MOVEMENT QUALITY OVER MOVING FAST
Your focus today should be on moving well and with quality in mind versus moving fast just to get it done. Adjust the weights accordingly so that you can go through a full range of motion for every rep.
Once the two EMOMs have been preformed you will have the choice of either doing some mobility or another conditioning WOD.

THE GEO-BASE CYCLE WORKOUT PLUS A BIRCHER MUESLI RECIPE
Today you will be hitting a workout that many of you would have done a short while ago. Hopefully you recorded your result (because we all know how important it is to keep track of our performances) so that you can try to do better this time around.
Much of the training we have done over the last couple of months has been focussed on conditioning (improving your engine) and technique. So not only should you be fitter (you have bigger work capacity), you should also be moving more efficiently.
Get after it!
