Skills pay the bills. Today we open with 10 quality minutes of “play/ practice” with the jump rope. If you have a pain point like double unders, PRACTICE THEM. Not just during the time we have today, bust out your rope before and or after some classes and get 3 minutes of touching the skill, IT WILL HELP YOU. But today we have time carved out for it so use them and be creative, we haven’t seen triple unders in competition but, YES, they have been on Crossfit.com workouts already, same with single leg double unders, I could see them being programmed at some point. Then we sprint and hold on. The goal for conditioning is a real aggressive burst on the row and bike that leads you to a KB that we want the reps to be Unbroken for! This means a few things. You should select a load that allows you to do sets of 20 throughout, but equally if you pick it up too early or row or bike too fast and can’t go unbroken……then the reps don’t count. Hang on, you can.
