Friday, March 18

Prep Day:

1) Row 100cals with this pacing:
1st 33 - Moderate (1300/900)
2nd 33 - Easy (1250/850)
3rd 34 - Harder (1450/1000)

2) 5 sets of 5 DL @ 225/155
Set 1, 3, 5 - Quick Singles (drop from the top)
Sets 2, 4 - TnG

3) 4 Rounds:
3 HSPU
4 Burpees
5 KBS (53/44)
6 Box Jumps
8 Wall-Balls
10 Pause (at bottom) Jumping air squats
30 DU
rest 2 minutes

Thoughts:
Initially I think people will fall into two groups.

Group 1 - No struggle with DL, WB or Row -- probably HSPU struggle. This group needs to focus on bigger sets for DL / WB and a solid row pace. Get a good tie-breaker, take a ~30s transition off the rower and focus on small, controlled sets on the HSPU (3s or 5s) with limited rest. 

Group 2 - Big struggle with DL or WB & Row -- Less HSPU struggle, but will be time pressured there.  DL need to be broken up intelligently, with the last 20-25 reps done as very fast singles. Taking away the eccentric will help a ton. WB should be done as 15 then (4) 10s and row pace should be kept lower to start, then picked up at 20-25 cals. HSPU do what you can, minimal rest though.  

Ultimately this workout isn't one that will have a significant pacing or count down structure - that just isn't the way chippers work. You need to have small goals, and keep yourself moving - make it from one goal to the next as seamlessly as possible - and just get tough on WB and the Rower, less brain work and more physical work to get to the HSPU.

The Ides of March

2) 10RFT:
Wall-Climb
Rope Climb

Extra:
3) 30-20-10:
Burpees
DB Push Press (35/25s/hand)
Second HS Hold (i.e. 30/20/10s)

4) Immediately after part 3 begin AmRap5: 
Sets of 5/3 Muscle-Ups (i.e. pop up, hit 5/3 Muscle-ups, come down, that is 1 round)

Great job on 16.3 today everyone, very pleased with the effort given out today - a few areas of improvement for some, but overall excited by the efforts given! 

Tomorrow 2pm arrival, 2:30p Start time

Saturday, March 12

Warm-Up:
Important that you come in today with your warm-up goal in mind to get a mini-workout in before you begin. It should look like this:

0-15mins - Movement prep, voodoo bands, banded work aimed at Hamstrings, low back, rear shoulders and forearms. 

15-30 minutes: EMOM12:
a) Row 16/13 Cals
b) Banded Goodmornings + March (~35-40seconds worth)
c) 8 DB Snatches (55/35)

30-40 minutes: 1 Full Round @ pace, rest 6 minutes (do Air Squats + Shoulder Opening during rest)

This means start warm-up ~30-40 minutes out of your heat time:

Heat 1 @11:15am: Omar, Brode, Dru
Heat 2 @11:30am: ARaph, Jordan, ACon
Heat 3 @ 11:55am: Jeff, John, RT
Heat 4 @ 12:10pm: Sunshine, Jen K., Jesse
Heat 5 @ 12:30pm: Maria, K$, Jade
Side Goals for First Bar MU - Shelby, EVE? (not sure let me know).

Let me know if you're coming and want/need to be put on this? Hard to keep track these days with so many people out of town, doing it on odd days, not doing it, etc.

Prep Day / Thoughts:

This is the first Open Workout where priming your engine will be huge. I will have a 12-14 minute EMOM to do before you begin the workout that you should get and have your heart rate up before you start. This will help fend off your heart rate jumping on you too quickly. For most of you this will come down to how well you can do at Bar MU, if you know for a fact you can just go UB the whole time, then it requires a little delicacy early on based on your engine. Use time standards to help you:
10+ Rounds: Every 40s do 1 round
9+ Rounds: Every 45s do 1 round
8+ Rounds: Every 50s Do 1 round
etc. etc.

I honestly don't feel that a prep day is hugely important for tomorrow unless your grip or back are beat up, but if you do choose to do one instead of class tomorrow:

Prep Day:
1) E2MOM12:
25/20 Cals Rower -- I will move 2-3 rowers over to the extra area in the evening, do not do this in class area, and do not bring extra rowers over - use only the ones I bring back there.

2) 4 sets of 2:
Power Snatch @ 135/85 - Touch & Go

3) 4 Rounds:
4 Power Snatches @ 75/55
5 Powerful Kips
6 Box Jumps
7 Burpees
8 KBS Overhead (70/53)
10 Wall-Ball
12 Box Jump
30 DU
*Rest 90s between efforts*

4) Test one round at :40, :45, :50 -- If you do not have great bar MU, test out 1-2 rounds and see what you think you can sustain.

Friday March 4th

Prep Day tomorrow -- Note - This MUST be finished no later than 6:15pm and you must clear the extra area by then.

1) Warm-Up:
EMOM12:
a) 8 Goblet Squats Slow (with pause if needed)
b) 12 KBS Overhead (53/35)

2) Spend some time loosening up front rack position then:
EMOM5:
3 Speed FS @ 40-50% 185/115

3) 4 Rounds:
1 Squat Clean (185/115)
2 Bar Facing Burpees
3 Strict HSPU
5 T2B
6 Box Jumps
8 Wall-Ball
10 Full ROM Mountain Climbers (feet beyond hands)
40 DU
Rest 2 minutes between efforts


My recommended strategy for this will likely be (for most):
5s on T2B from the start, minimal break and quick singles on the Cleans (UB on DU should hopefully be an afterthought for most of you) -- The one exception could be the first round of T2B doing 10/10/5 if you are very confident in your T2B. This workout is less about speed than DB made it look, and more about staying diligent on the barbell / managing T2B for most of you.
