Score

  • Total time it takes you to complete. Be sure you comment in your score box how you chose to break the workout up.

Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Fun way to finish the day!!!
  • Box Jump Over – be smart. There is no need to jump down from the box here. Smooth jump up, step off and then jump up again. Your Achilles will thank me.
  • Towel Rows or Banded Bent Over Row – aim for bigger sets (sets of 10+ would be ideal here)
    • only complete the RX+ Option of 70 Kipping Pull Up if you are proficient in this movement. This can be a lot of volume in a short amount of time and shouldn’t be done if you have not done in the past.
