We are bringing back a time domain we haven’t tested in a while: short work period, short rest period. For a few months, we used this style of workout to improve our ability to recover quickly between short and intense sets of work. The class CrossFit WOD that uses this format is Fight Gone Bad. We last did that WOD earlier this month on August 5th. While Fight Gone Bad has no rest between sets of work, today’s wod will have a 30 sec rest between working. Don’t let this fool you. The 30 secs turns into transition time and really don’t provide that much rest.
