Coach’s Tips on Execution
Pace Wisely: This WOD is a marathon, not a sprint. Maintain 80-85% of your max pace.
Focus on Form: Full range of motion is crucial for pull-ups and push-ups. Scale as needed to achieve this.
Breathe and Move: Sync your breathing with your movements for better efficiency.
Listen to Your Body: If a movement feels overly strenuous, consider scaling options to maintain intensity without sacrificing form or safety.
