Wickedly Fast Ropes!

The new wickedly fast jump ropes not only bring about increased double unders, but can also leave a mark when the timing is off. (My legs are right there with you.... OUCH!)

WOD

5x3 Shoulder press
5x3 Push press

5x3 Push jerk

This is NOT a timed workout. Take your time, focus on form. Egos should be checked at the door!!!!! Do not move up in weight if your form suffers. This is to build strength along with confidence and reinforcement of proper movements.

The Easter Bunny's Revenge!!!!

Today, the Easter bunny has left his revenge. A chipper WOD! What is a chipper you say? A "Chipper" is a WOD designed to be challenging by its sheer volume and variety of movements. Hence, without a doubt, this requires a great degree of metal determination as well as physical fitness. So what is the best way to approach one of these WODs? Well, the solution is simple. Individuals tend to have to pace themselves through each of the tasks so as to complete all the requirements for that WOD. So, just begin to "chip" away at the volume in small amounts so that you do not reach failure or begin deterioration of the particular movement. Decide on a smaller amount that you can achieve in good form, create small rest periods in between and that will help you to accumulate the reps until the movement is complete. Don't Give Up! Don't say, "I can't". Say I will, get determined, and Start Chipping!
