How do you game your WODs?  When attacking a 2k row a good way to game it is to think of 4 different races in your head.  Each one is a fresh start to hold your ideal split, stick to a stroke rating, refocus and fight.  Today’s Rowing WOD is all about that mentality.  Before going into it be sure to warmup your deadlift and do a few bursts on the erg at the split you aim to hold for each piece.

Drive through the heels!

Drive through the heels!

Think of each set of deadlifts as a power 10 to walk through your opponents.  Drive those heels down, make that boat feel light, and crush them!
