3 SETS:
500/400m Row
400m Run
20 Burpees Over Rower
Advice from our coaches:
1. This is a grinder style workout. Push the run and row, but the goal is to find a pace that you can keep over the three rounds.
2. Scale the # of burpees to 15 or 12 if they are taking you more than 2:30 minutes to complete.

| Stuff your coach is reading, hearing, watching, using or buying What To Eat Before and After Workouts You’ve got a killer WOD coming up in a few hours… you’re ready to fuel up… but what should you eat to make sure you get a great workout in? It’s a common question, and RP has an answer for you. EAT UP. Your Turn Over for Ring Muscle Ups Practicing your turn over for ring muscle ups can be tough because it’s rather difficult to practice them all the way up at the top of the rings. Use these progressions to master the turn over and dip out of your muscle ups. RMU CITY. How to Quit Bumping Cleans Forward You’re pulling the barbell from the floor… you open your hips… suddenly the bar is way out in front of you and you are chasing it forward to catch it. What happened? Probably one of these common mistakes you didn’t know you were making! JUMP DON’T BUMP. |
