High Intensity is your ability to push your boundaries a little further everyday.  If you never test your limits you’ll never know what you’ve got.

Todays Rowing WOD calls for Race Pace and is a test of your ability to consistently perform under pressure.  Set the monitor for Intervals Variable and input 1k, 5min rest, 1k, 5min rest, 500m, 3min rest, 500m, 3min rest, 250m, 1min30sec rest, 250m, 1min30sec rest.  Pick the 500m Split and Stroke Rating you plan to hold as your race pace for your next 2k.  For each distance execute that pace (split and SR) as consistently as possible.  When you repeat a distance try to be even more consistent and imagine each stroke takes you closer to a PR.

Remember, the goal is to row at race pace for every piece.  Focus on your split and stroke rate and row at high intensity with good form.

Post your average 500m splits for each piece to comments.

Strength WOD:

6 x 3 Deadlift

Conditioning WOD:

AMRAP6

3 Overhead Squats (115/75 lbs.)

3 Handstand Push Ups

30 Double Unders

Today’s focus is Strength!  Get in a good warmup with the Rowing WOD and mentally prepare to go big for the Deadlifts.  If you have a solid setup in the Deadlift and stay connected as you squeeze the weight off the floor, the next time you hop on an erg you will pull numbers you’ve never seen before.  Dialing in the details of the basic lifts like the deadlift and the back squat can transfer both strength, power, and body awareness to your stroke in the boat.  Keep training your endurance and aerobic capacity, but be sure you have the strength to support your stroke when you need it most!

Get Strong and Share your experience!

Today’s Rowing WOD is a 2k Row.  It’s a test of how much pain and glory you can endure over seven to eight minutes.  Grab some friends and get after it.  This is our first test post CRASH-B’s and will give us an idea of how our training is progressing and what pacing we should use in future workouts. Be in the moment, execute your splits, smile, have some fun, breath, and get after it!
