Nemesis

So what is the one exercise that if it comes up in a workout you are screwed? For many athletes it is the OHS. This move is so technique driven it just doesn't matter how strong you are. If you do it wrong, there is no way that weight is staying above your head. Your core, I mean stomach and back here people (not abs), has to be rock solid. After a good session of OHSing if your "ABS" aren't sore, then you are not doing it right. If OHS is the one thing you never want to see in a workout you should absolutely be greasing the grove on that thing at least once a week. As they say..."Find what scares you and make it your B*tch."

WOD
5 Rounds of
5 Thrusters
10 OHS
2 Laps

Landmines and Lawnmowers

It is always fun to throw in a new exercise that most have not seen before.

Today it was Landmines and Lawnmowers. (No, not like when you are dancing...) Two great, explosive moves that help with hip function. Your arms will fail long before the legs, so use those hips to their full potential.

WOD
3 Rounds of
1 minute stations with 15 seconds rest

Landmines
Lawnmowers
Burpees
Box Jumps
Plank Rows

Use the Buddy System

Saturday morning is upon us. Why not get the day started with a workout? Better yet, why don't I make it easy on you and give you a partner for the workout? Fair enough! Here is the deal...

Burpees
Lunges on each leg

One person is working while the other is resting.

"Don't start with me, I'm having a Bad day."


Well great, I guess that means we're doing lunges. No better way to cure a bad attitude than to sweat it out. Let it all go, give yourself up to the workout, put in everything you have and the day is sure to turn around. And if it doesn't...at least you got a hell of a workout!


WOD

20 minutes AMRAP

5 Push Press

10 SDHP

15 Lunge steps


THEN

Plank walk the length of the gym and back x 2
