Greatist Workout of the Day: Friday August 10th
New to GWODs? Start by reading our FAQ and picking the program — 2, 3, or 4 days per week — that's right for you!
2 Times Per Week:
Rest
3 Times Per Week:
GWOD Warm-up “Lite” (for the warm-up, check out our FAQ)
(Perform the paired exercises as supersets. For example, perform 1 set of A1, then casually walk to the station for A2, perform that set, then rest 60-90 seconds)
A1) Pull-up OR Assisted Pull-up OR Lat Pull-down — 3 sets of 8 reps
(From Coach Jon: "If you don't have access to an assisted pull up machine, get your training partner to assist the up phase of the pull up. Get them to not help on the down phase as you will be strong enough to lower your self.")

B1) Cable Anti-Rotation Hold — 3 sets of twenty seconds per side
B2) Incline Dumbbell Bench Press — 2 sets of 8 to 10 reps
