GHD situps and pullups are accessory movements that not only make us stronger, but help all sorts of other movements. If you want a six pack for summer, or want to dominate at burpees, GHD situps are the way to go. The wod is meant to be a blend of cardio and muscle endurance. Upper body strength is something we all have to work on. Time to bring out the cobras!

This right here is CrossFit. If the wod has a pro wrestler in the name, you can pretty much count on it getting real. This is all about moving loads repeatedly when tired. Scale the weight to a load you can do 1 round without letting go. The intent is for the load to challenge the run. You should be at a weight that you can push it on the run.
