General Training Notes:
Skill work Tuesday! Just a note that if you don’t have a desire to do pistols then please substitute with weighted box step ups. Use the volume accumulation piece to get ‘touches’ on these movements and to build confidence in them. Then the emom today doesn’t provide any rest so make sure you are approaching this with the correct pace. We don’t want you going out too hot and not able to recover. Smooth is fast for today. You should have at least 10 seconds of rest at each station (ideally more on stations 2 and 4) and view this as 32 minutes of work at a pace that you can sustain for that duration. Please adjust the HS Walk distance and/or muscle-up rep scheme as needed.
