WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

How quickly can you recover between pieces? Well, today, we’re going to find out. If you’ve been focusing on recovery outside of the gym, and workouts that involve barbell cycling, then you’ll do great. If not, this may be a shock to the system.

Barbell cycling is unique to CrossFit and comes up time and time again in competitions such as the Open. 1 minute isn’t a long time, so to establish what pace you need to go at (and avoid redlining), practice one round to time yourself and work out how many rounds you’ll do in 3 minutes. That will give you an idea of how fast you need to go to complete all 5 cycles.
