Skill Work Day

 

Today we want to take a break from the hard work we’ve been doing this week to work on some skills that will help improve performance.

 

15 Minutes – Establish  max height Plyo Push Up

 

15 Minutes – Snatch Balance work

 

15 Minutes – Double Unders – max unbroken work

 

Video courtesy of CrossFit Evoke.  Your goal on going max height is to keep the legs as stiff as possible as to not use them to bounce up.  You will go down to the bottom of a push up and explode up on to either a stack of plates or a box.  Start low and work your way up.  Team up so there is one person supporting each stack.  Also, we’ll put an ab mat down where your face would be to avoid a face plant to the floor.
