WOD: 1) 20 minutes EMOTM: Odd, Toes-to-bar, Even, Handstand Push-ups For the Toes-to-bar keep the reps low, think about half of what you would normally do (not more than 6 reps for someone who is good at them), you’ll see them again Wednesday. Goal is to practice speed and turnover on the…

WOD: 1) “Open 14.3”- 8 minute AMRAP: 10 Deadlifts 135/95 15 Box Jumps 24/20 15 Deadlifts 185/135 15 Box Jumps 24/20 20 Deadlifts 225/155 15 Box Jumps 24/20 25 Deadlifts 275/185 15 Box Jumps 24/20 30 Deadlifts 315/205 15 Box Jumps 24/20 35 Deadlifts 365/225 15 Box Jumps 24/20 Get as far as you can in 8 minutes. Think about your strategy for this workout, how you will load plates, what combination of plates, etc. I would absolutely recommend if you’re not stellar at box jumps than you should step-up. They will keep your heart rate down, allow you to recover more, and keep no reps out of the question. For results post detailed weights, reps, times, thoughts, etc. for all work completed.
