MONDAY 141201
Workout Of The Day (WOD)
For the months of December 2014 and January 2015, we are bringing back the Wendler Strength Series for Bench Press, Front Squat, Shoulder Press and Deadlift. The Wendler Strength Series is an extremely effective progressive strength training program. The key to the success in the program is establishing an accurate 1 Repetition Maximum effort for the applied lifts, and then incrementally increasing the weight and volume over a series of weeks.
Wendler Strength Series for Bench Press and Front Squat (Week 1)
Rest as needed then complete two sets for maximum repetitions:
As Many Repetitions As Possible (AMRAP) in 1:00 of Wall Ball Shots
Rest 1:00
As Many Repetitions As Possible (AMRAP) in 1:00 of Pull-ups
Rest 1:00
As Many Repetitions As Possible (AMRAP) Box Jumps
Note: For the Wendler series, if you do not already have an accurate data point, first establish your 1 Repetition Max for the Bench and Front Squat. Then perform the Wendler series for Week 1. For the AMRAP, Wall Ball weight for men is 20lb. and women is 14lb. Box Jump height is 24 inches for men and 20 for women.
