Featured Image – In shot, Coach Deane pushing the boundaries on some handstand push-ups. CrossFit is all about getting comfortable being uncomfortable! We continuously put ourselves under progressively more challenging situations that then forces the body to adapt over time to gain the results you desire! The key is in the prescription of exercise…Our CrossFit Algoa coaches are highly skilled in adapting the prescribed WOD to suite your current level of fitness, to impose the correct training stimulus!

Scaling
If you’re unfamiliar with row pacing or a sub-0:45 time is unrealistic, row 250 meters at max effort in the warm-up, then add a few seconds to that to create your target time for the workout. This workout forces you to row at a near-maximum effort or it won’t count and you’ll have to repeat the work. Athletes who struggle with double-unders might want to switch to unbroken single-unders or reduce the number of double-unders each round.

Intermediate Option
5 rounds for time of:
1 sub-0:48 250-m row (SUB – 25 SDHP 20kg/13kg)
100 unbroken single-unders

If the row takes longer than 48 seconds, or if you trip up on your single-unders, redo that segment before moving back to the other exercise (count a segment as 10 unbroken DU’s).

Beginner Option
3 rounds for time of:
1 sub-0:55 250-m row (SUB – 25 SDHP 16kg/10kg)
100 single-unders

If the row takes longer than 55 seconds, redo it before moving back to the other exercise.

TC = 18 min

Score = Time/TC plus 1 sec/rep missed
