We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

what kind of scale options are available? halving the reps, for example?
Ordie says:

@kim – there was discussion of dropping the reps by 10 in each category. I don’t think anyone did that though. I used the biggest, widest band I could find, and it didn’t take long before I was doing the push-ups from my knees but the mandatory 3 minutes rest between rounds really helps a lot believe it or not.
got thru it in 39:45

Agree with Ordie, the rest really helps but…. I needed a much bigger band and ended up on my knees for the pushups. I did not finish and got mercy ruled with the 40 minute cut off (thank goodness). This one was tough…

Besides my torn up hands, I liked this one: 35:28 Rx

5 rounds at half the reps with 2 min rests
20:48
In other news, got to cross off one of my goals! 10 unassisted kipping pull-ups in every round! 🙂

@Mel- BaLLer 🙂
41:24 RXed. Even though I’m still shaking 5 hours later and it made my hands bleed, I liked this one.

29:53 RX. Felt great when this was over, but I’m sore all over today. Babs, you are a cruel one.
Big ups to @StephD for trudging through to the end. You set a precedent that the 5:30 class followed.

Hit the 40 min cutoff with 15 pushups completed in the final round.
Good work on this one everybody, tough mental and physical WOD!
Props to Chris H, less than 30 minutes on this one is crazy!
