twice through
If you analyze any set of WODs that happen here and do a little math, you’ll see that there’s a range of “total reps” that will show up in any one workout. If weights are heavier and/or the WOD is meant to be shorter, there will be less total reps. When the weights are light and/or the WOD is long, you’ll see a higher total.
A different element we then play with is how those reps are broken up. When we have smaller sets of any one movement at a time we’re (generally) switch the movement patterns we’re using enough to hit our metabolic threshold before we hit muscular failure. This can be a good thing.
There’s something very different feeling about doing less sets of more reps. The struggle becomes a different kind of mental, especially when it’s just twice through. You get through the first round of a lot of reps of a lot of things, and then you have to do it all again. Physically challenging, for sure but it can really be mentally draining. Stick with it, knowing that you did it before and you can and will do it again. As usual, it’s all in our head.
