*Fall/Winter Holiday Schedule HERE WOD: 1) Every 4:00 x 10 sets: Odd – 300m Run + 5-10 Strict Pull-ups + 5 Bench Press Even – 300m Run + 12 Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls + 12 Shoulder-to-Overhead 65/45 PLEASE scale as needed. The goal for this should be repeatable efforts. We shouldn’t see your first Even round take 2:30, and your last take 3:50. Scale appropriately so you can maintain and hit with the same intensity each round. Pick a quantity of Pull-ups you can complete unbroken each set, use a band if needed. Build your Bench Press weight as deemed fit. Extra Work: 2) Rope Climb: 10 minutes Practice Work on any facet of a Rope Climb. For results post detailed weights, reps, times, thoughts, etc. for all work completed HERE
