Scaling:

The 15 high box jumps are meant to be a challenge, particularly after running hard. Choose a box height that is manageable but a little outside your comfort zone. If you can, select a box that allows you to jump instead of performing step-ups to a taller box.

Intermediate Option:

 4 rounds for time of:

15 box jumps

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 210514.

Experienced athletes should work up to a moderately heavy single before starting the working sets and increase the weight for each set. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable, potentially adding reps for more practice.

Beginner Option:

Hang squat snatch 3-3-3-3-3-3 reps

Thursday 221103

5 rounds for time of:

250-m row, sub 0:52♀/0:45♂

50 double-unders, unbroken

If the row takes longer than 0:52/0:45, or if you trip up on your double-unders, redo that exercise before moving back to the other exercise.

Post time to comments.

Compare to 180504.



Scaling:

If you’re unfamiliar with row pacing or a sub 0:52/0:45 time is unrealistic, row 250 meters at max effort in the warm-up, then add a few seconds to that to create your target time for the workout. This workout forces you to row at a near-maximum effort so you can make sure the row counts and you don’t have to repeat the work. Athletes who struggle with double-unders might want to switch to unbroken single-unders or reduce the number of double-unders each round.

Intermediate Option:

5 rounds for time of:

250-m row, sub 0:57♀/0:50♂

100 unbroken single-unders

If the row takes longer than 0:57/0:50, or if you trip up on your single-unders, redo that segment before moving back to the other exercise.

Beginner Option:

3 rounds for time of:

250-m row, sub 1:02 ♀/0:55♂

100 single-unders

If the row takes longer than 1:02/0:55, redo it before moving back to the other exercise.
