Once in a while we really have to push the limits of our skills. Today is a good day for that. Don’t be intimated, just look at one movement at a time and work with the coach to figure out the best way to scale for your ability.

Alternating EMOM for 12 Minutes a) 10M Handstand Walk b) 1 Legless rope climb c) 5 x Bar Muscle Ups Conditioning In Teams of 2: Alternating Rounds for 10 minutes Row 250M or 200M Run 10 Clean and Jerks (135/95)
