Complete the Strength & Conditioning Warmup for 3 rounds BEFORE class begins.  During the skill segment, perform 3 sets of Deadhang pullups. Determine the number of reps for each round by taking 60% of your 1 set max.  Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.  Follow this progression scale if you don’t have Deadhang Pullups:  Barbell inverted rows – Ring rows – Barbell/ring rows with weighted vest/chains – Single-arm ring rows – Pullups.

For the strength segment, for the Close Grip Bench Press follow the reps and % progression up to 4 singles at 90% 1RM.  You can work quickly through the warmups, but rest roughly 3-4 minutes between the 3 work sets.  These are going to be very heavy.  Your grip should be with index finger just on the edge of the inside knurling.  Work with at least 1-2 other people on your bench.

For the conditioning workout, you will row 2K for time.  Watch the video below and take a few minutes to work on your technique before taking on this beast of a conditioning test.

ENDURANCE WORKOUT tonight at 6pm!
