I did "slope style" as Rx'd
5 rounds for time of:
lateral box jumps, 5/5 reps
pistols, 5/5 reps
air squat w/180 deg. rotation, 5/5reps
Time: 8:43
This was an "arse" burner, mostly due to the 50 pistols...
5x5 back squat
245,265,285,285,285
did this at 3:00 in the morning on8/19, so I was still fatigued from 8/18 WOD without any rest.
i did 2 minutes of 20" lateral jumps afterward. i can see the first two as functional more so than the last.
when will you give my wod a try?
function? I agree, not so much for everyday life...That's why this is a "snowboarding" specific WOD.
lateral box jumps: because you're having to spring off of one leg more than the other this builds timing, coordination, strength, balance, etc. for the "ollie"
Pistols: basic leg strength & balance exercise
air squats w/180 rotation: on the snowboard, this is the "air 180" transition from regular to switch riding (left foot forward to right foot forward, vice versa) the variation would be an air squat w/ 360 deg rotation "air 360".
So when you combine the "ollie" & the "air 180" it looks pretty cool hence "Slope Style"
