Athlete Notes:
Nothing like a long chipper to end the week off on the right foot. This workout is going to be a longer one so strap in and get ready. On the first section we’re looking for smooth and consistent on the double unders on both the front end and back end. If you trip, shake the arms out then keep going. After that we’ll move on to toes to bar where we’re looking for you to finish the 50 reps in 6-7 sets or less. Take off on your 400 meter run and try to hit this at an aggressive pace but one that allows you to come back in and go right away on the kettlebell swings. Remember these are overhead today so it’ll be a little more grippy than normal. After you’ve finished those the goal is 3-4 sets on the handstand push-ups. After that we’ve got a fun new skill to mix in, if you want to, that we saw in the crossfit games. The goal here is to just get the work done whether you’re hitting the pull-overs or burpee pull-ups. If you can do more than one rep at a time then try to get the pull-overs done in 2-3 sets without getting too dizzy. After that it’s back up the ladder for 3-4 sets on the handstand push-ups, 1-2 sets on the swings, another 400 meter run, then get the toes to bar done in as few sets as you can. Finish the round off with another 100 smooth and consistent double unders then you get rewarded with a short break to catch your breath. After that rest is up we’ll cut all reps in half and the goal is to keep that split time down to 1/2 of the time it took you to do the first portion even though you’re considerably more fatigued. Use the lesser reps to your advantage and push transitions here. A good goal here is unbroken on all movements. You never know so take a shot and see where your body fails.
