WOD: Thursday 25th October

October 24, 2018

A) Back squat 3,3,3,3,3,3

B) 50-40-30-20-10 double unders
25-20-15-10-5 toes to bar

The focus today is the back squat, building weight with each set. After that we’ll do some skill work on double unders and toes to bar.

Scaling:
Double unders – if you have big set of double unders yet, either reduce the volume or do double the number of single skips
Toes to bar – scale to knees to elbows if you can’t link toes to bar. If you don’t want to hang, double the number and do sit ups instead

Top tip:
Take pleanty of rest between the squats, 2-3 minutes.
