Ice Bath Immersion: Science or Fiction?
Thursday, September 29, 2011WOD
Dynamic mobility before the WOD
Choose 2 body weight movements to work on and perform 4x10(four sets of 10) of each movement with a progressive load
Spend the rest of your WOD time focusing on mobility limitations and static stretching
Row 1500 meters (moderately easy pace, not for time)
Post movements, mobility, and row
Don't try this at home!
