Post reps to Comments/LogWOD
Post weight used to Comments here and to your entry in LogWOD.
The goal here is after you hit one rep, keep going as long as you can with good form. The weight cannot stay on the floor for more than a one count (one-one thousand), and your hands cannot come off the bar. So, should you pause more than one second, lose grip, or form breaks down (if your set up does not look like the above picture, your form is breaking down), your set has ended. Push yourself as far as you can safely. Grind through it!
WOD:
“Whirly Bird”
For Time:
5-5-3-3-2-2 Push Press (185/115)
50-50-30-30-20-20 Single Unders (Double Unders for Firebreathers)

Goal = move Large Loads Long Distances Quickly.
This means you need to select a weight for the WOD that you can get for 5reps on the first round, but with difficulty.
Push presses will be done out of the rack.
The jump rope is the recovery period. Strategize accordingly
Video courtesy of Gymnastics WOD. A common error I see when we do rope drills are folks get so wound up on trying to spin the rope quicker, that they don’t establish a rhythm. They can’t “hear” what the rope should sound like when they do either single or double unders. Try doing the drill shown here to find that timing. Once you can get that feeling, you can learn how to stay on a constant pace with your rope instead of just trying to spin as fast as you can and hope for the best. As we mentioned above for strategy, the rope work should be your recovery period.
