WOD – Fri, Feb 7

Intent

Today we have a high skill heavy loaded workout. We will prime the deadlift before the workout in order to make executive decisions on the weight selections as the rounds proceed. We don’t want to over fatigue the body prior to today’s workout, so remember we are just allowing ourselves to understand what our potential is for the final 9 deadlifts and to build slightly beyond that in today’s primer. We will spend adequate time practicing ring muscle ups today. The goal is to actually help people progress in the ring muscle ups, and perhaps help people get their first ring muscle up or refine the skill of linking their first muscle ups together. Find a skill that is challenging for the scaling option of today’s ring muscle up for you individually–the goal is not to do the same scale every time the ring muscle up presents itself, but find new ways to challenge yourself and always be sure the scale will progress your capacity in that specific skill in the long run. Have fun, go fast, take chances!
