Recovery Day
A.
Mobility and Maintenance
* Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
* Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
* Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.
B.
Nutrition Preparation
* Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.
C.
Mental Restoration
* Different for everyone – could be meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.
I’m curious as the performance blog puts up a workout six days a week?? We only have Sunday to recover or should we take a Wednesday or a Thursday off?
Make up work…
Dead stop front squat up to 200 felt better still not a strong movement for me
21/18/15/12 7/6/5/4 thruster mu went 6:43 rx improvement from like 7:16?!
100 du/25 s2oh 1:23/1:34 last time was a disaster and thy were like 2:20
7 min of burpees to target 126
Did all of this within 45 minutes shoulder burner but loved it
Well that is a pretty solid improvement!!
Thanks! I’m finally feeling good again since that month off. Just in time for the open!!:-D
I find that if I don’t do much besides ROMWOD on Sunday’s I struggle falling asleep Sunday nights. Is there anything you recommend I do on Sunday’s to help me get a good nights sleep without effecting the weeks training?
I work on my weaknesses or I take a rest day to test my limit on certain movements. Example Max reps of KBS, so I know during a wod that involves them, how far I can go unbroken.
This is just my suggestion. It works for me.
Not a bad idea, thanks for sharing Abel!
No TV or cell phone, anything that is artificially lighted besides maybe some indoor lights before you go to bed. Give it about an hour or two of that. I believe CJ talks about this topic in some of his lectures.
Thanks Hunter, i’ll give that a shot.
