3 Rounds

Thread the Needle

Pigeon Stretch

Iron Crosses

Straight Arm Bicep/Shoulder Stretch on Rig

Lat Stretch on Rig

Calf Stretch on Rig

Skill Work

5 minute coaching block to review the levels and what movement each level is doing

EMOM 5: skill work

Level 1: Does not yet have the strength to do a pull-up, strengthening the muscles needed for pull-ups will be the most beneficial thing for this group, there is not a drill in the world that will be beneficial if they do not have the strength required for a pull-up

  • 8 Double DB Curls

Level 2: Those that can do 9 or less unbroken kipping/butterfly pull-ups, this will help them warm-up for the workout and their efficiency in the workout

  • Kipping: Kip swing to multiple pull-ups (no more than 3, VIDEO)

  • Butterfly: Reverse Bicycle Pulls (VIDEO)

Level 3: Can do 10+ unbroken kipping/butterfly pull-ups, this will serve as a good warm-up for the workout

  • 2 Pull-ups + 3 Push-ups + 4 Air Squats

WOD:

“Fools Rush In”

AMRAP 25

5 Pull-ups

5 Push-ups

5 KB Goblet Squats @53/35

400m Run

*add 5 reps each round on pull-ups, push-ups and squats

SCORE: Reps (run counts as 8 reps, 1 rep for every 50m)

*see chart to help with total reps

PACE GOAL: Breathe, move, enjoy fitness

FEEL:

  • Deep Burn

  • For the rounds of 5,10 and 15 it will seem like a lot of running, that will change in the next round

  • As the you get into the round of 20 the muscle fatigue will set in begin to cause you to break up the reps multiple times

  • Try to find a rep scheme within each movement that allows quality reps and short rest

STRATEGY:

  • The title is very fitting for this format…it is easy in an ascending rep workout to come out way too hot and then fall off bad…don’t be a fool and rush in :)

  • Once you get past the round of 10 I would break up the reps earlier than you think to try and maintain a good pace throughout

  • Breathe and move on the run, this should be an active recovery pace. Your muscles will need the break

WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS:

  • I would stick with a run even if it needs to be a 300-400yd shuttle. Row, Ski or Bike will significantly increase the muscle fatigue for the pull-ups, push-ups and squats

SCALED FORMAT CHANGE:

  • Break up the pull-ups, push-ups and squats however you want each round

  • For example: in the round of 15 you could do 3 rounds of 5 reps each then the run

  • This can allow more people to do the Rx movements for the duration of the workout and will help them build these skills faster then going to a scaling/modification option and keeping the rep scheme

PARTNER OPTION:

  • Change the reps for pull-ups, push-ups and squats to 6 and increase by 6, split reps as needed with parnter

  • 400m Run can be split as well

BEGINNER: Alt. EMOM 24: M1: 10 Ring Rows, M2: 10 Knees or Hands Elevated Push-ups, M3: 10 Air Squats, M4: 100m Run

SCALED: Jumping Pull-ups, Knees or Hands Elevated Push-ups, 35/26 and/or scaled format option listed in notes

Rx+: 70/53
