WOD – Thu, Jan 29

Intent

(0-5):

Today’s strength work is based on 2 things: go heavy and still adhere to the tempo prescription. The value in the controlled speeds and pauses is to aid in tendon strengthening and yes, it makes the reps harder but with less load. Tempo work builds strength and durability. In today’s conditioning, the focus is on barbell cycling quality and breathing control to keep moving. The weight you choose should seem moderate but not heavy. You should be able to execute a full complex without considering dropping the barbell. Fast movers and accurate double unders will allow for rounds to be accomplished under 1:00. Scale today in order to start close to that stimulus.
