Rowing CHELSEA

Colin

Today is all about rowing (after some still rings work) and making sure that you can move blazingly fast through the appropriate amount of rounds of CINDY (5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats). Resume rowing as soon as possible. Can you recover on the rower? Can you push the pace and complete more than a 5k?

NANCY

There are two great options for your overhead squat grip-width:

  1. Use the same grip you use for the snatch
  2. Use a grip slightly-closer than (1.). Although it requires more mobility, it’s definitely more stable.
  3. (Bonus) Front squat if the overhead position isn’t stable. You’ll still have to keep a vertical torso to be successful for the volume of reps required today.
