The WOD
- YOU MUST HAVE A LONG SOCK/SHIN GUARD IF YOU PLAN TO CLIMB THE ROPE AT ANY HEIGHT. OUR ROPES WILL LEAVE A BURN BEHIND NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE! THOSE WITHOUT PROTECTION WILL NOT BE DOING ROPE CLIMBS.
- We have programmed rope climbs with a longer run - this may confuse you on what shoes to wear if you suffer from running related pain... Option #1 - Change your shoes after you rope climb - Option #2 - Row or Bike instead
- DO NOT CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE ROPE IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITIES. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE WE'VE DONE THEM! EASE IN! COACHES WILL BE STICKLERS ON WHO WILL CLIMB AND WHO WILL NOT CLIMB.
- Ring Rows or Pull-Ups will be substituted for those not climbing the rope
You will perform 3 rope climbs, run, perform 1 more, THEN begin the AMRAP of:Double Under TipsShoulder to Overhead =Push-Press OR Push-JerksPull-Ups& Scalinghttps://youtu.be/2bS9MySipnk
The Finisher
- If a KB is too heavy, please use a Dumbbell instead. The KB adds a bit more instability making it more of a challenge.
- Walk from the building to the gravel in one arm - switch arms - then walk back
- Actively press that shoulder to the sky. No soft elbows.
- Keep your body in one straight line rather than leaning to one side or the other. TIGHT core.
