Post Work
For quality:
Sled Drag, pick load, 5 mins
Farmer Carry, 53/35 lbs, 4 mins
Plank Hold, 3 mins

Accessory work today is intended to get you moving in a way that increases your heart rate and creates blood flow without beating you up. Sled should be done at a moderate weight that allows for steady movement. Otherwise, you can modify to doing a monostructural movement (bike/row/jog) or a dumbbell low box step up. The farmer’s carry should be done with a light to moderate load that allows you to stay moving consistently with small breaks. The plank can be done on the forearms or in a straight arm plank position where you will accumulate 3-minutes in as few sets as possible.
