SURPRISE!

WOD Brief:

Happy Monday and happy birthday Randi! Today we have quite the doozy, a pairing of the infamous GHD sit ups and squat cleans. Why are GHD sit ups superior to the regular sit up? First, the movement takes the trunk from hyperextension to full flexion, albeit with negligible load. (No crunch can match this range of motion.) Second, the role of the abs in this sit-up is powerful and largely isometric—i.e., they stabilize the torso from undue extension. Following each set of GHD’s we have a descending ladder of moderately heavy squat cleans…let’s find a weight that we can do and move properly, quickly, yet still challenging. Immediately following the chipper we will go directly into our surprise cash-out! Today we are training strength, power, speed, stamina and intensity.
