WOD – Mon, Aug 25

Intent

Today we work HSPU strength through increased range of motion. Then hit a mixed dumbbell triplet that burns shoulders and legs. The goal is to start fast and stay fast through the movements. It should elicit a high level of breathing and the burn should slow you down as you go. The loading of the weight should not be the limiter today!
