WOD – Fri, Jan 16

Intent

(0-5)

Today we spend some time refining the skills of rope climbing. Why, you may ask? Well, you will need to climb a rope if the zombie apocalypse occurs and you need to reach a safe house. Kidding aside, it is a tremendous skill to learn and directly increases pulling stamina, grip strength and trunk conditioning (core). Then we get to a “burner”. The conditioning today will mimic a stimulus you felt earlier this week with the ergs and air squats, but this one is different. After quickly running and lunging you will be forced to sit with the discomfort of the accumulated fatigue on the wall, and not for a rest. The goal is to be able to accumulate 1:00 of a high quality wall sit with no hands on legs, shoulders back against the wall and hip crease below the top of the knee. If you need to rest, which you will, your goal is to accumulate the 1:00 prior to advancing into the next round.
