11/15/2013 – WOD

Strength
Front Squat 1×5 (70%), 1×3 (80%), 1×2 (85%), 3×1 (95-100%), 2×3 (85%)
—Work up to a new 1RM, then back off to 85% & do 2×3.

Conditioning
“Make-Up WOD/Open Gym/Skill Practice”
—You may make up a WOD that you missed, work on oly lifts/skills you want to improve, or do extra assistance work. I will be available for help or guidance.

Announcement: Rage will now be selling Zukay Live Raw Fermented Veggie/Fruit Beverages. I have been supplementing these drinks with my training the past month & I highly recommend the Beet or Beet Ginger as a pre-workout. There’s even a lot of research around the humble beet’s large nitrate content, which have been found to help your body utilize oxygen better (and therefore enable you to workout better). They are $3/bottle. Click here for more info: http://zukay.com/

Reminder: Sign-up sheets are on my desk for the Clean n Jerk Clinic (tomorrow) & Yoga (11/22). They are both free to all Rage members! Visitors are also welcome!

11/14/2013 – WOD

Strength
Wide Grip Pull-ups (weighted) 4×6
—Grip should mimic snatch grip width

Conditioning
5 Rounds For Time
2 Snatch Grip DL @ 120% of 1RM Snatch

40 Double Unders
—Rest 2-3 minutes
6×15 sec sprints on Air Dyne
—Rest at least 60 sec between each effort

WOD Notes: You must reset for all snatch grip deadlifts (no touch n go). The 120% is based off an athlete who is somewhat near their max snatch weight. You may scale pull-up complex 2 ways (if you can’t do unassisted strict pull-ups) by doing either 12 C2B or 12 Chin2Bar. Scaling for Double Unders are 100 singles or 20 double unders.

WOD Notes: Clean weight for the WOD should be 75-80% of 1RM Power Clean. Wall Ball weight should be a little heavier than you’re used to, so you may throw to a lower target if you jump from a 10lb to a 14lb ball.

Reminder: Sign-up sheets are on my desk for the Clean n Jerk Clinic (11/16) & Yoga (11/22). They are both free to all Rage members!

11/8/2013 – WOD

Strength
Front Squat – 6×2

3 Rounds For Total Reps (1 min per movement)
Rope Climbs 15′
HSPU

—Rest 1 minute after Air Dyne each round

WOD Notes: There is no rest between movements, so each round is a 4 min running clock (transition fast to each movement especially air dyne). Score is total reps for each movement, so do your best to add up reps for each movement. Scaling for rope climbs are up/downs. Scaling for HSPU are push presses with 65% of 1RM. You may partner up for tire flips as well. Air Dyne should be fast each round, since you have 1 minute of rest following it.

Lunge weight should be moderately heavy where 10th lunge gets heavy, but you should be able to do all 4 rounds unbroken. Scaling for double unders are 100 singles or 20 double unders each round.
