Monthly Theme Overview:
Electricity Discipline: Bodybuilding
This month, we’re channeling the discipline of bodybuilding into our workouts. This week is no exception, with a host of exercises designed to build muscle mass and increase strength. You will see this theme echoed in workouts like Tuesday’s Bulgarian Split Squat or Back Squat, Thursday’s Pendlay Row, and Saturday’s Bench Press.
System: Ventilation
Our focus on the ventilation system this month means we’re prioritizing exercises that improve your respiratory system’s efficiency, enhancing oxygen delivery and promoting better performance and recovery. So, don’t be surprised when you see workouts that get your heart pumping and lungs working, like the ‘Catacombs’ on Wednesday and the ‘Stranded’ WOD on Friday.
Virtuosity: Dumbbell
We’re placing a spotlight on dumbbell exercises this month. It’s all about mastering the technique, boosting stability and mobility, and, of course, building strength. Look out for these elements in Monday’s accessory work, Tuesday’s ‘Maple Leaves’, and Wednesday’s Stepups, among others.
Fun: Hero
Who doesn’t love a good Hero WOD? We’ve sprinkled these throughout the month for an added layer of challenge and fun. This week, get ready for ‘DT with a 400 meter run’ on Saturday.
Assessments: Squat Endurance and Running
Let’s track our progress with this month’s assessments – Squat Endurance and Running. We’ve incorporated these elements into the week’s plan, making sure you’re steadily improving.
