Foam Roll/Trigger/Warm-up/Mobilise/Activate

 

RX WOD

1) Practice (15 min) HS opposite shoulder taps

Score = Max Reps

Scaling – HS Hold at Wall with Weight Transfers; Further Scaling – see LITE Wod

 

Then…

 

2) CrossFit HQ WOD – 180131

For time:
30 overhead walking lunges
30 knees-to-elbows
30 sit-ups
30-cal. row
30 sit-ups
30 knees-to-elbows
30 overhead walking lunges

Men: Lunge with 45-lb. plate (20kg)
Women: Lunge with 25-lb. plate (10kg)

Scaling
This is a quick down-and-back chipper. Reduce the reps and pick movements so you can complete each exercise in no more than 2-3 sets. These exercises will have a compounding effect on each other, particularly on your midline. You do each exercise except the row only twice, so fight for large sets and transition between movements quickly.

TC = 17 min
