Scaling Up While Leveling Up
We’re in the new cycle and looking to level up your jumping – as well as your capacity to handle larger loads safely at high speed. That means you’re going to be seeing heavier barbells and KBs in WODs, and a real emphasis on cycling your explosive hip action.
While we work on leveling up your jumping, we’re also going to give you options to scale up in other ways as well. Today the WOD comes first with some heavy load on the hip opening and wall burpees to get your shoulders prepped for the push press. If you’re already competent at Handstand Pushups (or have just leveled-up to them), this is a great day to scale up and try for RX+ with HSPU instead of Wall Burpees – don’t be surprised if your coach suggests it, and don’t be afraid to ask if we don’t!
