Workout of the Day Mon Feb 14th 2022

Register for the CrossFit Games Open! First workout comes out on Thursday Feb 24th. 3 weeks to test your fitness and represent our box!

CrossFit:

A.) Back Squat /Weighted Sit Up Superset (Double Progression Week 5)
6-8 Reps Back Squat
superset with;
12-15 Weighted DB Sit-Ups
Rest 2min. Repeat For 3 Total Sets.

*DOUBLE PROGRESSION. See details below.

Just like the previous weeks, your goal is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT TIME.  So for now, Start where left off from week 3 if you did’t get all 3 sets for 8 or add 5% to your heaviest set thus far.

Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 sets for 6 reps and 95 is the weight used for each set. (for sake of the example)
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — DELOAD
Week 5 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 7 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….

B.) 12 minute running clock…
1000m Row or 800m Run or 1.3 Mile Bike  “buy in”
then;
Max Rounds of this in remaining time:
21 Wall Balls (20/14lb.)
12 Toes-To-Bar

Just small enough numbers to keep you moving pretty good. If for any reason, these are still hard numbers for you to do consistently for the remaining time, than consider knocking it down to 15 wall balls and 9 ttb. Because my goal is for everyone to get some hugh heart rate in today 🙂

Booty Crew:

How Double Progression Works
*DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL

The goal on these movements is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT TIME. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6-7 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.

Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 working sets, 6 reps performed per set, and 95 is the weight used for each set, for sake of the example.
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 5 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….

How to read “RPE”
RPE means “rate of perceived excursion.” It’s measured on a scale between 1 and 10. 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. When it says an RPE of 7, that means that you left 3 reps in the tank. And an RPE of 10 Means that you hit absolute failure. Make sure you truly hit these numbers! This makes or breaks results!
Warm-up
ALL of the sets above are “Working Sets.” A true set starts at the RPE numbers prescribed above. Warm up sets DO NOT count towards the sets listed  above.

Recommended Warm-Up Routine:
1.) Spend 5-10min. on any kind of low impact cardio
2.) Spend 5min. either foam rolling the primary muscle groups for the day or doing a few stretches that will benefit the primary lift for the day.
3.) Complete 1-3 sets of every movement above with lighter weights than your working sets. (For most of you, this all that’s needed)
