30 Double-Unders
15 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lbs to 10′)

These should be sprint sets; go as hard as you can. Don’t be afraid to change movement strategies and take some chances to see if there is a way you can become faster in these sets. Please note your times for each set and any reasons for why you experienced time differences between sets.

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 6 minutes:
3-5 Supinated-Grip Bent-Over Rows

Learned this evening that poly dac ropes get extremely slick when it’s humid out. No amount of chalk kept me from slipping when trying to climb legless. I actually burned all my fingertips the first round. Stupid. Second round I tried gloves then gave up and switched to legs. ?

Did Wednesday’s fun yesterday. First primary strength with heavy lunges and sled/run combo and then primary conditioning. I was surprised that after all the legs, I still ran the first mile close to 7 min (my best ever is 7 min and I ran the first mile 7:10) Times were 10:50/7:15/5;50.155 back squat, 125 front and 105 overhead. Overhead squats were a breeze, the rest sucked. Subbed one minute marching on the wall for hsw. When am I going to be able to walk on my hands!!!!? Today’s workout: Primary strength: A. Snatch complex up to 115 lbs B. Snatches… Read more »

Hard to say without video but a lot will just be down to volume accumulation. Make sure you’re doing the gymnastic skill work we post on them.

*used legs on the last 6. I didn’t trust my body, it was feeling like it was going to fail on the legless. I wish I would have done 3 legless 3 with legs each set to see if I could be consistent. My arms were shaking holding on the squat snatches so I thought it would be better to go with legs

Conditioning, was hoping this would go better, rope clombs are like handstand walks, if I don’t do them for awhile they go away, but they come back real fast with a little practice: A: 6:43 – little rower malfunction on second row. Rows: 2:04, 2:05 B: 5:33 – 40 Cals in 3:30, hang snatches in 8-6-6 – really wanted these in two sets. C: 8:20 – kinda demoralizing but tried to finish strong. Had to take really long breaks on the legless because I started to take big kips at the top towards the end. Rows were 2:14/2:15. Whoop says… Read more »
