WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Warm-up (10 minutes): We have a good amount of work today, so we’ll want to make sure our midline and shoulder are prepped for a good amount of volume. With the squats, hit some goblet squats and front rack openers to get ready. 

Stimulus: Gymnastic and Squatting Volume 

Strategy: Today should be a training piece to help build our leg endurance along with strict pull-up density. The bike should be about a minute of work. The Front squats should be tough, but unbroken. the strict pull-ups can be broken up, but you shouldn’t fail at any point, so scale to a strict banded pull-up or feet-elevated ring rows if needed

  • Strict Pull-ups- These should be a rep range that you could perform unbroken or in two very quick sets. Box-assisted pull-ups or tough ring rows would be the next scales so we can get right onto the next movement. 

  • Dual Dumbbell Front Squats- These front squats should be a weight that gets nasty toward the later intervals but is still unbroken. Make sure the dumbbells are resting on a good position on the shoulder as your are squatting.
