Monday Open Prep

Team!

Here we go again into another great week of training. This will likely be one of the hardest days of training we've had in a while... essentially every component in here is a "race day" challenge!

Monday and Tuesday's focus is to expose you to some heavier weights, pullups, and lighter combos that are likely to show up in this year's Open.

Make sure that you are especially working hard on the thrusters - you should really be trying to push the weight there as much as possible to maintain/gain strength. Scale the pullups in the skill to be challenging, and don't be afraid to mix skills like ctb and regular pullups together if sticking with one is too much.

The WOD is made up of short intervals in which your goal should be to go at faster than race pace... while still maintaining smoothness. If you can execute a high density of reps while keeping extra movement and tension to a minimum, you've got it made!

Rest outside the gym without your mask to recover some oxygen, then get back in and get after it. We won't have the masks on forever, and likely not at all during the Open.

Stay strong!
