Extra Work Week of 6/8/15
Here are a few ways to go about utilizing this extra work:
1. The box is always open 30min prior to each class – come in then and get to it
2. We stay after most classes (unless the coach has to be somewhere) for 15-20min, you may use that time to complete what you are able
3. We have “Open Gym” hours on M/W/F from 6-7pm. Use it!
4. Do it at home
Caveat – this is NOT meant to replace any of your regularly scheduled programming/workouts. Hence the title “Extra Work.” It is meant to supplement your already dedicated training in order to more personally attack your weaknesses. If I get the sense that people are doing this, I will stop writing the extra work.
General Note – You will notice that some of the categories below (endurance and gymnastics for instance) have multiple days. That is by design. The ‘workouts’ themselves shouldn’t take too long, so do them all to maximize your results.
Endurance Focus – Week 6 of 12
Day 1 –
6 x 400m w/ 90s rest
Day 2 –
4 x 1000m w/ 2-3min rest
Day 3 –
10M Time Trial
Strength Focus – NOTHING EXTRA THIS WEEK! We will be squatting two different days this week – Tuesday and Friday. Show up and love it!
Gymnastics: Do the (a) and (b) in circuit fashion
Day 1: EMOM f/ 20min
a) On the odd minutes – 2 Strict + 4 Kipping (must keep same set-up for both)
b) On the even minutes – 6 Pistols (total)
Day 2:
a) 3 x ME Strict + ME C2B + ME Kipping (without coming off the bar), rest as needed
b) Glute-Ham Raises – 3 x 10, rest as needed
Day 3:
a) String Ring Dips – 3 x 12, rest 90s
b) Strict Chin-Ups – 3 x 12, rest 90s
Trunk Strengthening: This is a HUGE necessity for nearly everyone. Ever feel like your falling forward or caving in when you front squat heavy or catch a heavy clean? Yea, thought so. Then do this…
Day 1:
GHD Back Extensions w/ 5s Hold at Top – 5 x 12 reps, rest 90s (go heavier than last week)
Day 2:
Pendlay Rows: 5 x 8 reps, rest 60s (heavier than last week)
Watch the demo video and notice that there is NO momentum generated from the torso. Back position is locked in and static (https://vimeo.com/49707412)
Day 3:
Plank Holds – Front – 3 x 60s, Sides – 3 x 30s ea side
