Workout of the Day Thurs Feb 10th 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:

One of my all time favorite pieces of all time for upper body!
A.) 2 Rounds:
Min. 1) Max Bench Press 185/95
Min. 2) 200m Run
Min. 3) Max Pull-Ups
Min. 4) Max Bench Press 185/95
Min. 5) 60 Double Unders
Min. 6) Max Pull-Ups
Min. 7) Max Bench Press 185/95
Min. 8) 200m Run
Min. 9) Max Pull-Ups
Min. 10) Max Bench Press 185/95
Min. 11) 60 Double Unders
Min. 12) Max Pull-Ups

*Round 2 is Chin-Ups (underhand)

*Seems more complicated than it actually is. It’s just switching out running and double unders, but I have to write it out so it makes sense.

*I want the bench to be HARD so keep that in mind if you modify. Looking for only about 5 reps each time. Anything more than that and you’re gunna wind up doing WAY too many in total.

*ADV is strict pull-ups

B.) 10min. to get as far as possible…
10-20-30-40-50
Russian KB Swings 70/53
Push-Ups

Let me tell you how HUMBLED you are about to get by some push-ups 😉

Also, don’t worry about finishing, this is just a little complimentary piece because we have some time left. Anything you get done here is just a bonus 🙂

Sweat:

6 Days of Christmas. Second Edition to Monday 🙂

Goes like this…
200m row…
then;
4 DB Deadlifts + 200m Row
then;
6 DB Power Cleans  + 4 DB Deadlifts + 200m Row
…all the way to 12 Cal Assault Bike and back down to the row. Like the way you sing “12 days of Xmas.”

Weights are:
45lb DBs for Men
30lb DBs for Women

15min. to finish…
200m Row
4 Burpee DB Deadlifts
6 DB Power Cleans
8 Alt. DB Snatches
10 Toes-To-Bar
12 Cal Bike

*If you happen to finish before the 15min. mark, you can stop early, but I do not think anyone will.
Rest 5min. and do it in reverse 🙂
15min. to complete it backwards…
14 Air Squats
12 Cal Bike
10 Toes-To-Bar
8 Alt. DB Snatches

Your goal is 3 sets of 8 reps on each leg with the heaviest weight possible.

Rest 2-3min. between sets.

You will be following the “double progression” template for this lift. Read more on this at the bottom of the page.

Chest:
8-10 Flat DB Bench Press
Rest 2min. Repeat For 3 Total Sets.

Shoulders:
5min. of Single DB Upright Rows
– Pick a weight that you can consistently do for 5-7 reps per arm NONSTOP! You can not put it down for the entire 5min!
– Personally, I do this with 35lbs and it’s tough!

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)

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!
