WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Warm-up (5-7 minutes): Today’s workout is all pressing. Make sure to warm up the arms and shoulders a good amount. Using scapular push-ups, plank shoulder touches, and handstand holds will get you ready today

Stimulus: Pressing Density

Strategy: These rounds will come at you fast, so make sure to break up the movements more than you think you need to. There is a minute of rest, but it will be short-lived. Remember for the WFHSPU, you do not need to wall walk into it unless you want to. For the shoulder to overhead, try to hold onto big sets without going for broke or failing. The ski also does not need to be fast. Save some for the last round. 

  • Wall-facing Handstand Push-ups- Kick up using a cartwheel or wall walk depending on what you are more comfortable with. Make sure to keep a nice tight core, and break the reps to stay steady in the rounds.

  • Ski Erg- Keep a high stroke rate and make sure to use a strong hip hinge so you don’t burn out your arms.
