on a chair, or table. The idea is to push up so fast that your hands leave the ground, keep a tight bum whilst you're doing this, we're not trying to use our lower back to high speed worm our way up, that would be counter productive. This should be all chest and triceps, if you're not quite leaving the floor but you can feel your palms coming up then that's perfect, it's a work in progress. The different hand positions will make this much more interesting. 30 seconds to do 3 push [...]

Tuesday 2nd June Warm-up Roxeanne Play the song - every time you hear 'Roxeanne' do a burpee, every time you hear 'red light' do an airsquat! https://youtu.be/3T1c7GkzRQQ Metcon (Time) For Time: 21-15-9 Pullups Lunges per leg Burpees RX+ Goblet lunges ----------------- Scaled/Silvers *if required scale the lunges and burpees to 15-12-9 Scale Pullups to Inverse Rows or Bent Over Row Short a vicious, a spicey little WOD slip into a week of mega volume. Mega? Sorry flashback to the 90s, I'll be fine, I just need some gum. This is one of those great little WODs that would be absolutely fine if we were back in the gym, kipping pullups anyone? However we are at home probably using deeply unsafe doorway pullup bars, so strtict it is, if you are unable or unwilling to do pullups then it's the good old fashioned inverse or ring rows for you. The lunges will be per leg, not out of spite, it's just that I understand there's a good amount of OCD out there and I'd hate for any of you to be going through your day thining that you're uneven on one side. Lunges are forward and should be unbroken and fast, please be careful not to bring your knee in front of your ankle as that way injuriy lies, also drive back up off your heel to utilise that amzing posterior chain of yours. Burpees are burpees just make these as fast as you can, this is a sprint people, [...]

Monday 1st June Warm-up 3 rounds -20s per station Inchworm to spider man lunge Air squats Starjumps Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps) "AMRAP 15 200m Run / 60s of cardio 20x Goblet Squats 20x Mountain Climbers (2 legs = 1 rep) RX+ wear weighted vest or backpack Stretch: Pigeon stretch 3x30s per leg ------------------------- AMRAP 15 200m Run / 60s of cardio 15x Goblet Squats 15x Mountain Climbers (2 legs = 1 rep) Stretch: Pigeon stretch 3x30s per leg AMRAP, I've not seen that acronym in a while, well, about4 days but still, anyway, so much fun ahead, running and squatting and those wonderful mountain climbers, this is going to be great. This is a realtively short AMRAP so lets get moving pretty quick, I want that 200m run to be not quite a sprint, but not far off, you shouldn't be resting before you start the goblet squats, but neither should you have a heart rate of 110 from sand bagging the run. By the time you get to round 2 I want you looking at whatever weight you've chosen for the squats with intense hatred. If you are unable to run then you're going to do 60 seconds of cardio, this can be double unders, star jumps, fast feet, burpees, literally anything to get your heart rate up. Goblet squats should be fine for everyone, if you don't have a DB or KB then you can hug a heavy bag to your chest and go from [...]
