There are good times to take breaks in a WOD. And there are poor times to take breaks. In today’s EMOM, it would be unwise to put the bar down after the squat clean. It forces you to do extra work. And we need you to be efficient. How about the burpee box jumps? The best spot to take a short breather would be the top of the box. One or two breaths, hop down and go right into the next burpee.
But what about water? Shouldn’t you stay hydrated? Maybe during a 20 minute workout in the heat of the summer, but for an 8 minute AMRAP, you’ll be absolutely fine without.
Water breaks and trips to the chalk bucket during short workouts are generally an excuse to take a break. But you’re perfectly hydrated and hands are still chalky.
So do your fitness a favour. Hang on to that bar, drop down to the floor or pick up that bar – because unnecessary breaks are for sissies.

Thanks Patrick for the tips today. Also for those who know the 80’s comedic reference “Dorf On Golf” starting Tim Conway, I was like “Dorf On Pullups” today for me! Following the link below if you want a laugh!

… needed good accuracy on jumps to nail a good false grip on every MU.
Speaking of water break and hydration, Crossfit had been posting a lot of interesting articles on the subject lately, mostly in the Crossfit Journal. Subjects range from the real/tested effects of dehydratation on performance, the dangers of over-hydration, debunking claims from sports drink companies etc etc.
Good reads.

The old me would have definitely skipped this WOD. Box jumps terrify the hell out of me, and anything squatty is not my friend. But I am trying my best to be accountable, get stronger and lose those 30# I put on.
Thank you Kevin for pushing me to do 85#. It was out of my comfort zone, but I did it 🙂
Killin it Tara!!! And 85# is no joke! Good work on this WOD lady! 😉

I loved everything about today’s WOD. I hate burpees, but loved them today with the pullups and boxjumps.
Worked up to 90# Clean, I feel I should have gone heavier as my 1RM is being limited by my ability to drop under the bar, not my ability to get the weight. Next time go heavier.
