Most of us are so busy WODing that we forget about accessory work — things like bodybuilding and gymnastics that may not look as exciting as repping out muscle-ups but are even more crucial to your success in the box. If you want a strong and stable foundation, spend time with accessory work. Here’s a tough one from Alethea Boon. You’re going to feel this the next day!

4 rounds of

• 12 x AB complex (sequence shown = 1 rep)
• 12 x DB lateral arm raises
• 12 x DB thumbs-up forward arm raises
• 12 x DB palms down single arm front raises, alternating
• 12 x DB OH presses (with a wide pause)
