WOD 04/09/2020
Zoom WOD (Live at Noon & 6pm) – recording will be posted by mid-afternoon.
BRIEF
Today we have a 17 minute AMRAP with 5 movements.
Right from the start, hold a steady pace and focus on breathing. Make the Rows tough enough so that 5 reps makes sense. Goblet/front squats should be done at a steady pace. You’ll move right into two “breathing stations” – jumping jacks and mountain climbers. Both of these movements are tough to standardize because there’s so much variation in how to do them, so simply focus on moving well and keeping your breath rate high. As soon as you finish, you’re out on a steady paced run.
As you reach the last 4-5 minutes, push the pace and finish strong.
For Rows, use anything the lets you activate your upper body pulling muscles. If your equipment/space allows and you can complete them with great form, do Pull-Ups. Keep the movement strict and adjust to make it tough.

Rest as needed
In the old days of Russia, they said that a prerequisite for the weightlifting team was a Turkish Get-up (TGU) at your bodyweight. So if you weigh 175lbs, you were required to do a 175lb Turkish Getup. 😲That requires FULL body strength, along with balance and coordination…a great prerequisite for weightlifting.
The TGU is a multi-step movement, taking you from the ground- to standing- then back down to the ground. One of the great things about them is that you can use almost anything for a load…anything you can support with one hand.
Start with something light, like a pillow or book, to work on balance and positioning- then increase the weight. Be sure the weight remains directly over the shoulder joint throughout the movement. Go SLOWLY. If you’re rushing, you’re missing the point!
