Tips for tackling the WOD

It looks like a Fran but it's not! More volume of work, more load on the thursters and more difficulty in the gymnastic movements. Don't be fooled, this WOD has to be tackled with another strategy.

• Before you start, establish the sets you are going to make. Breaks repetitions in sets from the beginning so you don't reach your limit too early. Even if you are not too tired at the beginning and you see that the reps are descending, you should keep in mind that as the WOD progresses, the double unders will make you more and more tired, weight is added to the bar and the gymnastic movements become more technical versions.
• Warms up to WOD levelThe WOD: starts with a general warm-up and goes through all the exercises of the WOD. It is important that the shoulders that are going to receive a lot of work are well prepared for the load.
• Combines gripIf you feel comfortable doing pull ups or chest to bar with mixed grip or supine, either grip is totally allowed. This will save you some grip for when you get to the muscle ups. And remember that you can use either callipers or tape on the bar, but not both!
• Have all the material at hand with the exact discs you need to add to increase the weight on the bar. It avoids having to take discs out and put them in so you don't waste time. You can receive assistance but only for weight changes. Some of us neurotics even have a second rope handy (just in case, you know!).
• Take double unders to rest. I know it sounds like a joke, who rests doing doubles, but it's the easiest exercise of all and it's not a lot of repetitions.

And let's not forget, for most of them the goal will be to get as far as possible, as soon as possible, to win in the tie break. The rest of the time will be devoted to trying to unblock some limiting element such as the weight of the thruster or muscle ups.
