WOD – Mon, Jan 26

Intent

(0-5):

This week we kick it off with a CrossFit benchmark! Jackie is memorable if you have ever done it before and for those who haven’t, you’ll soon understand why. The workout is misleading due to the light loads and overall lower reps than a usual “training session”. However, the intensity that can be reached with such a set up is why it is such a valuable stimulus. Pace the row so you can get a big chunk of the thruster reps done right away and as close to unbroken as possible. No shorting the range for the sake of time here, the light load makes that a bit more challenging since it doesn’t force you into a low position each rep. Look up your old times and let’s see how the current fitness compares!
