So we knew this was coming ...right? I mean, using the powers of deductive reasoning, we knew these movements were coming. And I don't want to hear this crap about "Oh, I wish it was heavier" or "This is so unoriginal"...because we knew this was coming. This WOD is all about WILL...and grip. Mostly both.
I watched three very different strategies this evening (Speal, Holmberg, and Foucher) and picked up a few points here and there. I will have more to post but here is the gist:
- Stay close to the bar and get your hands back on it as soon as you can.
- This WOD is 7 minutes...7 minutes... You can rest at 7:01.
- Don't sprint but don't leave anything in the tank.
- Pause for broken record (not "broken record" like what happens to the "World Records" every week during Regionals)...Broken record as in I say it a lot, and on purpose...Manage Your Reps...I say it every week, because it is so important. Stay calm, but move with a quick pace while avoiding that red line.
- This WOD is about "willing" yourself to get more reps. Accepting and embracing the suck, managing reps, and saving your grip.
BHT is gonna destroy this WOD...(Castro-esque mic toss...but like a boss...not like a jerkface)
Did 13.4
ReplyDeleteThen at home tonight I did CG bench - 5@135#, 5@160#, 7@180#. Followed by 3xME Ring Dips of 20, 13, 10.
