1000m Row
50 Empty Bar Thrusters
30 Pull Ups
WODprep Strategy Top Tips:
Rowing (1000m):
The rowing portion of Jackie is your opportunity to set the pace for the workout. Since it’s a relatively long row, you’ll want to find a sustainable pace that allows you to transition into the thrusters without feeling too fatigued. Here’s a strategy for the row:
- Start with a strong and powerful pull to get the flywheel moving, then settle into a consistent rhythm.
- Aim to maintain a stroke rate of around 24-28 strokes per minute.
- Focus on breathing and stay relaxed to avoid burning out.
- Try to finish the 1000m row in around 3-4 minutes, depending on your fitness level.
Empty Bar Thrusters (50 reps):
After the row, it’s time for the thrusters. These are light but can become taxing, especially after the row. Here’s how to approach the thrusters:
- Break the thrusters into manageable sets from the beginning to avoid early fatigue. A good approach could be 10 sets of 5 reps, resting briefly between sets.
- Keep a tight core and use your hips and legs to drive the barbell overhead.
- Maintain a steady pace and avoid going to failure. Consistency is key.
Pull-Ups (30 reps):
The pull-ups will be challenging after the row and thrusters. Here’s how to approach the pull-ups:
- If you’re proficient in kipping, use it to conserve energy. If not, use strict pull-ups, but maintain a steady rhythm.
- Break the pull-ups into manageable sets, aiming for small, consistent sets with short rests in between.
- Focus on your breathing and avoid burning out early.
