WOD – Thu, Jan 9

Intent

Today’s session is a big upper body challenge! We start with 5 working sets of bench press and bent over row, the more of a challenge that each of these sets present the better the results will be. Then we advance to a challenge for your chest, triceps and midline! Focusing on the quality of the push up is big here, it is better to reduce the number you do each set than to find yourself worming up and down from the ground not building the same strength in the arms or the abs. Keep the quality of a good plank and remember this time block is accumulated not just having to be unbroken.
