Brad OHS

A. Front Squat; build to a heavy set of 4 and do 5 more sets of 4 at that weight.
B. 3 rounds; resting approx 1 min between sets:
Romanian Deadlift @31X1; 4-6 reps
Bulgarian Split Squat @21X1; 8-10 reps
Glute Ham Raise @2112; 10-12 reps
C. 50 GHD Sit-ups for time

Notes:
A. The first set of 4 should be heavy but not maximal so that you can do 5 more sets at the same weight. Coach may assign different types of squats and rep schemes as needed.
B. Prioritize tempo and form over load and volume. Use the rep range to determine the weight. Aim to go heavier than last time on the romanian deadlifts and the split squats. Scale GH raises to GHD Hip Extensions or supine single leg bridge at tempo.
C. Scale range of motion and reps as needed.

Please post results to comments.

I had originally posted in the programming preview that Friday would be Upper Body Strength with a metcon, but I somehow got mixed up with the days because of the New Year’s Team Wod.  Front Squat might be a little tough after Thursday’s lunges but we’ll give it a shot anyway and still get some upper body strength work in on Saturday before the Team WOD on New Year’s Day.  Sorry about the mix-up…

10 minutes mobility work or easy active rest
4 sets:

Airdyne is the preferred modality for this but rowing or sprinting will work.  Aim for all out effort, if using Airdyne or Rower, count calories.
