Open WOD 13.4

...Shocking...
     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:
  1. Stay close to the bar and get your hands back on it as soon as you can. 
  2. This WOD is 7 minutes...7 minutes... You can rest at 7:01. 
  3. Don't sprint but don't leave anything in the tank.
  4. 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.
  5. 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)
