Workout of the Day Monday May 17th 2021

Change is Here my friends! Click the image to read the latest post!

CrossFit:

A.) Back Rack Lunge (Double Progression Week 3)
4-6 Reps on EACH leg
superset with;
10-12 Heavy DB Russian Twists
Rest 2min. Repeat For 3 Total Sets.

*DOUBLE PROGRESSION. See details below.

The goal is to get ALL 3 sets (with the heaviest weight possible) for 6 reps on each leg. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT WEEK. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 4-5 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 6 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.

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

B.) For Time: 18 min Cap
50 Power Cleans 115/75lbs.
Immediately into;
50 Back Squats 115/75lbs.

The catch…

At the top of EVERY minute, complete 4 burpees. Start with burpees.

To be clear, you complete 4 burpees. Then get as many power cleans as possible. As soon as the clock hits 1min, you complete another 4 burpees. Then chip away again. At minute 2, complete 4 more burpees… And so on…

For the back squats, you have to clean it off the floor and put it on you back.

ADV is 135/95lbs.

Booty Crew:

A.) 4 Rounds:

2 min Hip Thrusts

2 min Alternating Weighted Pistols

1 min Rest

then,
400m Single Arm Farmer Carry with (1) 70/53lb KB
1 Mile Bike (Ladies .7 miles)
400m Single Arm Farmer Carry with (1) 70/53lb KB

*I Suggest 35lbs for men and 20lbs for ladies here so that it is light enough to get through a bunch of rounds. However, if you’re strong, you can bump this up to even 50s for men and 30s for women. Just depends on your strength level. Ideally everyone will make it 10-12min.

Full Body Aesthetics Day 29th Cycle 9:

6-8 Bulgarian Split Squats on EACH leg
Rest 2min. Repeat For 3 Total Sets.
*See Double Progression model for this movement below
**Increase your 3 working sets by 5% if you got 8 reps on all 3 sets before the deload week.

12-15 Banded Incline Fly’s.

*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 — 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….

NO WARM UP SETS are included in any of these sets and reps, so be sure to do 1-2 sets in each section to get warm, but do not count them as “working sets.”
