9 MAR - Squattin' Diane

Tomorrow’s workout is a challenging combination between last week's main site WOD and “Diane” within a fast paced conga line. This should be a good challenge.

Squattin’ Diane:

Teams of 3.

21-15-9 reps of:

Dumbell Deadlift (30lb-90lb dumbbells)

Overhead Squat (45lb-115lb bar)

Handstand Pushups (sub w/ a press if can’t do more than 7 when fresh)

Line up the team and send the first athlete in to do dumbbell deadlift. Once complete, the athlete steps forward, performs overhead squat, and goes into aerobics room to do handstand pushups. As the first athlete leaves the dumbbells, the second athlete steps to the dumbbells and follows the conga line. Again, there is no swapping of order during the workout only coaching/pushing the person in front of you.

4 Mar - Posterior Chain Reaction

Building on the Conga and apparent love for team workouts - we will have some fun with this one.

Team of 5.

5 Rounds for time

Clean x 15

Thruster x 15

Air squats x 15

Tunnel Run (tag the pipe)

We will start out with a very quick lesson on proper form for the 2 lifts and break into groups based on proficiency with movements. Also, look at the total amount of reps here - individuals can still find the prescribed intensity despite scaling back weights for your team's total ability. Weights will likely range from a 35lb to 75lb bar.

Line up the team and send the first athlete in to do cleans and thrusters. Once complete, the athlete steps forward, turns around, performs 15 air squats for everyone to admire, and hits the tunnel run. As the first athlete leaves the bar, the second athlete steps to the bar and follows the conga line. The round is complete and begins again when the first athlete gets to bar. There is no swapping of order during the workout only coaching/pushing the person in front of you.

Tues, 1 Mar - Conga Line w/Bench Press & Pull-ups

From Journal Oct 2003.

Cadet Weight Room, 0550

Teams of 5.

5 rounds.

We will break up into groups and scale workouts at the beginning. We should picking weights (45, 65, 95, 135, 185 lbs) such that your max benchpress reps are equal to max pullups.

Set-up a bench, rack and bar near the pull-up bar. Line up the team and send the first athlete in to do max reps of bench as possible without racking or resting on the chest. Once spent immediately, but without running or rushing, he/she goes to the pull-up bar and performs a max set of pull-ups. As the first athlete completes his last bench press rep the second athlete readies to take his place. On finishing both his bench and pull-up reps the athlete goes back to the end of the line. The bench is never open for more than a few seconds and no one begins his pull-ups until the athlete ahead of him drops from the bar.

Teams will compile total reps completed.
