Noon ninjas be slayin’, just sayin’. YESSSSSS!

Impact/Focus: Damper Setting Rowing & Walking Planks
Work through the following for quality:

3 Rounds of

Row 35/30kcal
-Rest 1:00-
Row 20/18kcal
50ft x Rollerboard Planks or Aligator Crawl
(w/5 x Up Downs every 25ft, 2 total sets per round)

*Round 1 w/ Damper @ 1-3
**Round 2 w/ Damper @ 4-6
***Round 3 w/ Damper @ 8-10

Notes:

Rollerboard Planks are a plank position with feet on the Roller Board with the athlete pulling themselves forward while maintaining their best plank position. Aligator walks are the same movement wit straight legs, knees locked sans the Roller Board; At each 25ft athletes will move their plank to the elbows and then back to the hands with straight arms 5 times.

Rowing Points of Performance;
I. Legs-Lean-Arms-Arms-Lean-Legs
II. 1 second Drive (Out) w/ 2 second Recovery (In)
III. Reduce Chain slack across tempo of pulls
IV. Open up the throttle and compare Damper Settings & Tempo impact on pace/effort.
