WODprep Strategy Top Tips:
Today we’re focusing on increasing your C2B volume and getting some useful practice.
Chest-to-Bar Pull-ups (C2B)
-
Break Them Into Manageable Sets: Instead of attempting a large set and risking early burnout, consider breaking chest-to-bar pull-ups into smaller, more manageable sets. A popular approach is to break them into 4-4 or 5-3 if you can consistently perform chest-to-bar pull-ups.
-
Scale as Necessary: If chest-to-bar pull-ups are a challenging movement for you, it’s essential to scale appropriately. Consider regular pull-ups or assisted pull-ups to ensure you can complete the workout efficiently and maintain good form.
Dumbbell Walking Lunges
-
Choose the Right Weight: Select a dumbbell weight (typically 35/25 lbs) that allows you to perform the lunges with proper form. Avoid going too heavy, as it may lead to compromised technique.
-
Maintain Form: Keep an upright torso and take even steps during your lunges. This ensures you engage the right muscles and minimize the risk of injury.
-
Break into Segments: If necessary, break the lunges into shorter segments, such as 10-10-5ft, to manage fatigue and maintain consistent movement.
Bar Facing Burpees
-
Set a Rhythm: Establish a consistent rhythm for your burpees and maintain it throughout the workout. This rhythm will help you stay on track and avoid unnecessary pauses.
Pacing Over the 20 Minutes
-
First 5 Minutes: In the initial 5 minutes, establish a pace that allows you to complete each round of exercises without excessive fatigue. Find a balance between speed and efficiency.
-
Middle 10 Minutes: During the middle 10 minutes, maintain a steady pace and avoid unnecessary breaks. Consistency is key to preserving your energy for the final push.
-
Last 5 Minutes: In the last 5 minutes, push your limits and go all out, knowing that the finish line is near. Empty the tank and give it your all to finish the workout strong.
