Athlete Notes:
We’ve got a challenging, but fun, conditioning session today! Please view each workout as its own event; so push the pace on each.

DL/MU – The deadlifts are at a moderate weight but most of you who pull well should be able to cycle through the 14 reps fairly comfortably. Are you someone who does better doing bigger sets because you can use the speed on the descent to your advantage? Or are you someone who does better with smaller sets where you can drop the bar from the top? If you don’t know which technique you like best then use today to figure it out. Please adjust the weight if this is more than 70% of your 1-RM. Each athlete must assess how comfortable they are with muscle-ups, but we’d like to see people taking a little more risk and aiming for big sets on their muscle-ups today.

BBJO/WB – The goal is to keep your wall ball shots unbroken!! They don’t need to be blazing fast, but work to keep them unbroken. Relax the shoulders a bit and focus on a strong down/up cadence. Stick with a smooth transition into your box-facing burpee box jump-overs and keep these at a steady pace. Smooth is fast here. This will hurt going unbroken but embrace it!

Rope Climbs – Please check out this article to ensure you are clamping well for your climbs. With higher rep rope climbs you will need to ensure your feet are clamped securely so that you can ‘rest’ your arms mid climb.
