Allenamento del giorno (WOD)
Formato: Per il tempo
The Workout: “The Friday Grind”
Complete the following for time, performing all repetitions of one exercise before moving to the next:
- 50 calorie Row
- 40 Cleans (Suggested Weight: 95 lbs for men / 65 lbs for women)
- 30 Push-ups
- 20 Kettlebell Swings (Suggested: 53 lbs for men / 35 lbs for women)
- 10 tiri con la palla a muro (consigliato: 20 libbre a 10 piedi per gli uomini / 14 libbre a 9 piedi per le donne)
Spiegazione: Start by rowing 50 calories. Once the monitor hits 50, move directly to the barbell and perform 40 Cleans at the suggested weight. After the 40th Clean, perform 30 Push-ups. Then complete 20 Kettlebell Swings. Finally, finish with 10 Wall Ball Shots. Your score is the total time it takes to complete all the prescribed work.
WOD Movement Standards:
- Vogatore (Calorie): Row until the monitor displays the target number of calories.
- Clean: The barbell starts on the floor. Lift the barbell to the front rack position (barbell resting on the shoulders, elbows up and forward) in one fluid movement. You may squat under the bar (Squat Clean) or receive it higher (Power Clean) as long as it finishes in the front rack with hips and knees extended.
- Push-up: Start in a plank position with hands under shoulders. Lower your chest to touch the floor (or slightly above) while maintaining a straight line from head to heels. Push back up to the starting plank position with arms fully extended.
- Kettlebell Swing: Hike the kettlebell back between your legs with a flat back. Drive your hips forward forcefully to swing the kettlebell to overhead (American Swing) or eye-level (Russian Swing – confirm which style is prescribed by your gym). Finish with hips and knees fully extended.
- Colpo di palla a muro: Mettetevi di fronte a una parete con una palla medica. Accovacciarsi con la palla al petto, nella piega dell'anca sotto la parte superiore del ginocchio. Alzarsi con forza e lanciare la palla per colpire il bersaglio sulla parete. Prendere la palla e scendere direttamente nello squat successivo.
Opzioni di scala per il WOD:
- Row (Calories): Reduce the number of calories (e.g., 30-40).
- Cleans:
- Reduce the weight of the barbell.
- Perform Hang Cleans instead of Cleans from the floor.
- Reduce the number of repetitions (e.g., 30 reps).
- Substitute with Dumbbell Cleans.
- Push-ups:
- Perform push-ups on your knees.
- Perform elevated push-ups (hands on a box or bench).
- Kettlebell Swing:
- Ridurre il peso del kettlebell.
- Perform Russian swings instead of American (if applicable).
- Colpo di palla a muro:
- Ridurre il peso della palla medica.
- Ridurre l'altezza dell'obiettivo.
- Perform air squats with the medicine ball held at the chest (no throw).
Raffreddamento (5-10 minuti)
- Eseguire stiramenti statici concentrandosi su:
- Hamstrings and Glutes (e.g., Pigeon pose, seated forward fold)
- Back (e.g., Child’s Pose, cat-cow stretch)
- Shoulders and Chest (e.g., Pec stretch in doorway, overhead triceps stretch)
- Quads (e.g., Standing quad stretch)
Punteggio: Your score for this WOD is the total time it takes you to complete all the prescribed work. If a time cap is set by your coach and you do not finish, your score is the number of reps completed.
Have a great workout on Friday, May 16th! Remember to warm up properly and prioritize safe movement.
