Third go at our foot-elevated split squats.  Reps drop to 3 per leg per set, so aim to go heavier than the 3X5 week.  Big thing to remember, keep you torso as upright as possible.  Some folks have a tendency to lean forward when performing lunges like these.  To save your back, don’t let that happen.

WOD:

3 Rounds:

10/8 Cal Row

50′ Walking Lunges

10/8 Cal Row

Videos courtesy of CrossFit HQ and Train FTW, respectively.  Quick demos for the Walking Lunge and Burpee Broad Jump.

Looking for a good pace on the row, and then smooth movements through the lunge and burpee broad jumps.  With the burpee broad jumps, aim for that soft landing, and dropping back down for the next burpee (don’t shuffle the feet to move further down the path).  Suggest setting up a 25’ section to go down and back.
