WOD – Fri, Apr 18

Intent

Today we get after some upper body strength and conditioning and incorporate the legs by means of monostructural work (aka box jumps). Our goal with today’s strength work is to keep it focused on our final set. The previous sets are simply primers as we build to a heavy 3. This will allow you to feel a heavy load and perhaps a new 3rm, but also keep you fresh enough for some high intensity in the conditioning to follow. The dumbbell weight for the push press in the conditioning should be able to go unbroken for the prescribed reps.

For the Next 28 days you will see MURPH PREP added as a finisher to your daily WOD, this is a 100% optional! The goal is to get your body ready for a long duration, high volume (pull-up, push-up, squat) workout.
