We will be doing a Holiday Wod that may or may not involve competing for the white elephant gifts. Following the workout we will have Mimosas and Cookies…and any other brunchy food you may want to have if you decide to bring a dish to pass.

Warm up

Last session of squats and milk if you are doing it. Replace the front squats with that if you are doing it.

You need to build up to your working weight for each movement, your working weight should be extremely heavy. You should be fearing your next three reps. I think many of us miss the point of this heavy strength. This is where change happens, this is how you get stronger. This should be very uncomfortable. You should be close to missing on the 3rd rep. We will be the judge if you are going heavy enough for your current ability level. Obliviously we are not going to make beginners do 3 rep maxes, we might up the reps, but its still going to be heavy.

Front squat 3-3-3 reps
Push press 3-3-3 reps
Thruster 3-3-3 reps

Scaling
Most Hero WODs are meant to be extremely grueling, arduous and mentally challenging. Many contain a very high volume of reps. Reduce the work to a level that is attainable yet still challenging.
