Note# We saw significant improvements across the board in our strength numbers over the past Wendler progression. Don’t miss the gains- be sure to priorities your squats.
A. Hang Squat Clean + Jerk
Technique/load
B. Back Squat (Cycle 1- Week 1) Calculate 90% of your 1RM and use for the percentages below.
65% x 5
75% x 5
85% x 5+
5+ is designed to be a hard/not true max set. No more than 10 repetitions.*Please know your numbers prior to coming into the gym.
A. Five efforts of:
Max repetitions Strict Pull-ups (Chest to bar for advanced)
or
EMOM x 10 minutes:
Strict Pull-ups *
*Choose your own repetitions and maintain across all rounds.
B. 12minute incrementing ladder:
Run 180m
10 Strict Sit-ups
25 Double-unders *
*Increment double-unders by 25 repetitions per round.
Photo: There are no short cuts – Focus on the quality of your movement, gradually and speed whilst maintaining quality – this will then allow you to build intensity safety and allow for constant progression.
Alternate for 18 minutes:
Minute 1: Dumbbell Thrusters (2 x 15/10kg)
Minute 2: 10 x 10m Shuttle Runs
Minute 1: 5-10-15-20-25-20-15-10-5 repetitions
Minute 2: 10x10m Shuttle Run (held across all efforts)
*WOD is for completion.
* Scaling: Choose a weight that allows for 25 unbroken thrusters (work capacity test).
*Record any missed repetitions throughout the WOD. Eg. 18/20, 24/25.
Failure: If you fail throughout the format aim to maintain the highest number you can through the difficult sets until the repetitions come back down. Eg. 18/20, 15/25, 15/20, 15/15, 10/10, 5/10. The repetitions you choose should be just achievable/not be easy.
