Strength Cycle: Post-Open Cycle – Week 6
Strength/Skill
E2M14M
1 Split Jerk
*Build weight across the sets. Go heavy, but don’t go PR-hunting
+
Max Strict Pullups in 60sec
*Scale to HEAVY Band Pulldowns
WOD
100 Front Squats – L: 75/55; S: 115/75
*Every time you break, complete 5 x 2-DB Renegade Rows – L: 20/10; S: 35/25 (pushup + row + row = 1 rep)
*Cap = 12min. Picking an appropriate weight is key, because we don’t want to see you stuck on the DB forever. We’d recommend being able to knock out 20 reps on your first set. If you can’t do that many, then the weight might be too heavy. Now, you might also choose to NOT do 20 out of the gate, but you should have the ABILITY to do so.
