It was good to go back to doing some ring rows, I haven’t done those in a while since I’ve been able to do band pull-ups. I stuck with normal ring rows and just moved my feet to make it more/less challenging as needed.
Great metcon! I think I finished in just under 16 minutes. Sit-ups and single skips are great, like active rest for me. Chris noticed I was doing weird things with my right leg on box step-ups so lowered the box for me. I need to be more aware of keeping my hips and leg squared up.
Did this yesterday, definitely a burner. One nice thing about the Open was that it makes you do things you might otherwise scale. Box Jumps are a movement I’d often give myself an easier option on (step ups, lower height etc.), so I stuck with 24″ on this one.
Finished 4/5 rounds of DUs unbroken, all situps unbroken, and still barely managed to finish within time cap. Shows how slow and broken the jumps were, but thats why it was important to do them.
