2018 has come and gone! From now until the open, we are going to focus on aerobic capacity, overhead strength/mobility, and our clean and jerk. Our goal, as always is to improve both strength and endurance. You’ll see strict pullups a lot more often, because a lot of you want them, they are good for all us, and they tend to fix a lot of other things. You’ll see a ton of tempo work as well as single arm/leg movements. These create balance as well as reinforce good movement. Regarding our clean and jerk, we need to be able to lift with our heart rate elevated. Few things create more bang for your buck than a barbell complex.
Monday

Strict pullups help stabilize the shoulder and carry over to lots of other movements so expect them more often. If you need to break up the deadlifts, its ok, but not more than 2 sets for rounds 1 and 2. We want you to hit the bike/row at 90% effort, move well during the deadlifts, and full send on the burpees!
Wednesday

32×1
100 DU

Tempo movements not only build strength in the weak points of the lift, but they train coordination. Moving slowly and holding positions develop control and reinforce good movement patterns. For this wod, go get it! Scale the thrusters so they are unbroken!
