It's like we've even taken over your need to think, just count to 100, do it again, do it again... For our first movement we have the Russian twist, a common mistake with this movement is to try to move the object from the floor on one side of you to the floor on the other side of you, this means we're rotating more from the upper back and losing tension every time. What I would like you to do is hold your object to your chest and keepo it there for the entirety of the work. Rotate through the waist and really use those obliques. Box jumps, stair jumps, jump over a thing, the main thing we're looking for here is a powerful hip extension that sends you a [...]

The alternating DB snatch, we want full lockout overhead and don't forget to use that bum of yours to get that sucker up, if you're just using your traps to yank it up then you are going to be sore tomorrow, 1 head of the DB to touch the floor between reps and if you're changing hands mid air then please bring the DB past your face first to minimize the risk of killing yourself if it slips.

Oh bountiful joy. we don't really have to go through the odd minutes they're pretty self explanatory, however even minutes offer some interesting choices. If you have an appropriate weight KB then you'll be performing American swings, all the way overhead, if you have a heavy KB then you will perform Russian swings, just up to eye height. If you don't have a KB then you can use a DB, hold it by one head and perform Russian swings, if you have no weight you can fill a backpack with weight and perform Russian swings, these will [...]

If you don't have somewhere to do pullups then it's the inverse row for you, you should have a cosy little place all picked out by now. Push ups can be gymnastic, normal or on your knees but stay with the same movement for every round, remember consistency. Situps shouldn't be a problem for any of you, just pop something in the small of your back, a folded towel works well, so that you can maintain the arch. The bad [...]

Wednesday 13th May Technique Classes this week are on Gymnastics on Thurs & Sat   Warm-up 2 Rounds 15x Plate* Ground to Over Head 5x Burpees 30x Banded* Good Mornings 5x Burpees *bag hugged to chest will work just fine for good mornings and can also be used for GTOH doesn't need to be heavy Metcon (Time) 21-15-9 Box Jumps / Jump overs DB Snatch / Heavy Banded Sumo Dimmel Deadlift RX+ weight vest or loaded back pack ------------- Scaled/Silvers: *step-ups instead of jumps 21-15-9 everyone's favourite rep scheme, sprint, sprint, sprint. This is a fast little WOD, you should be out of breath early and stay that way. Box jumps if you have a box and jump overs if you do not. Your jump over is literally creating a barrier and jumping over it, a hurdle, a partner, a bin bag filled with helium balloons, turn around and jump back, the higher and wider the better. DB snatch will be alternating hands, all the way to the ground every time, you can do this with a KB if you have one, but half the reps in one hand then half in the other, don't change hands mid air, it's not safe or clever. You can also use an odd object in the house/yard - just make sure it is safe to grip and not breakable. You other option the banded sumo dimmel deadlift. Be sure to check out the YouTube brief to see how to do these properly. [...]

A little owie? Again just a couple of short friendly runs to get the blood flowing and ease them back into working order. 800m run, this is not a sprint, its a quick run because when you get back in you want to get straight into that first set of tuck crunches. In the scale of this workout the tuck crunches are your rest station, their pace is limited and they're not that demanding, so enjoy them. The HSPU are your high value movement, lots of strength and skill required, these can be strict or kipping, depending on your space and fear of falling, you should be aiming for unbroken for the first 3-4 rounds at least, so scale appropriately. If you start dropping down to anything less than 5 reps move down to the next scaling option, we want to keep that intenstity [...]
