Team W.O.D. Saturday 7/27/19
DAILY MINDSET
“When you have one foot in the past, and one in the future, you piss on the present.” – Dan Harris
It’s fun to think about the future, and it’s easy to dwell on the past.
What is more challenging is to put the thought power into the present – what is directly in front of us. Right now.
Nothing is insignificant. From the most subtle acts at home between family members, to the minor conversation at work. We never know when it’s our last moment.
It’s less of a morbid thought, and more of a recognition of how fast our lives can be. When everything becomes significant, nothing is more important than right now.

DEADLIFT
Pausing Deadlift
Our pause in the deadlift will happen just and inch below the knee. The 2 second pause here will help athletes slow the first pull to keep their hips and shoulders rising at the same time.
Movement Prep
5 Pausing Deadlifts
5 Deadlifts
FRONT SQUAT
Pausing Front Squat
Our pause in the front squat will happen in the bottom position. This pause gives athletes a couple seconds to focus on elbows up, knees out, and heels down.

5 Pausing Front Squat
5 Front Squats
PUSH JERK
Pausing Push Jerk
Our pause on the front squat will happen in the initial dip in the front rack and the catch overhead. The pause in the dip reinforces balance and the pause in the catch brings a focus to catching in a quarter squat with elbows locked out overhead.

STRATEGY
GENERAL
- Resting twice as long as we work, so looking to push the pace a little on the barbell
- Switch before you start to slow down and be prepared to adjust the game plan as needed
- Communicate what total rep number you are on, not how many reps you did
DB RUN
- Running as a team, so adjust pace to average speed of the 3 athletes
- Stick relatively together instead of sprinting ahead and catching up
BARBELL
- Rounds 1&2: Switch Around 5-10 Reps
- Rounds 3&4: Switch Around 3-5 Reps
