As we wind down the week, we finish with a workout using all bodyweight movements. One of the goals of CrossFit is to increase our general physical preparedness. That means, through CrossFit, we develop the strength, skills, and abilities to take on any physical task. We do not specialize. We prepare generally for anything.
Being generally physically prepared means we need to be able to move our bodyweight just as proficiently as we can move a barbell, or vice-a-versa. We also need to be able to function in different amounts of time and do a wide range of reps.
Today, we combine four basic bodyweight movements and perform a relatively high number of reps for each movement. This WOD will test your ability to move your bodyweight as well as your muscle stamina to continue to move that bodyweight.
