Rowing WOD 1/2/13:
5 Rounds For Time
250m Row, 15 Air Squats, 10 Push Ups, 5 Pull Ups
It’s official! We have just over a month until CRASH-B’s. By now you should have tested your 2k a couple of times and know what part of your game plan you need to focus on. Do you need better focus through the body of the race? Do you need to work on breathing and settling early on so you don’t fly and die? Or, do you need to be more aggressive and work on pushing it at the end of the race? In each 250m interval be disciplined and try to execute as if you were in the middle of a 2k. Each day from here on out is an opportunity to build your confidence and improve your race plan.
Today’s Rowing WOD is a chance to get in that mind-set and work on some solid body weight conditioning for WOD’s like “Cindy”. The combination of short rowing intervals and body weight movements should allow you to push the intensity and deal with staying mentally tough as the pain sets in. Be efficient and get full range of motion. Hip crease below the knee and hips all the way open at the top of the squat. Chest to the deck and elbows extended at the top of the push up. Chin over the bar and elbows extended at the bottom of the pull up. Be honest and clean with all of your reps and get a solid day of training in.

Nice Larry! Way to get after it!
Have to admit, I was pissed when the 10 min mark passed.
Thought it was doable, until I learned how bad pull-ups are when you’re gassed.

I hear you Matt, solid work! Pull-ups and push-ups are great bodyweight movements to work on. Nice!
