Workout van de dag (WOD)
Formaat: For Time (with a 20-minute time cap)
The Workout: “Mid-Week Mixer”

Uitleg: Start by rowing 500 meters. Once finished, move to the barbell for 30 Overhead Squats. After the squats, perform 20 Ring Dips. Then, immediately go for a 400-meter run. After the run, perform another 20 Ring Dips, followed by 30 Overhead Squats. Finish the workout with another 500-meter row. Your score is the total time it takes to complete all the prescribed work. There is a 20-minute time cap for this WOD.
WOD Bewegingsnormen:
- Rij: Roei de opgegeven afstand op de Concept2 Rower.
- Overhead Squat: Start with the barbell in the overhead position (arms locked out, active shoulders). Squat down until your hip crease is clearly below the top of your knee. Stand to full extension with the barbell still overhead.
- Ring Dip: Start with arms extended and locked out on the rings. Lower your body until your shoulders are below your elbows. Push back up to full extension.
- Rennen: Ren de opgegeven afstand.
Schaalopties voor de WOD:
- Row / Run:
- Reduce the distance (e.g., 300m Row, 200m Run).
- Substitute Row with 25/20 Calorie Assault Bike.
- Overhead Squat:
- Reduce the weight (e.g., PVC pipe, empty barbell, or dumbbells).
- Perform Front Squats or Back Squats if overhead mobility is a major limitation.
- Verminder het aantal herhalingen.
- Ring Dip:
- Banded Ring Dips (use a resistance band for assistance).
- Box Dips (perform dips with hands on a box or bench).
- Push-ups (on the floor or elevated).
- Verminder het aantal herhalingen.
Afkoeling (5-10 minuten)
- Voer statische stretches uit met de nadruk op:
- Schouders en triceps (bijv. strekken boven het hoofd, triceps strekken)
- Hips and Hamstrings (e.g., Pigeon pose, seated hamstring stretch)
- Calves (e.g., Wall calf stretch)
- Onderrug (bijvoorbeeld de Kinderhouding)
Scoren: 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 20-minute time cap, your score is “20:00 + (remaining reps)”. For example, if you finish the second 30 OHS but have 100m left on the final row, your score would be “20:00 + 100m”.
Have a challenging and rewarding workout on Wednesday! Remember to prioritize good form, especially in the Overhead Squats.
