So today is all about getting more comfortable under a heavy barbell. The warm-up and strength are going to be 100% devoted to dialing in perfect movement and building to something that will provoke the correct stimulus in the WOD. The weight is going to be super heavy for most. We are talking about completing 16 of these in sets of 4, so percentages could be close to 85 or 90%, depending on the athlete. So determining that perfect weight is the top priority,
Box jumps are higher as well, and the common question is “is it better to jump on a lower box or step up on a higher one?” which is a simple answer, jumping always wins. BUT, stepping up is Rx with the box jump, so you don’t have to push it if you uncomfortable jumping.
