Monday

Brief
This is the fourth week of this 4 week training cycle. For the front squat warm up sets, perform 15 reps at 30%, 10 reps at 50%, 5 reps at 60% to get the blood flowing before your heavier sets. Then, in 3 working sets, build up to a heavy 3. Note, heavy is not maximal. There should be no misses. Leave 1-2 reps "in the tank" on your final set.
The metcon is a for-time workout. This will be one of our competition pieces for the week. The work should definitely be finishable within the 15min time-cap.

Tuesday

Brief
Today we have a strength section and then a metcon.
In the strength section you will perform 1 set of the complex every 90 seconds for 6 sets, building in weight each set. The complex will involve 1 push press+2 push jerks.
We want today's metcon to be a sustainable, aerobic piece. This means you should get the same number of calories, double unders, dips and pull-ups each round. Place a 90sec cap on the skipping each round. If you are working on DUs, you can use this 90 seconds as an opportunity to practise the DUs. If you cannot perform DUs, it is recommended you have 1 attempt at double unders at the start of each round. And then complete 200 single unders. If you cannot perfom strict Ring Dips, perform Ring Pushups instead. The ring dips will be STRICT. The pull-ups can be strict or kipping. If you cannot perform pull-ups, perform jumping pullups. Perform 1 unbroken set of Ring Dips and then 1 unbroken set of pullups. Set the rings at ring dip height and place a box near the rings. Therefore if you need to perform ring pushups, you can place your feet on the box to be at the right height. You can record your calories/reps each round in the wodify if you wish.

Brief
This is the third week of this 4 week training cycle. For the front squat warm up sets, perform 15 reps at 30%, 10 reps at 50%, 5 reps at 60% to get the blood flowing before your heavier sets. Then, in 3 working sets, build up to a heavy 4. Note, heavy is not maximal. There should be no misses. Leave 1-2 reps "in the tank" on your final set.
For the metcon, the dumbbell complex has intentionally low repetitons. We will work in groups of 3. You should perform this dumbbell complex unbroken, round for round with your 2 team-mates. This 1:2 work:rest means you should challenge yourself to lift heavier dumbbells than you usually would. Working in groups of 3 means you will get a motivational push from your teams mates too. Record your teams' total rounds in Wofify if you wish. Also record your dumbbell weight.

Brief
Today we will have a strength section and then a metcon.
In the strength section you will perform 1 set of the complex every 90 seconds for 6 sets, building in weight each set. The complex will involve 1 pause push press (where you will pause for 1 second in the dip positon, to practise knees out, weight on the heels in the dip) + 1 regular push press with no pauses + 1 regular push jerk.
We want today's metcon to be a sustainable, aerobic piece. This means you should get the same number of calories each round of the 1min40sec row/bike. You should pick a wall ball weight that allows you to move unbroken for the 30 reps each round. If you cannot perfom SHSPU perform Box or pike SHSPU instead. Perform 1 unbroken set of SHSPU and then move onto 12 renegarde row (6 per side).
