WOD – Fri, Oct 3

Intent

Does this look and feel like last week? It should. With a reduction in reps per round and overall work time, it is a chance to improve upon what you accomplished last week. The goal is to come out of these next couple weeks better at bar muscle ups, and more confident with them under fatigue. Gymnastics progressions to improve bar muscle ups! How many people can we help get their first ever? Or perhaps their first sets strung together? We mix modals again today, similar to a fast cyclical triplet that is Open style. Scale so that you can move from movement to movement without a ton of big stoppage. The DB load should feel challenging today but still be cyclical with quick singles if not touch and go.
