WOD Summary

Please look at Wodify for the specific daily WOD announcements. They are available a week in advance. We will no longer post full WODs here.

This week’s Strength cycle schedule:
We are into the 9th week of a 16 week strength cycle based on the Juggernaut system. This week we begin the sets of 5, which will go for 3 weeks. What we like about this system is that it is specifically designed to complement other activities/sports.

20.1 is on! And 20.2 will be announced Thursday evening. Burpees are probably now behind us for the Open. Most likely we will still see double-unders, HSPUs, T2Bs and Pull-ups/C2B/MUs. We will be working on some of these movements this week in anticipation of those showing up in the coming weeks.

Monday starts with some heavy lifting combined with some short glycolic bursts of energy. Tuesday is the classic Filthy Fifty that has just about a bit of everything. On Wednesday we bring the deck of cards with a good mix of lower body and upper body movements. Thursday and Friday are fun partner WODs. One involves some core work combined with interval rowing, and the other a straight forward couplet. Saturday will be whatever Dave Castro comes up with for 20.2!

We hope you enjoy this week of functional, constantly varied workouts done at an appropriate level of intensity. As always – train smart!
