CrossFit Republic – CrossFit





Daily Strength W.O.D. – 16 Minutes (4 Rounds for weight)

Close Grip Bench Press (Inside of knurling)

4 Sets of 8 Reps of Close Grip Bench Press

Intended Stimulus

This is an upper-body accessory strength session focused on triceps strength and pressing stability.

The closer grip increases demand on:

Triceps

Shoulder stability

Control through the bottom of the press

The goal is controlled, repeatable volume and not max weight.

Loading Guidance

Choose a weight that:

Allows all 8 reps to be completed with control

Feels challenging by reps 6–8

Leaves 1–2 reps in reserve

If elbows flare excessively or the bar path becomes inconsistent, reduce the load.

Execution Notes

Grip just inside the knurling.

Keep wrists stacked over elbows.

Lower the bar under control.

Light touch at the chest and no bouncing.

Full lockout at the top.

Maintain upper-back tension throughout the set.

Rest

Rest 90–120 seconds between sets.

Big Picture

This session supports:

Stronger lockout in pressing

Better control in bench variations

Transfer to push press and jerk strength

Quality reps matter more than heavier weight.

GOAT Option – 20 Minutes (Checkmark)

GOAT Day – What This Is and How to Use It

In CrossFit, a GOAT is a movement or capacity that consistently limits you. It might be something you avoid, something that slows you down in workouts, or something you always have to scale. GOAT days exist to deliberately train those weaknesses instead of letting them stay weaknesses.

Structure

Choose two movements you want to improve

One should be cardio-based (bike, row, run, ski, etc.)

One should be a skill or strength skill (gymnastics, barbell cycling, positional work, etc.)

Build a workout that allows for quality reps and repeatable effort

This is not a test. Avoid redlining early or turning it into a max-effort workout.

Use loads, distances, and progressions that let you practice under mild fatigue without breaking down.

Time Guidance

12–20 minutes of working time is plenty

Short rest is fine if it keeps execution clean

What to Prioritize

Consistency across rounds

Movement quality over speed

Exposure to the movement without failure or panic

Example GOAT Day Workouts

Example 1: Engine + Gymnastics

10 Rounds:

Minute 1: 15/12 Cal Echo Bike

Minute 2: 20–30 seconds of Handstand Hold or Wall Walk Progression

Example 2: Aerobic Capacity + Barbell Cycling

Every 4:00 for 5 sets:

500m Row

6–8 Power Cleans (moderate, unbroken focus)

Finish with 1:00–1:30 remaining each round

Example 3: Running + Pulling Skill

4 Rounds:

400m Run

8–12 Strict Pull-ups or Ring Rows

Goal is repeatable pacing, not fastest round

Example 4: Machine + Overhead Stability

12–15 Minute AMRAP:

10/8 Cal Ski

8 Dumbbell Overhead Squats (light–moderate)

Choose a load you can move smoothly without pressing out

Example 5: Bike + Gymnastics Transition

6 Sets:

1:00 Assault Bike

1:00 Alternating Between Double-Unders or Single-Unders

Rest 1:00 between sets if needed to keep skills consistent

If you’re unsure what to pick, ask a coach. GOAT Day works best when you’re honest about what actually needs work—not what you’re already good at.
