Workout of the Day

FITNESS
A.
10 minute toes-to-bar skill work

Training notes:
Things to work on:
•Strict knees-to-elbows
•Controlling the kip in the shoulders
•Stringing together multiple reps

B. E4min for 5 rounds:
18 DB thrusters
12 ball slams
6 burpee box jumps

Training notes:
•Lateral burpee box jumps are ok.
•Thruster and ball slam weight should be moderate – you should be able to do at least your first few sets unbroken.
•You should be able to finish with at least one minute of rest. If you’re starting to come close to the four minute window, reduce the number of reps you’re doing.
•You can expect to see some attrition on a per round basis here, but you shouldn’t see too much drop off throughout.

•Final bar should be heavy, but not totally unmanageable. Adjust the weights accordingly.
•If you don’t finish one of the rounds in the allotted timecap, you are done.
•Set up plates ahead of time so that you can easily change weights quickly – but don’t set up your plates in a way that is potentially dangerous for yourself or anyone else training around you.
