WOD – Tue, May 6

Intent

Today builds upon the lower body training/squatting we did last Monday. Our goal is to see some improvements if possible in building from the heavy 10 last week. Then we will do 2 drop sets at slightly lighter loads to build more lower body stamina and resilience. Today’s conditioning isn’t more friendly to the “noodle leg” feeling that may already exist. Lunges must be done with no hands on the legs and must alternate each step. The ab work (GHD or abmat) should be scaled based on the athlete’s exposure to the apparatus or midline shape in general–more than 2:30-3:00 on the GHD to get the work done will go too long. Scale back to keep it below 2:30 whether you are on the GHD, abmat or flat floor.
