Month: June 2017

Olympic Lifting total is Sunday. 20min to find 1RM snatch, 20min to find 1RM clean and jerk. This is going to be our workout of the day for all classes.

For today’s weightlifting, keep it technique oriented. Focus on good foot work, speed under the bar, overhead mobility and light weight.

Muscle snatch
1-1-1-1-1

Power snatch
1-1-1-1-1

Snatch
1-1-1-1-1

Clean and jerk
1-1-1-1-1

Note: Again, keep it light and snappy, it’s your time to work on technique, figure out what works, what doesn’t and what needs improvement. There’s no denial that proper technique is key but sometimes, all it takes is a bit of strength too. We’ll have our camera out tomorrow and we’ll try to video everybody, look at your lifts and make you a better lifter. Sunday will close this 6 week lifting cycle, here’s what to expect for the next 8 weeks. That’s going to bring us to mid August. Then we’ll do one more cycle that will lead us to the Pyro Meet 2.0 in late September.

8 weeks cycle:

Day 1:

Snatch
Clean and jerk
Clean pulls
Front squat
Back squat

Day 2:
Snatch
Clean and jerk
Snatch pulls
Front squat
Back squat

Day 3:
Snatch
Clean and jerk
Overhead squat
Deadlifts

We’ll be doing the snatch and the clean and jerk everyday into different formats (power, high hang, hang, full, 5,3,2,1 and such), front and back squat twice a week, overhead squat and deadlift once each, combine that with snatch pulls and clean pulls, we’ll become indestructible machines of wods

“DIANE” who?

For time:

21 deadlifts 225/155
21 handstand push ups
15 deadlifts 275/205
15 strict handstand push ups
9 deadlifts 315/235
9 deficit handstand push ups 4/2

Mandatory cool down
Row 500m

Mandatory maintenance/stretch
10min

Note: Preplan all your weights for the deadlifts and have the plates beside your bar ready to change between sets. This workout has the same stimulus as the original Diane, except the obvious added weight on the deadlifts and the extra challenge on the handstand push up. Aim for around +\- 10min of work

For time:

30 clean and jerks 225/155

or

Double “Grace”

For time:

60 clean and jerks 135/95

Note: If you’re doing heavy Grace, aim for a weight at about 70% of your 1RM. For example, if your 1RM is 245, don’t attempt the workout at 225. For double grace, if you have a sub 5min Grace rx, you can do double grace as prescribed.

Please keep in mind to maintain the intent of the workouts, there’s a reason why certain weights are choosen, why certain movements are the way they are and when they are. It’s all about the big pictures. Somedays we have Rx+ versions because it makes sense with rest of the week, somedays we don’t to ease of of the loading, to target different energy systems and such.
