W.O.D. and Endurance Tuesday 2/9/21
***Daily WOD and Endurance will be almost identical today! Endurance will complete the exact workout only with 75/55 loads the entire time. Staying light and with more gymnastic movement the entire duration of the 21 minutes, instead of building in weight and decreasing reps. (still taking the 3 minutes of rest between each) Then for score, simply adding 4 sets of calories achieved as well.
DAILY MINDSET
“You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Cue, craving, response, reward.
In “Atomic Habits”, by James Clear, this is the loop process that determines many of our actions.
A large part of the above is the final piece – the reward. We can be reward oriented beings. It’s not a bad thing by itself, but we do find ourselves in trouble when it is the only thing.
The quote above gives us something to think about. Sometime today, we’ll come across the individual who can offer us “the least in return”. As in, there won’t be a reward for whatever we do for them.
How we act inside that moment is the reality of our character.

OVERHEAD SQUATS
Sequence
- The overhead squat is the big movement we want to focus on today
- We can walk our athletes through the full sequence from start to finish
- To keep things manageable, let’s go through each portion with a PVC pipe before getting to the barbell
- This allows us to get a lot of good reps in at a light load that allows for technical focus
- Here is a bullet point list of the things we’ll talk through:
- Getting the Barbell Overhead: Snatch or Clean & Behind the Neck Jerk
- Stabilize the Bar Overhead: Hands Up & Elbows Locked
- Squat Sequence: Slight Hinge Back
- Keeping the Bar Balanced: Over the Mid-Foot
- Standing Up Effectively: Hips & Shoulders Together
- Check out the Daily Video for a full run through of each point

STRATEGY + WOD [35:00-60:00]
GENERAL
- If there’s two things we shoot for today, they are:
- Big sets of overhead squats (1-2 sets)
- Strong pulls on the machine
- We’re coming off rest, so big sets of squats are doable
- It’s also the only place we’d stop moving, so it’s worth the extra effort
- Following the machine, we head to a rest station
- This is a nice incentive to push hard to accumulate calories
- Find a urgent, but steady pace for the burpees in the middle that allows for a strong effort on the machine
