    Complete For Time

    500 Meter Row

    40 Air Squats/Pistols

    30 Burpees

    20 Push Ups/HSPU

    10 Pull Ups/Bar MU

    3,200 Meter Run

    Today’s WOD starts with a sprint distance row.  This row should be about an 85% effort or a pace that will allow you to begin your air squats/pistols as soon as you’re off the rower.  Strive for unbroken reps for the movements in this WOD.  If you have to break, break past the half way point of the movement.  For example, do 22-25 of the 40 squats before you break.

    The run is part of the timed WOD and is meant to be done immediately after you finish the pull ups/bar MU.  For the run, you will run to the stop sign by Bomgaars and back to the garage door and then back out to the stop sign and back.  The first 100 or so meters of the run will be the most difficult as you settle in to a pace that you can sustain for the whole run.  If there is anything left in the tank, push the pace on the last 400 meters of the run.  Time ends when you cross the garage threshold.

    25 Minute EMOM

    Minute 1 = (12/10)(15/12) Cal Row

    Minute 2= 20 Lunges

    Minute 3=12 Kb Swing (53/35)(70/53)

    Minute 4= 10/12 T2B

    Minute 5= 8/10 Power Cleans (135/95)

    Today is meant to be a longer conditioning WOD.  As with any EMOM we do, we are looking for some built in rest after the completion of each movement.  Ideally, we want that rest to be about 15-20 seconds.  If you are close to finishing a movement when we call for a transition, its up to you if you want finish it.  If you miss completing a movement within the minute, you need to finish the remaining reps and sit the rest of that minute out of the EMOM so you can recover.  For the power cleans, pick a weight you can do 8/10 unbroken if fresh.  If you have to break any of the movements (other than the row), we are looking at breaking into two sets max so pick weights and movements accordingly.
