Entrenamiento del día (WOD)
Formato: For Time (with a 10-minute time cap)
The Workout: “Thursday Thrill”
Completa lo siguiente por tiempo:
- 21/18 Calorie Assault Bike (21 calories for men / 18 calories for women)
- 15 Toes-to-Bar
- 15 Handstand Push-ups
- 15/12 Calorie Assault Bike
- 12 Toes-to-Bar
- 12 Handstand Push-ups
- 9/6 Calorie Assault Bike
- 9 Toes-to-Bar
- 9 Handstand Push-ups
Explicación: Start with 21 (men) or 18 (women) calories on the Assault Bike. Once complete, immediately move to 15 Toes-to-Bar, followed by 15 Handstand Push-ups. Then, return to the Assault Bike for the next set of calories (15/12), and continue through the descending rep scheme of Toes-to-Bar and Handstand Push-ups. Your score is the total time it takes to complete all the prescribed work. There is a 10-minute time cap for this WOD, making it a fast sprint.
Estándares de Movimiento WOD:
- Assault Bike (Calories): Pedal until the monitor displays the target number of calories.
- Toes-to-Bar: Cuélgate de la barra de dominadas con un agarre por encima de la mano. Sube los pies hasta tocar la barra entre las manos. Controla el descenso para volver a colgarte completamente.
- Flexiones de manos (HSPU): Start in a handstand position (typically against a wall). Lower your body by bending your elbows until your head touches the ground (or an abmat/plates for scaling). Press back up to a full handstand position with arms locked out. Kipping is typically allowed unless strict is specified.
Opciones de escalado para el WOD:
- Assault Bike (Calories):
- Reduce the number of calories further.
- Substitute with Rowing (e.g., 20/15, 12/10, 8/5 cal).
- Toes-to-Bar:
- Knees-to-Elbows (bring your knees up towards your elbows).
- Hanging Knee Raises (bring knees towards chest).
- V-ups o Sit-ups en el suelo.
- Reduzca el número de repeticiones.
- Flexiones de manos (HSPU):
- Pike Push-ups (feet on floor or on a box, hips piked, lower head towards ground).
- Dumbbell Push Press (use dumbbells, perform a push press overhead).
- Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press.
- Reduzca el número de repeticiones.
Enfriamiento (5-10 minutos)
- Realizar estiramientos estáticos centrándose en:
- Shoulders and Triceps (e.g., Overhead stretch, triceps stretch)
- Hamstrings and Hips (e.g., Pike stretch, hip flexor stretch)
- Lats and Core (e.g., Lat stretch on a bar, cat-cow)
Puntuación: Your score for this WOD is the total time it takes you to complete all the prescribed work. If you do not complete the workout within the 10-minute time cap, your score is “10:00 + (remaining reps)”. For example, if you finish the 15/12 cal bike and 12 Toes-to-Bar, but only 5 HSPU in the 12-rep round, your score would be “10:00 + 5 HSPU”.
Push hard on this sprint! Good luck with your Thursday workout!
