WOD – Tue, Feb 24

Intent

(0-5)

Today we get after a complex as our strength work. These complex exercises/movements have a unique means to build balance, accuracy, coordination and agility better than most. There is no doubt that when you challenge the loading you will receive plenty of strength and power benefits, but the first 4 neuromuscular adaptations are the ones most overlooked. Blending these demands with the strength stimulus is what consistently sets apart our means of training with others–the carry over into everyday life through task or mission should be obvious. Challenge yourself today! After we lift heavy, we deload the bars to a load that should be highly cyclical for you. It is ok for it to create a formidable challenge, but if you cannot deadlift the load you choose for 20+ reps unbroken it is too heavy for this stimulus. The idea is to pick a weight that does not have to be adjusted as the movements evolve and the workout advances. If you are poor at shoulder to overhead or hang cleans, then the load that allows you to perform those well is the load that should be on the barbell.
