Lets take a run at an old Open WOD today guys. This is from 2011, and was a great test of lungs, skill and mobility. Split up into 2 heats so that we can use counters and keep true to the culture and standards of the CrossFit Open.
Before you hit the Met-Con, take the first 20 or so minutes of class to hit a heavy-ish set of 5 overhead squats from the rack. Don’t max out, just hit something that will make the met-con feel light. In addition to working up on the overhead squat, work on any skills or progressions that you still need help on for the muscle up.
