Daily Strength W.O.D. – 15 Minutes (3 Rounds for reps)

Complete 3 Sets for Max Reps of…

Men: 100% of Bodyweight Bench Press

Women: 70% of Bodyweight Bench Press

This equals out to a set every 5 minutes. Log weight in notes and in historical Wodify data below.

Intended Stimulus

This is a relative upper-body strength test .

The goal is to see how many quality reps you can perform with a load relative to your bodyweight. This gives a good picture of pressing strength relative to body size.

Each set should be a near-max effort , but still controlled and technically sound.

Execution Notes

Feet planted and stable on the floor

Upper back tight and shoulders pulled down and back

Controlled descent to the chest

Press to full elbow lockout

No bouncing the bar off the chest.

Rest

Take the full 5 minutes between sets .

These sets should be demanding enough that you need the recovery to repeat strong efforts.

Goal

Produce as many clean reps as possible each set

Minimize drop-off between rounds

Stop the set if bar speed slows dramatically or form breaks down

Big Picture

This session develops:

Relative pressing strength

Upper-body muscular endurance under load

Consistent bar path and pressing mechanics

Heavy, repeatable pressing strength carries over to movements like push presses, jerks, and many gymnastics movements.

Endurance W.O.D. – 30 Minutes (Distance)

Row for For Distance (Meters)

Every 500 Meters for the Men, 400 Meters for the Women Complete…

3 Single Arm Russian Swings

Kettlebell: 53/35

Intended Stimulus

This is a long aerobic endurance workout with small interruptions that challenge unilateral strength and coordination.

The row should stay steady and sustainable for the full 30 minutes. The kettlebell sequence briefly breaks the rhythm and forces the body to reset before returning to the machine.

The goal is consistent rowing pace while staying composed during transitions .

How This Should Feel

Controlled breathing for most of the workout

Legs gradually accumulating fatigue from the row

Shoulders and grip lightly taxed from the kettlebell work

You should never feel like you’re sprinting.

Pacing Expectations

Row at a pace you could maintain for 30+ minutes .

The kettlebell work should take 30 – 60 seconds , then you immediately return to rowing.

Avoid turning the kettlebell portion into conditioning, it should stay smooth and controlled.

Movement Notes

Russian Swings

Hinge with the hips

Bell finishes around chest height

Cleans

Use hips, not arms

Bell lands softly in the rack

Front Squats

Tall torso

Full foot pressure

Push Press

Dip and drive with the legs

Stable lockout overhead

Big Picture

This workout builds:

Aerobic endurance

Unilateral strength and coordination

The ability to maintain pace over long durations

Stay smooth, stay consistent, and let the meters accumulate.

Step 1: 20/10

Step 2: 25/15

Step 3: 35/20

Step 5: 70/55
