TIPS AND TRICKS FOR 16.4
So you are looking for some tips and tricks to dominate 16.4?
The WOD Life have you covered compiling all of the best tips, tricks and strategies from the best amongst the CrossFit community.
THE WORKOUT?
TOP 6 TIPS
1. Keep it tight in the deadlifts
Your back will thank you later.
2. Focus on your reps!
Make it a point to do all reps to perfect standards. A no rep can really slow you down, make it count the first time you do it!
3. Be Efficient on the Rower
It’s all about the strength of your pulls, not the speed. Make every pull worth it. Chest up, arms extended, drive through your whole foot, pull the handle to your sternum.
4. Transition Time
5-10 seconds can be easily wasted in this workout. Attack the snatches with those 3 bar muscle ups in mind. Unbroken snatches won’t matter if you need a break before you can get onto the bar muscle ups.
5. Handstand Push ups
Adhere to the standards. Keep your hands shoulder width apart, flex your feet, and reach up on every rep. Cut your reps into manageable sets because once you fatigue, singles are the only option.
6. Pacing
Slow and steady wins the race. With such high rep counts and a long time frame, redlining isn’t an option. It’s better to keep moving at an 80% pace the entire workout than waste valuable seconds resting.
GEAR TIPS
Deadlifts
- Lifting belt. SAVE YOUR BACK. Velcro makes the most sense for this workout!
- Tape for that hook grip!
Wall Balls
- We saw the pro’s wear them, in the Open announcement last night. Knee sleeves will help you stay bouncey out of the squat portion of your wall ball shots.
PREPARATION
