HOME WOD – Saturday 29 August 2020
You guys have a great variety of movements for today’s workout. Lots of dynamic and midline work today. The intent is to get you moving quickly when a movement is low in skill, then have you slow down when the movement is high in skill, allowing you to be consistent across the 5 rounds.

Scaling
Pistols: Use a scale that is challenging for you for 5+ reps. Video HERE.
4-point position ankle taps: Scale to shoulder taps, then further to kneeling.
V-ups: Scale to knee bent v-ups, or regular sit-ups
Object toe-taps: Scale the reps to 20 per round, then scale further to a low step up, or object lateral step-overs.
WOD Goal
There are going to be a few movements that slow people down a little for all categories. The pistol, the rows and the triple-unders. Even double-unders for most people can cause some strife. We have taken these into account, allowing up to 15 minutes to complete the workout. Don’t worry too much about speed today, unless this is someone’s first workout for the week. Aim to give you an intense workout. For everyone else, focus should be on quality of movement, challenging your limits in difficult movements, and after that, focus on intensity.
* If people are unable to perform 4-6 reps of the pistols without failing/falling over, help you find an appropriate scale. Same for the ring rows/plank rows.

Alt. plank rows: Scale the reps to 5-7 each side. Then, further scale to a single db bent over row (chainsaw)
DB SDHP: Scale the reps each side to 5-7. Then, further scale to a russian or american swing.
Triple-unders: Scale to 20 double-unders, then to 40 single-unders.
WOD Goal
Last day of the week. Lots of gymnastics and a small bit of loading for the sdhp (rows). We wanted the turnover rate to be fast for each movement, so we have set the reps to 10 for each movement. The aerobic output will still be high, but nothing should really be able to be done at a blistering pace so you are able to maintain consistency across the 5 rounds. We are aiming for a 10-15 minute workout. For those athletes who had your souls crushed yesterday in Kalsu, should use this as an active recovery session if you are wanting to workout.
For the inverted ring rows, the standard is that the body be parallel to the ground. You can achieve this by elevating your feet up onto a box or bench.
We snuck the triple-unders in there to allow people to work on this skill. Spend a little time in the prep piece, and if you can consistently perform 5-10 unbroken, you can perform it in the workout. Otherwise, use the double-under scaling instead.
