Wednesday WODs

In keeping with the spirit of the AP Fitness Challenge, I decided to post a Workout of the Day (WOD) every Wednesday to give you, the readers, a challenge to complete. I will be doing them beforehand and posting my results with the WOD. These WODs are not original, new or super secret. You can find lists and lists on the internet and adapt them to what equipment you have – or even if you have no equipment at all. I personally love the book Cross Training 101: Build the Ultimate Athletic Physique, which is where many of the WODs are coming from (I may modify some slightly to make them more relevant to our purposes).
Of course, modify the exercise as needed (i.e. if you cannot run, walk; if you cannot do a push up, do a modified pushup with your knees down OR a wall push up, etc)
Let’s first go over some basic types of WODs:

  • As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP) – Within a certain time constraint, complete as many rounds of exercises as possible
  • Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) – Within a certain time constraint, complete the exercise(s) at the beginning of every minute
  • For Time – Complete the workout in the quickest time possible and record your time
  • Tabata – Style of interval training where you exercise for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds for a total of 8 rounds
  • To Failure – Doing reps until you physically cannot do another one
  • Pyramid Set – Increasing the number of reps incrementally and then working back down from the peak (i.e. 1-2-3-2-1)

WOD
This WOD, as the last several have, comes from WODWell. I highly recommend you check out their site because they have great WODs and you can separate it out by the type of equipment that you have at your disposal.
Five Rounds FOR TIME

  • 400 meter Ruck Run (30/20 lb)
  • 20 Rucksack Sumo Deadlifts (30/20 lb)
  • 1 minute Rucksack Overhead Hold (30/20 lb)
Athletes will move through 5 rounds of a 400 meter Ruck Run, 20 Rucksack Sumo Deadlifts, and a 1-minute Rucksack Overhead Hold. There’s no designated rest here, athletes. So, keep moving through all 5 rounds!

    Keep it up brother. Though I didn’t do this WOD, I did do burpees then bench, row, and deadlift. It’s good just to know others are getting after it.
    For patriots, if you can’t get after it, what are you doing to build your network? Fighters are 10-20% the rest is support. There is great honor in being the quiet 80-90 percent.

      Sounds like a damn good workout to me!

    Had no idea what I have been doing was called a Sumo Deadlift – just been doing it without a name.

      There you go! Sumos are good, and in my experience you can do more weight in sumo compared to standard.
