Complete 3 sets of each:

1 Embedded BL + 5 Tempo FL Rows

1 Embedded PL + 5 Tempo Tuck PL Pushups

1 Embedded FL + 5 Tempo HLL

Finish the workout with 10 Bridge Wall Walks

notes:

1) Warm-up by performing 2-3 easier Row/Pushup variations prior to beginning your working sets. The variations used should initially begin with one that is quite easy and then get progressively more difficult from warm-up set to warm-up set.

2) NOTE: When scaling always adjust the difficulty of the FBE so that you will be able to maintain the correct tempo, sets and reps as designated in that day’s GB WOD.

3) Choose a body position for the embedded static strength variation that allows you to hold the position for 15 seconds per rep.

4) Rest 10-20 seconds between the embedded static and the subsequent exercise. Rest 1-2 minutes in between giant sets.

5) Use a tempo of 212 for the basic strength sets. For the Tuck PL Pushup, this equates to a 2 second descent, followed by a 1 second pause at the bottom with the feet elevated, then a 2 second ascent.

6) Focus on maintaining completely locked, straight elbows at all times during the Embedded PL with the hips at shoulder height. You may adjust the position of the body as necessary.

7) If Tuck PL Pushups are too difficult, scale down to a more appropriate pushup variation.

8 ) If HLL are too easy, increase the intensity by adding weight at the ankles.

9) DO NOT skip the Bridge Wall Walks at the end of the Workout.

1st two rounds filmed.

Wasn't feeling particuliary strong today (could have something to do with the 1 or 2 drinks i had last night :( ), so i didn't attempt the Tuck PL Pushups. Are the pushups I did in place considered an appropriate scale down?

After watching the Vid, my FL holds aren't looking too good. Gotta work on a straighter back. Also, I gotta work on the tempo more for the FBE's. Nice to record my WOD's now to see what I'm doing wrong.
