Similar but Different

One beautiful thing about CrossFit is the constant variation. Even with a fairly limited number of “fundamental movements”, we can mix and match them to create entirely new experiences that prevent getting accustomed to a specific stimulus and continue to push our bodies to adapt for ever greater general physical preparedness.

Today’s a great example of that. The DBs are the same as what we used last week, and the cleans are similar to the clean&jerks we used them for. The 400m run paired with a longish couplet is the same format as the Monday workout from last week, too. But combined in a new way, with a rope climb thrown in, and this will feel like an all-new challenge. Which it is.

So get your long socks and running shoes ready! (Except for Jon, who always goes barefoot.) This will be a beast of a WOD.

WOD:

AMRAP 20
4 Rope Climbs
16 DB Squat Cleans (40/25)
Run 400m
