Homework

Homework for remainder of the week:

Tuesday

NCLabs workout

5 heavy sets of snatch, hang snatch, high hang snatch

You'll be limited by the high hang, so warmup appropriately 

Wednesday

I will be out of town this Wednesday, so we won't meet as a group

NCLabs workout

20 minute EMOM

Odd minute row for calories (20/15)

Even minute HSPU

Scale the row so it takes you roughly 35 seconds, but maintain your calorie number!

Friday

5k erg row

You have all been instructed on proper rowing technique - work this 5k as form practice, more than an all out time trial!

Saturday

We'll meet at San Jose (and hopefully they won't have another seminar!)

Nov 19 - Nov 24

TUESDAY
THIS IS YOUR MANDATORY DAY!
Homework:
Alternate between
GHD Situps 20-20-20

KB TGU 4-4-4 (as heavy as possible)

* Rest as needed between sets
(We did this one a couple of months ago, and I'd like to see if it goes any better this time.)

Followed by

2 sets of 8 wrist pushups (band assisted) (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIeL0AYygiY)

(I know these are tough, but they really are very effective in developing wrist strength!)

 

 

WEDNESDAY

Let's spend some time working on the snatch (not too heavy, but working on technique), followed by a rowing workout. 

THURSDAY

Spend 20 minutes on shoulder mobility! Roll out with a lax ball, work external and internal rotation, etc. 

SATURDAY

We'll meet at San Jose.

 

Monday Nov 18 homework

Let's continue in the strength-y type work for your Monday homework:

Tabata pullups interspersed with Tabata pushups

20 sec pullups, 10 sec rest

20 sec pushups, 10 sec rest

20 sec pullups, etc

For 8 minutes (totaling one full Tabata for each movement)

Your goal - never drop off the pullup bar! (I intentionally put in the pushups so your grip strength can recover.)

Please email me your results! I'd like to see how everyone is doing in their pullup and pushups, since it was a serious weakness for many comp club members and I have been programming both in the homework.

Week of Nov 11

Monday

Today's wod is a long, Hero one, so let's go strength-y in the homework:

5 x max pull-ups

5 x max push-ups

EMOM 5 minutes

10 handstand hold shoulder touches (5 each hand)

Wednesday

Pull up, muscle up practice, with a short WOD involving both afterwards (pushups are in Thursday's class workout, so you shouldn't do too many on this evening)

Thursday, Friday

Leg TLC! The class workouts the last couple of days will have been tough on the legs, so spend several minutes with a foam roller on your IT bands, calves, inner leg and quads. Also use a lacrosse ball to roll out your hamstrings and glutes (this is easier if you sit on the ballusing a plyo box or hard chair)

Saturday

We'll meet in San Jose at 10 am, unless you hear from me otherwise!
