Today’s WOD is all about efficiency in your rowing technique. You start each round with a buy-in of 2 Turkish Get ups (one left hand, one right hand) and 8 Toe2Bars, then when you get on the rower, you get 20 strokes to get the most calories possible. Therefore, you want to make sure you maximize your power output with every stroke. The hard you drive back in your stroke, the faster the fly-wheel in the rower will spine, the more cals will tick off. As the video shows, this does not mean come back into the catch super-fast. Use the catch to set yourself up for another explosive stroke on the row.
Scaling Options:
Toe2Bar -> Kipping Knee Raise -> Strict Knee Raise -> Laying Toe2Bar -> V-Ups
Turkish Get Up weight -> 35/25 -> as needed
