2:00 minute AMRAP

20/14 Calorie Echo Bike

– Max Calorie Row in Remaining Time

Rest 2:00 minutes between sets

—

WOD THOUGHTS: Primary Objective: Goal is to hit a higher number of calories on the max calorie portion than the prescribed for each interval.

Secondary Objective: Increase effort from set 1 to set 1, even if that is only getting one more calorie that you did on set 1.

And yes, the Echo Bike is slightly skewed up from the rower effort and that will create a little added stress to push the row in order to get more than 20/14 cals on the back end of that 2:00 minute AMRAP

7 Shoulder-to-Overheads (165/115lb)

2 minutes Rest between rounds

—

WOD THOUGHTS: Goal is to establish a heavy weight of this complex within the 5 sets. On the Deadstop reps you must pause on the shoulders for 2 seconds. Focus on bracing the midline and shortening the gap between belly button and sternum as we press past the eyes.

Primary Objective: Complete each set in under 2:00 minutes

Secondary Objective: Perform at least 1 set as 4 TnG Squat Cleans to start the set so please factor this in when selecting your loads.

The emphasis. being primarily barbell conditioning and cycling while also working into the rhythm of the Burpee Chest to Bar. Practice staying directly underneath the bar to limit the amount of time between the Burpee and the Chest to Bar.

 

Saturday

20:00 AMRAP, w/Partner

15 Wall Walks

45 Toes To Bar

60 American Kettlebell Swings (53/35lb)

90 Double Unders

Partition Work with Partner as desired

—

WOD THOUGHTS: Focus today is on shoulder stamina and maintaining a good pace with your partner as you partition the reps for the most rounds as possible in 20 minutes. The goal should be to complete each round in under 9:00 minutes in order to get 2+ rounds of the AMRAP.

—

WOD THOUGHTS: Focus today is primarily going to be a quad pump as we move from the Dumbbell Thrusters to the Step-Overs, and finally finishing off with the row. The goal is not to be moving at an all out pace, but working more on trying to be efficient through this EMOM

 

Primary Objective: Complete each set in under 5:00 minutes

Secondary Objective: Complete the Dumbbell Lunges unbroken

Weekly Programming Focus: We are now tackling Week 4 of the PRVN Power Cycle. This week we are getting into a fun little mix of strength work here with the Heavy Deadlift moving to Monday this week to keep the cycle rolling. Because we are starting off the week with some heavy pulling from the floor, we are going to a bodyweight / gymnastics conditioning day on Tuesday where we will be working on some skills and drills for the Ring Muscle-Up. The goal here is to spend some time as a coach going through progressions and having athletes take something away from the day. Either that’s a new athlete just feeling out the positions on a Muscle-Up transition Ring Row or a higher level athlete learning how to go from 3-4 linked Ring Muscle-Up reps. Spend some time watching over progressions and come in prepared to teach on this day. Wednesday we are coming back around to our 5RM Back Squat with the goal of increasing weight from week 1. We will be combining that with drop sets and broad jumps for max distance as our contrast work. Thursday, we are getting into a quality 10:00 EMOM of Power Snatches, then finishing the day with our quality mixed mono work for aerobic conditioning. Friday, brings the heat with the hero workout “Lyon”. This one is a good one focused on barbell conditioning and high effort short intervals with good rest between efforts. Saturday comes around with a quality 20:00 AMRAP in a chipper fashion, then we roll things back around on Sunday with a Deadstop Front Squat as a good technical piece to practice positions and midline bracing.
