Need input. We rest and recover to enable us to get stronger and faster. I have not had a rest week in a long while. I usually program them every 6wks or so. A rest week doesn't necessarily mean that you get to sit around a pool drinking coronas (except for maybe this week). It means you stretch, dial back the loads, dial back the number of days and the intensity.
So let me know if you want programming this week or next week, but one week we will be resting!
MONDAY
15min Tall Snatch 3RM
(i know you all wanted to squat)
The tall snatch is simply the third pull of the snatch. It is begun with the lifter standing tall with no bend in the knees; some coaches will start the movement with flat feet and others on the toes. From this tall position, the lifter begins transitioning the feet from the pulling to receiving positions while pulling under the bar aggressively to receive it in the overhead squat position.
DEMO
Then
8MIN AMRAP
8 push jerks (135/95) - scale as needed
8 ring dips
16 kb snatch (8L then 8R)
after 8min pick up your rope for 2min straight of DU
DU score is total /5 So 100= 20, but 98 is only 19. ROUND DOWN
Total reps = 8min reps, + 2min of DU (rounded appropriately)
With the end of the Open WODs, this week seems to make sense. I could use some skill work, too.
ReplyDeleteDid the WOD at lunch: 125 my total reps.
ReplyDeleteWrist was weak, so maybe a week of "rest" may be a good idea. If you program it, I will plan to to cardio, streching and biking. Some isometric with not so much weight.
Any way those are my two cents. :)
p.s. headache are almost gone!!! that 12.4 (150 ball squats didi it!!!)
