As Mike Boyle would put it:
To get faster, you need to do two things: get stronger and run sprints. It’s not hard and it’s not cute
WOD #9
The focus today was mainly shoulders. So we did the following for 6 rounds each. 20 seconds per round, and resting 20 seconds after the 2nd round of the 4th exercise.
1. Push Press: 2 – 25 lb plates on Olympic Barbell
2. Up and Outs: standard Olympic Barbell ( what to do: we do a press, and then we do a push out from chest, fast movement)
3. Ropes – sideways
4. Ropes – Double power slam
After perform a pullup underneath bar using underhand grip. Tabata style for 4 mins. 20 seconds on, 20 seconds off.
The last little bit is a Ab workout for 20 seconds each.
1. Mountain climber rotation
2. Regular mountain climber
3. Leg raise ( left, right, and center )
4. Crunches with knees bent 90 degrees
rest 10 seconds and repeat for 3 more rounds.
Another quick little WOD to burn some calories and work on your shoulders. Enjoy!
WOD #8
Todays WOD is more of a cardio workout.
1. Battle ropes, alternating hands.
2. Weighted burpees.
Do this with a partner if you can or you can time out.
If you do it with a partner, the burpees exerciser sets the pace.
12 burpees then switch. For 10 rounds.
If you are doing if for time, then 20 seconds each and switch. Do this for 10 rounds as well.
Agility and speed.
We performed laterals over cones.
Do this for 4-8 mins non-stop taking turns. 20 seconds on, then switching right away, or resting for 20 seconds.
3 rounds of medicine ball drop from bench to partner, and partner pushes ball straight back up. about 10 – 20 reps.
Finish with some Abs:
1. Double crunches
2. reverse crunches
3. Plank on Swiss ball with forearms on ball.
do this for 20 seconds per ab exercise, and 3 rounds no rest.
You should feel a burn, or you are doing it wrong. Have fun and give it a go!
