Strength Cycle: Post-Open Cycle 2 – Week 8
Last week before Retest Week!
Strength/Skill
Every 90sec for 15min
2 Box Squat @ 57.5-67.5%
*This is *Speed Work*, so control the negative then ROCKET off the box/plates.
+
8-10 Straight-Arm Band Lat Pulldown (Inside Rig)
*Whatever you used last week, add one more band, or use a heavier version this week. This is the final week you’ll see these. Next week is Retest Week.
WOD
AMRAP 15
Run 200m or Row 250/200m or Bike 500/400m
15 Box Step Overs (S: Jump Overs)
15 S2O – L: 75/55; S: 115/75
*Today’s goal is constant movement, so nothing should be too taxing that you’re standing around anywhere. If you only have 70% to give today, then go steady thru the movements with steady reps so you don’t explode anywhere. If you’ve got more, and can push to 80-85% for 15min straight, then push it.
