A constant, and the constantly increasing

If our intent with a WOD is consistent metabolic intensity, you’ll often see a descending rep scheme across rounds. Our workout today does the opposite – we’ll be adding two reps per round of our front squat.

This provides quite a different challenge, one that becomes much more mental as the workout progresses. We know that each time we set the bar down when we haven’t finished all of our front squats means an extra clean we have to do. Who has time for that? Not you, friend. You’ll be busy summoning the guts to hang on to that bar knowing that you’ll have to do so longer than you did last round. And that’s all there is to it. Just hang on a little longer.
