WOD Strength Day 2:

WOD Strength Session will be 3 Sets @ 5 Reps Heavy of:

• Power Cleans: 135 lbs. X 5 X 3

WOD Session:

This WOD is 5 rounds for time:

• 10 Dumbbell Hang Power Snatches @ 30 lbs.
• 10 Kettlebell Swings @ 40 lbs.
• 7 Pullups

My time for today’s WOD was 13:24 which I felt was really good for me. I felt strong and think I could have cut this one in under 10 minutes. Oh well, just another PR for the future…

So, everything I’ve read so far about Strength training comes down to this:

The most important thing to making big gains as a novice is to concentrate on the principal compound lifts and making linear advancement with them. By far the best manner to make this is by using Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength. If you seek to save yourself a moment from reading this article, halt right now and spend whatever money you were about to on some phony supplementation and buy Starting Strength from Amazon. In addition to containing an amazing routine, the script goes into tremendous detail about all the leading exercises involved, including the bench press, squat, deadlift, military press, and power clean, providing descriptions in astounding detail and pictures illustrating appropriate form and technique for all the exercises. This script is good for anyone from beginners, to coaches, or just anyone who has not mastered the squat, deadlift, bench press, or military press. Mix the basics with your weekly WOD routines…

I also think that introducing this Strength program to my WOD routines will be key to making quick gains in strength while still maintaining my WOD momentum!
