Scaling:
All athletes can attempt relatively heavy thrusters. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, and attempt a PR. Newer athletes can use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement.
After each row, perform 2 double-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 double-unders before starting the next round.
Post time and number of pulls each round to comments.
Scaling:
This workout encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 1 double-under for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 40 double-unders before starting the next round.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 2 single-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 single-unders before starting the next round.
