A throwback to when Dave got to take on 17.4. He told us his prior score when it was 16.4 and there was no way we weren’t going to let him PR!

The Chipper

Today’s workout is a chipper. What’s a chipper? It’s a workout where you have a specific number of reps for several movements. Once you complete those reps, you’re totally done with that movement and you move on to what’s next. I’m not sure where the love of the chipper comes from. Maybe it’s because you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and you know once you’re done with X, you’re done with X for the entire workout. Sometimes that can help you push through something you don’t like very much. Or maybe it’s because for those of us with ADD, the chipper usually gives us a taste of a bunch of movements so you get to do a lot of different stuff. Regardless, we know you like ’em so here you go!

Today the barbell is relatively light so you can keep moving. That doesn’t mean the intent is to go unbroken because it isn’t, but it should be manageable to get through the movements with minimal rest. Know where you’re at with each movement and go into it with a plan. We’ll talk about approach during the briefing so you’ll have some things to focus on, and it will be an awesome day!
