Welcome to a new week… and looking through the regular WOD classes for these next 5 days you will notice that Monday-Thursday WODs are, in general, at a lighter weight and higher rep programming level than usual. This is a lead up to the Open. Not that you will not need the heavy weight strength (believe me, you will!) but we will be working on a GO GO GO mindset this week where you should overcome the urge to move into a comfortable pace. The Open is about pushing yourself, spending lots of time “on the edge,” and holding yourself back from falling off that cliff. We do that a few times this week to practice feeling more ‘comfortable with the uncomfortable.’ Then we finish off the week with some HEAVY… ahhhhh.
Of course if you want more specific prep for the Open, join in on Monday and/or Wednesday nights at 5pm- see WODs below.
