WOD – Fri, Sep 5

Intent

Strict pulling strength carries into mixed grip and overhead cycling with sweet spot conditioning. We love the 8-15 minute window of conditioning because we know it provides the best results, as long as you are pushing yourself. The same reason this workout looks overly simple to many and overly scary for those with enough experience is exactly why it is what we need.
