Only about 7 people at class today. Not quite as humid today but still pretty warm. I got a decent spot where I could feel the fan a lot! Worked better 🙂
“Compassionate people are geniuses in the art of living. More necessary to the dignity, security, and joy of humanity than the discoverers of knowledge”. – Albert Einstein

TIPS
Toes-to-bar Progression (A) (~4:00) Ok – me and the bar….I don’t think I’ll ever get any of this bar stuff! Maybe someday but it will definitely be a LONG time! I can’t figure out how to pull down with my arms, how to really swing and then pull down with the arms. I was sure my arms are much stronger but can’t figure out why I can’t do this stuff?? I did knee raises but they aren’t very good.

COMPLETE
WORKOUT (~12:00)
For time:
30 – 20 – 10
Toes to bar – toes to rig post (all 3 rounds)
Back squats (135lbs/95lbs) – 55# (2 rounds)
*20cal/16cal Row after each round – 16cal bike (2 rounds)
Notes This workout is a trunk and lower body blaster that utilizes a descending rep scheme to promote intensity. The toes to bar volume is challenging and short breaks may be needed on each round.
The back squat load is intended to allow for reps to be completed unbroken or with one short rest break.
The best strategy for the row may be to complete the first 2 rounds at a moderate pace while the last effort can be treated as a sprint to the finish.
Faster times for this workout may be under 7:00-8:00 while the intent is for all to be complete in under ~12:00.
If limited on rowers, potential workout modifications are: 1) Use any piece of cardio equipment (rower, bike, SkiERG, etc.) 2) Perform 60cal/48cal at the beginning of the workout and then have athletes rotate to the rowers.
