For Quality…

Use this to continue to warm up and tune into your body. Breathe and embrace the one mobility movement. Use the ring rows or pull-ups to warm-up for the conditioning position. Keep the barbell light.

3 Rounds:

45-90s Extended Triangle Pose on each side

5 Strict Pull-Ups or 10 Ring Rows

10 Bent Over Rows

Strength

3 x 8 Dumb bell Incline Bench

Pick a set of dumbbells that are challenging but definitely doable. You may increase load each round as long as you know you will make each lift.

Conditioning

Think of this as a shake out day from this whole week. Move through this at about 50-70% intensity. Use a kettlebell or dumbbell for the goblet squats. Keep the weight light enough to be able to do all sets in each round unbroken.

5 Rounds

200m Jog or Walk

15 Goblet Squats

10 Ring Rows
