5 Stiff Legged Deadlifts

5+5 Staggered Stance Stiff Legged Deadlifts

+

Deadlift 5RM

Coaches Notes: Today is a traditional heavy day with the focus on the king of all lifts, the deadlift. It should be noted that all deadlifts performed for strength should be done with a double overhand hook grip and a deadstop at the bottom. There are two reasons for this. First, the dead stop and double overhand hook grip will limit weight.  One of the primary purposes of a general strength and conditioning program is to progress athletes towards wellness without risk of injury. By finding ways to make the deadlift taxing we limit the risk of injury, which is imperative for the general population. The lack of mixed grip ensures athletes are building a balanced body, and also will have better carry over to the clean.

Score: Deadlift 5RM

AMRAP 20

25 V-Up

50 Double Unders

25 KB Snatch 2/1.5

500m Row

Coaches Notes: A slog of an AMRAP before our heavy 5RM deadlift tomorrow. Rowing today paired with V-Ups, double unders, and DB Snatches. This is grunt work. It is also a good opportunity to discuss pacing. Athletes should have a plan for moving through this workout at a steady pace.

Score: Rounds + Reps on intensity

Scaling for Intensity

• 500 Row → Reduce Distance
• V-Ups → Jack Knives → Sit Ups → Anchored Sit Ups
• Double Under →  Reduced Number of Double Unders →   50 single unders with 5 Double Under attempts each round
• DB Snatch → Reduce the weight → Reduce the reps

Today’s WOD

5 Rounds

2 Overhead Squat w/3s Pause in Bottom, across

10 High Bench Row, Across

+

Regionals 2014 Event 7

64 pull-ups

8 overhead squats, 205/135

6 Minute Time Cap

Coaches Notes: A quick sprint workout and throwback from the 2014 regionals finishes off a day focused on building shoulder stability. The paused overhead squat is a great way to build the upper back, especially when combined with the high bench row.  The met-con itself is very challenging.

Score: Time to complete Intensity. Any incomplete reps count as seconds.

Scaling for Intensity

• Pull Up  → Reduced Reps →  Jumping Pull with Emphasis on Kip Swing →  Ring Row

Overhead Squat → Reduce Weight → Front Squat, only as a last resort

Weighted Ring Dip

4×8 Across

+

AMRAP 12

24 Push Press 95/65

12 Burpee Box Jump Over 24/20

Coaches Notes: Scapular function through a variety of pre-hab exercises before adding some strength work via the strict ring dip. This should build off of the previous focus on the movement with athletes attempting the same weight or scale for more reps across less sets. The AMRAP couplet will finish off pushing muscles.

Score: Rounds + Reps on Intensity

Scaling For Intensity

• Push Press → Reduce weight → Dumbbell Push Press

Burpee Box Jump Over → Reduce Height → Reduce Reps → Burpee Step Up Over

3 Rounds

10+10 Pallof Press
30s Hollow Hold

8+8 KB Windmill

30s L-Sit Hold

Coaches Notes: This is the second “core” day. Training the mid-line is an important piece of gymnastics development, and learning how to move through space while fatigued is a central component of improving met-con performance.  This is a great day for athletes to build a base and the core complex is a great set of exercises for athletes looking to improve quickly to perform on their own.
