500m Row, 20 Lateral Hurdles (Just Below Knee)

Today’s Strength and Conditioning WOD is inspired by the beach to warm-up those that aren’t lucky enough to live in warm weather year round.  You might not be doing this one at the beach, but it should be just as fun.  Try to remain consistent on your 500m intervals.

Strength and Conditioning WOD 12/22/14:

6 Rounds For Time …

10 Push Ups

250m Row (@2k Pace)

10 Pull Ups

:30 Rest After Each Round

It’s Christmas Week, but we can still fit in some solid work.  We’ve got a few more solid days left in 2014, so let’s make the most of them!  Today’s Rowing WOD is a chance to commit to your new 2k split from last Saturday and work on digging deep when the going gets tough.  Every round is an opportunity to fight for that split, just like in the third 500m of a 2k.  Focus on good form with the push ups and pull ups to strengthen our shoulders in different planes and promote good connection through the core.  Attack each round like it’s your last and rely on that 30 seconds of rest to reset and do it all again.  A good goal is to go sub 20 minutes.

Have fun and do good work!

“Baseline”

Complete For Time:

500m Row

40 Air Squats

30 Sit Ups

20 Push Ups

10 Pull Ups

As a Renegade Rower you should be developing broad, general, and inclusive fitness as well as your competence in the sport of rowing.  Today’s workout is a way to test your abilities in both.  It should give you an idea of your work capacity in the 3-6 minute range.  Try to row the 500m piece at a consistent pace to stay fresh for the other movements.

Post your time and strategy to comments.  What stroke rating and 500m split did you try to maintain?

For Time Complete …

Row for Calories

Box Jumps (24/20)

Push Ups

In today’s Rowing WOD really focus on good connection and suspension with the legs.  In this workout you will perform the work as follows: complete 12 calories on the erg, then 12 box jumps, then 12 push ups, then 11 calories, 11 box jumps, 11 push ups, … and so on. Coming off the push ups your arms may be feeling it so work for efficiency and power with the legs on the erg.  Also, be sure to strive for virtuosity and complete each rep of the box jumps and push ups according to the standards of performance.  For box jumps you’re hips must be fully open above the box and for push ups your chest must touch the ground.  For maximum fun grab a partner and have a High Noon Showdown!  Who can make it to 1 first? 3-2-1 Go!

Strength and Conditioning WOD:

Some friends doing something different on a Saturday morning! Competing at the Renegade Rowing League! Who's ready for tomorrow?

Some friends doing something different on a Saturday morning! Competing at the Renegade Rowing League! Who’s ready for tomorrow?

All For Time …

1. 500m Row (like start of 2k)

2. 3 Rounds Of:

  • 5 Power Cleans (135/95 lbs)
  • 10 Burpee Broad Jumps

3. 500m Row (like finish of 2k)

Today’s Rowing WOD is an opportunity to practice both the beginning and end of your 2k race plan while developing power with the hips.  Treat each 500 as if they were your ideal 2k.  For the first 500m perform your starting sequence with a race start, high 7-10 strokes, and settle to race pace.  During the Power Cleans and Burpees work on efficient movement and connection through your hips.  Try to go unbroken and consistently jump the same distance for each broad jump.  If you’re still working technique for the power cleans, substitute 3 med ball cleans for every power clean to build up your strength and conditioning.  As you come into the last 500m you will be feeling it just like the 2k, so focus on breathing and holding onto race pace.  When you hit the last 250m start to negative split and practice your sprint for the finish.

Post your overall time to complete all three parts to comments along with your average split for each 500m.
