Open WOD 12.1

CrossFit Carolina Beach – CrossFit

– Strength: Today are performing a superset of shoulder width bench press and inverted rows. The purpose is to train the triceps, biceps, and back. Add weight each set for bench press and perform all sets that are challenging for the rows.
– Metcon: Today we’ll partner up to judge/count for each other and perform a past open WOD that is incredibly deceiving! This workout really is about being smart with your pacing so come up with a goal in terms of how much work you want to complete each minute. Top games athletes got around 140 reps when this was first released.

Strong Stuff

CrossFit Carolina Beach – Competitors Training

– Strength: This should take roughly 8-10 singles to complete. As the sets approach heavier loads ie. 80-85%+ make sure you are resting the full 3 minutes. We are NOT using accommodating resistance today as we have not tested a Sumo Deadlift. Even still, you should have a concrete plan in mind, even though we haven’t performed this in quite some time and have focused on using AR.

For your Hang Squat Snatch, the goal is to hit a heavy single – not necessarily a new PR.

– Metcon: The goal with this piece is maximal effort – lactic system work. This is similar work to what we’ve performed before working on the lactic system and it’s ability to recover and maintain high-power output throughout. If you’re wearing heart-rate monitors I’d like to see your HR come down to 115 before starting their next set. This will ensure you can work with similar levels of output throughout. The loading should be somewhat challenging – not quite a full sprint.

Partner Up

CrossFit Carolina Beach – Competitors Training

– Metcon: Today’s metcon will be done with 1 athlete completing a full round. This will allow for both to gain full recovery for all sets and sustain a high level of output throughout, around 80-85%.

With that said, your weight choices should allow for unbroken sets for ALL ROUNDS particularly with the DB Hang Power Cleans, these need to be light. On the other hand, your farmer carries should be heavy.

These should be a challenging 1 lap.

After the metcon you have the option of doing zone 1 cyclical recovery work – 120-130 BPM.

– Strength: Today we start a new speed-strength wave for the Back Squat – you will see this percentage work for the next 3-weeks. The goal isn’t necessarily to be explosive but to be efficient for all sets. This is a good opportunity for you to reinforce good technique as well as incur more time under tension than our typical dynamic effort work. Take your time working up and then perform all sets at 75%.

– Metcon: Today we are testing a new benchmark workout.
Go lighter than you think today with the barbell weight choice, especially if there is any doubt. Effort today should be lower to ensure you don’t redline and you can maintain your work throughout – 80% effort so resting early is okay.
