WOD – Wed, Apr 1

Intent

(0-5)
Today is a bit of midline madness. If you trained yesterday, you may still be feeling some of the overlooked fatigue of the abs from the candlesticks, but during this session today you won’t be able to ignore it for long. The Turkish get up is an amazing move for building self awarness, shoulder stability and stamina but it must be done with control. Take specific attention to detail as coaches layout the instruction of the movement and do not ignore hitting all the proper position during the “for time” part, just to move faster. We want you to push the tempo, yes, but quality is what will allow you to get the most from today’s session. The V-Up’s are hard, but the TGU make them harder due to the demand on the midline. Break early and often and dial in the quality form. If you are scaling today, then have clear expectations for each rep so you don’t just allow yourself to make them easier or not go as high as the workout advances.
