Here’s a little something for you guys to throw in your warmup—it’s called a “Kang Squat” and was suggested to me by Tom Sroka. The Team MDUSA crew uses them to activate their glutes, and warmup their “heiny”, as Tom put it. I haven’t played with them enough to add them to the program, but they must work. I did about 10 of them working up to a max (First PR of the new year! Tom said I had to hit 100k or I was a “pussy”, so I hit 102.27k – aka 225#), and my heiny hasn’t been this sore since Smolov. In case you can’t tell what’s going on and think I’m preparing for a max “twerk” competition (I seriously want to slap myself for saying that)—it’s a Good Morning, into a Squat, back into a Good Morning. Enjoy.

Hi guys,
What’s UB reps and 6″ target burpees please?
Best,
Sorry
UB = unbroken
But 6″ target burpees?
just like in the Open last year, set a target 6″ above your max reach and must touch target on each burpee.

So after your first set of wall balls you rested – 1:56. Double checking to make sure I do this the right way.
@KMadd – Yes, that is correct.
No, should have been 29s. Rudy writes it as a work:rest ratio.
This was my question; wasn’t sure how to look at the ratio. I’ve done it both ways-ie (ex) a 1k row done in 3:30 resting 7 minutes v. resting 1:45. Gigantic difference, so I want to get it right.
@Chris – You’re right…giving us two minutes to rest after 30 WBs does seem pointless. I think what got me was “Rest 2:1” when he means “Rest, at a ratio of 2:1″…hopefully I didn’t mess you up KMadd or anyone else for my post
Yup, I used to read it as “Rest 2:1” as well. There was a discussion on this sometime last year in which Rudy confirmed that it was a work:rest ratio. Having already done the workout, resting nearly 2 minutes after the first 30 WB would have made this a pretty easy (and pointless) metcon; the 27-29s rest was perfect (and awful).
@Chris – Luckily I have always performed it correctly. For some reason, maybe a lack of caffeine to my brain, I thought it was different for this one…in the end, never expect it to be easy is a good rule of thumb
Nope, didn’t mess me up and glad I asked to clarify this one.
