“This and That”

In two person teams, perform as many reps as possible in each of 4 rounds.  Each round consists of six minutes of two exercises…one partner does “this” while the other does “that.”  Teams may switch between “this” and “that” at any time during the round unless otherwise prescribed (row). 

6 minutes per round.  Rest exactly 2 minutes between rounds. (30 mins total WOD time)

Round 1
This:  500m Rows (Athlete 1 rows 500m, then switch. Switch as many times as time permits.)
That:  Wall Ball (20/14)

Round 2
This:  Ground to Over Head (135/95)
That:  Burpee Box Jumps (24/20)

Round 3
This:  Double Unders
That:  Handstand Push ups

Round 4
This:  Pull Ups
That:  Push Ups

Total score is total team reps of all exercises.  For rowing, score 1 point for every 50m rowed (partial under 50m does not count).


Post score to comments.


Coach's Notes. 
Normal Friday start times of 0545 and 0615-ish. Todd is planning a 1300 afternoon start. A lot of moving parts to this one. Form up early to warm up, ID your partner and walk/talk through the stations.

Pretty straightforward, grab a whiteboard to keep track of reps and get motivated! Post any scaling techniques used to comments. Refresher on select movement standards:
  • GTO is just what it sounds like -- barbell travels from the ground to a full overhead position by any means necessary (most likely some variation of a clean & jerk). 
  • Burpee box jumps -- crystal clear explanation in the vid below, worth a watch (~ 1:00).
  • Push-ups -- full ROM...chest to deck, extension at the top.
REMINDER: Tom will be collecting hoodie money this morning (0530-0630) and afternoon (1615-1745). Bring cash ($15.50) and pay up...or place an order if you haven't done so already.
