Daily WOD 3/18/13

So far, I love Mondays and Fridays at the box.

I love Mondays, because we always seem to do squat work.  My lower body is my biggest problem area, so I'll do squats up until the day I die :-)

I love Fridays, because they are always "chipper" WOD's.  A.K.A hard as sh*t workouts that last forever and don't normally have much of a break (if any).  Yes, I love those types of workouts.  Remember, I played soccer growing up and have been running ever since; therefore, I love the endurance workouts.

Even though today is Monday (my favorite squat work), the 3rd component of our workout (the metcon) is raising my eyebrows a bit.  Check out the whole workout below.


Today's WOD:

Strength Work:

25 minutes - Front Squat
10 @ 70%
6 @ 80%
max @ 85%
max @ 90%
5 singles @ 95%

Metcon:

10 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)
10 toes to bar
10 hand-release push ups

Rest 2 minutes; then,

Reps for time
50 kettle bell swings
50 burpees
50 kettle bell swings



Yikes!

    1. Hey! If you are asking about a recommendation for scaling toes-to-bar when you do not have access to a bar, I'd suggest just doing crossfit sit-ups. Lay down on the ground and place your feet together forming a V-position, then perform a sit-up and try and touch beyond your feet. If you cannot quite reach beyond your feet, just touch your ankles. Complete various repetitions of these sit-ups and you will certainly feel it working your abdominals :-)
