WOD: Tuesday 250805
• Coaching Brief & Class Overview
Today opens with a gymnastics test focused on strict pulling capacity and ring row endurance, giving athletes a chance to benchmark upper-body pulling strength before moving into a high-output aerobic grind. Warm-up flow includes rowing, hinge pattern development, and shoulder activation to prime the pulling and kettlebell patterns. In the workout, “Samsonite… I Was Way Off!”, athletes will tackle two 10:00 windows of moderate-volume rowing, burpees, and kettlebell swings. The goal is consistent pacing across both sets while navigating grip fatigue and aerobic demand. Cue athletes to approach the burpees with a steady rhythm and aim for unbroken or intelligently broken sets on the swings to protect their ability to push the closing row. Our optional accessory work targets back, biceps, and posterior chain pulling strength.
