*Please reduce the load or volume if the set will take you longer than 10 minutes.
You get a long rest between sets so that means we want you pushing hard on both sets as you have plenty of time to recover. 🙂 We’d like to see you smooth and calm on the double-unders so that you can seamlessly move into your bar muscle-ups or chest-to-bar pull-ups. Since you are just doing this once in the set and your next station is a ‘low skill’ station, go into the BMU without a plan *gasp*. Go by feel (you might surprise yourself). Time to push on the BBJO. You don’t need to tackle these at full speed but pick a pace that will allow you to move through without a break. We’ve been doing front rack walking lunges for a few weeks now so you should know where you need to break, if at all. Finish with the double-unders and for those who are confident with this skill go immediately to your rope and plan for unbroken. If you aren’t confident with this skill then take a few seconds to gather yourself along with a few calming breaths so you can get your ‘sea legs’ under you.

Well done!! What movement slowed you up on the second set?
Burpee box jump overs. I was gassed the second set. Usually a good movement for me
