Rowing WOD:

1. 2k Row @5k+7

Deadlifts w/ BC Men's Crew

2. 1 Mile Run (easy pace);

3. EMOM10 – MR Deadlift @40% of 1RM

  • Every Minute On The Minute for 10min Perform…
  • Max Reps in 20sec
  • Focus on Form, Rhythm, and Speed on the Drive

4. As Many Rounds As Possible in 10min

  • 6 Split Squat Jumps
  • 5 Push Ups
  • 5 Box Jumps (24/20 in.)
  • 5 Ball Slams (20/15 lbs.)

5. 1 Mile Run (easy pace)

6. 2k Row @5k+7

Today’s Rowing WOD is an opportunity to use rowing as a warmup and cool down.  The deadlifts are for power and speed on the drive.  Form and speed on the bar should be the focus in hopes of transferring power/skill to the boat.  Push hard in the metcon and get that heart rate and breathing up.  There’s a video below of the Boston College Men’s Crew Team using Renegade Rowing for their daily practice.  If you can do this on the water even better!  This practice should take no longer than 2 hours.  Cut out some of the running/rowing if you’re strapped for time.

Post your load and number of reps for the Deadlift, time for the metcon, and splits held for the rowing and running.

Imagine doing this Rowing WOD on the Charles River

  • Thrusters (45#)
  • Pull Ups (scale w/ jumping pull ups)

The Boston College Men’s Crew Team hit the classic benchmark wod Fran with empty barbells and a focus on power with the hips.  It’s great for feeling the power we need from our legs and hips in the boat.  Have some fun and do your best to execute the 2k row at the end as prescribed.  If you’re not feeling it then back off a little, but be consistent.  Have good form in all movements and have some fun kicking up the intensity.
