Counting down

Nick | 10/19/2014 | 1

Here’s another fun couplet where the more technical and fatiguing movement (at least from a muscular endurance standpoint) descends in reps across while the sprint distance remains the same across. Note there are 36 total reps of handstand push-ups, so use that to gauge how difficult of a scale to choose.

It’s getting cooler and darker out, so we brought the running inside, but that doesn’t make it any less effective. In fact, if we truly approach these sprints as advertised we can get more out of them then we might doing several longer runs. But to do this, we have to actively chose to push harder than we might be tempted to each time we get to them. Sprint like it means something, and it will.

STR:
Front Squat
5-5-5-5-5

WOD:
8 to 1 HSPU
end each round of HSPU with 100′ shuttle sprint
