WOD Summary
Please look at Wodify for the specific daily WOD announcements. They are available a week in advance. We’ll post the next day’s WOD here the day before.
This week is our final week of a variant of the 5-3-1 strength cycle. One difference has been that instead of back squats, we’ve been working on front squats on this cycle.
Let’s start our WOD summary by mentioning that we are finishing this week with… drum roll please… Murph! And we’ll have plenty of options for all levels! Now for the rest of the week, we’ve been getting a lot of requests for more partner WODs and we are happy to deliver. And Monday’s partner WOD involves wheel barrows, which is a movement we haven’t done in a long time. And then Tuesday’s partner WOD, yes a double treat this week, involves the bike, burpees and bag cleans (That will be a good one!). Wednesday and Thursday will be some good short to medium length metcons. On Wednesday we are introducing a different jumping exercise for a good variance on a very functional movement. Friday we will focus on the Snatch, but if you want to avoid the barbell you’ll be able to do a great Elements cardio WOD.
A note on our Elements WODs:
The main goal for Elements is to avoid barbells, complex movements and heavy weights.
We keep the Elements WOD as close to the main WOD as possible. This is so our trainers can reasonably demonstrate, teach and coach all the movements involved, and to keep logistics reasonable. Elements isn’t purely a beginner or scaled version. Though we try to keep it similar to the main WOD, it can be very different sometimes, and at times Elements is in some respects “harder” than the main WOD. Our Elements WODs were never intended to be a totally alternate training program.
