Jumps and plyo stabilization.

This WOD has some higher level plyometrics than we normally do, but at very low volume

Coaches it will help to synchronize the group during the WOD to make sure everyone rests a lot.

 

Warmup

-1 min jog in place

-10 cat cow

-20 double leg deficit calf raises

-10 arms overhead squat

 

4 min Tabata jumprope as follows

-single skip

-side to side  bunny hop

-forward and back with feet together

-scissor step forward back

-in & out jumping jack style

-high knees

-butt kickers

-cross overs

-double unders

 

-10 single leg deficit calf raises each side

-10 deep lunges

-10 side to side squat

-10 pike squat

-10 lunges

-10 easy squat jumps

-10 deck squats

-10 alternating single leg deck squats

-10 single leg deficit calf raises each side

 

WOD 1

Jumps:

3R

-8 jumps for height

-rest 2  min.

 

Do not rebound on these jumps. But don’t pause between jumps either. Think of them like squat jumps but there is no depth requirement on the squat. You can use a power or deep squat according to your preference. Make each jump like you are going to dunk in a slam dunk competition.

Use the first few jumps as a test. If you feel pain in shoulders or back then cross arms in front of your chest the whole time. Otherwise it helps to reach for a high target.  If this seems too easy, then jump higher on each rep.

Take the full 2 minutes to rest.

 

WOD 2

3R

-8 lateral box negative with step up. Each side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5onhmaz_nQ

-2 min rest

Do on one leg before you start the other leg. After rest, you can change which leg you start on if you like. Try your “weak leg” first on the first set

Start standing on a box or ledge or stool with one leg off the edge of the box. Lower like a pistol under control while keeping the toes of the non working leg dorsiflexed. Try to only rest your non working heel on the ground and avoid using your calf, foot or toe to push off.

 

Scale using a partial range single leg squat where you sit on to a box or chair https://youtu.be/mcVyqzzjUyk?t=136

 

 

WOD 3

3R

-8 single leg glute bridges each side https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NXv0Nany-Q

-rest 1 min between sets

Do 8 on one side before switching legs

If this is too easy, squeeze harder at the top of each rep. Go for range of motion and make sure you don’t rotate to one side.

 

 

WOD 4

2R

-6 reverse hyperextensions  https://youtu.be/ZeRsNzFcQLQ?t=218

-rest 2 min

 

Scale by widening the width of your straddle. Hardest version will be to keep legs together.

If this is too easy, then squeeze harder at the top of each extension. a bench or a table works well for this. Place a pillow or some clothes under your hips if the table hurts you.

 

WOD 5

2R

-12 single leg deficit calf raises each side.

-rest 2 min between sets

 

Wellness

2R

-1 min straddle stretch

-1 min couch stretch each side

-1 min pike stretch. (try seated pike if you have back pain)”

IF you don’t have a place to do pull ups or dips use sheet rows and floor dips or bench/chair dips. Be sure to point elbows behind you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJk2oeaMNA4

Keep body rigid. Move feet closer to glutes to reduce difficulty.

You can also adjust difficulty by raising one leg, elevating legs or using some combination of the two https://youtu.be/oVIBgopGrRQ?t=69

 

If you have the equipment for dips but not the strength, you can use a leg assist https://youtu.be/oVIBgopGrRQ?t=176

 

 

Warm up

-10 cat cow

-wrist series

– 2 min systems check 1

-20 scapular pulls

– 5 reps prone weighted arm circle each direction. 2lb or less.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDJsaLMlDE

-2 min rocking table

-1 min hang

-5 x 5s push up negative

-accumulate 20s with chin above the bar

-15 s at the top of the dip

-10 s at the bottom of the dip

– 2 x 10 second dip negative

-accumulate 20s 3-stage segmented pull up or segmented pull up negative  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EihD_pt2AFA

-15 s at the top of the dip

-10 s at the bottom of the dip

– 2 x 10 second dip negative

 

 

WOD 1 =26  Min EMOM

-Odd  minute pull

-Even minute dip

 

Use the following rep scheme. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

So for example

Minute 1: 1 pulls

Minute 2: 1 dip

Minute 3: 2 pulls

Minute 4: 2 dip

 

Focus on the highest form you can manage. So for example, if one pull up feels to easy. Make it slow, pull higher or do an L-pull up.  In the higher sets, you don’t have to do all reps at once.  Break them into manageable chunks over the course of the minute but adjust  your version to the highest quality you can manage.

 

Wellness 2 Rounds

-20 backward arm circles

-20 forward arm circles

– 45 s Static Seated Shoulder Flexion  *

– 45s Static Standing Shoulder Extension  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErqPnQZuUK0

 

Go for biggest range of motion possible on arm circles. Slow down to unpack the shoulders if  you need
