Forewarned Is Forearmed

JT Scott | 07/14/2013 | 7

We’re using that Ring Stability we worked on last week and developing it further in conjunction with our pushing strength. Oh, and climbing the ropes again just 10 days after our last adventure. On Friday, July 5 we saw a lot of people get up that rope for the first time ever! It’s amazing what that change in perspective can bring – being on top of the world makes all the difference.

For today’s rope climbs, count on your coaches to give you guidance on how many to work with – and what drills to do to build the strength for getting up that rope.

For the WOD, it’s not just the pushing – it’s the stabilization. (Insert bracing diatribe here.)

Strength:
Rope Climbing

WOD:
AMRAP 15
400m Run
15 Ring Push-ups
15 Box Jumps, 24″

The scaling down order for Ring Push-ups is: elevating the rings, then floor pushups, then pushups to box/bar.

    WOD: 3+300m

    Went slower on the run but hopefully with better form that usual. Cue Nick: brace yourself!

    Rope climbing is fun! I definitely got a little better with my feet today compared to last time, I’m looking forward to doing this some more.

    WOD: 3+7 pushups Rx. Pushups on the rings are tough, it’s good that we’ve concentrated on pushup form recently.

    First successfully rope climb, but fell apart on my 2nd & 3rd attempts.

    WOD: 3 even (ring push-ups, 20″ box jumps)

    Post-class bonus: 1 dead hang pull-up
