WODprep Strategy Top Tips

Warm-up (5-7 minutes): Today is all about our gymnastics. We’ll want to prime our shoulders and upper back with some shoulder rolls, scapular pull-ups, and some banded lat pull-downs. Once we’re warm, incorporate some drills to prime for the work we have today.

Stimulus: Building Gymnastics density.   

Strategy: Today is a great day to focus on building quality gymnastics. If you are new to the bar muscle ups or pull-ups, make them the day’s focus. If you feel proficient in either or both of these two movements, aim for unbroken sets, and find a pace that will allow you to push the pace on each round. 

  • Bar Muscle Ups: These are going to get grippy, so make sure you pick sets that you can maintain. Keep a tight kip as you raise to get your hips to the bar, and turnover to your catch position. Use press up to finish your rep. 
  • Chin-over-the-Bar Pull-Up: How you approach the pull-ups should be consistent with your progress with the movement. If you are still building the strength, we recommend a strict pull-up, or banded pull-up / box assist. If you have kipping pull-ups, then build a range that will allow you to get good movement there! If you are learning the butterfly, today could be a good day to get some practice under some fatigue.
