BUTTS & GUTS 11.25.18
7 Rounds
7 x Through the Complex:
1 Reverse Lunge Left
1 Reverse Lunge Right
1 Good Morning
Then
10 Reps Around the World
Score is weight used for the complex.So you will go through the complex of lunge, lunge, good morning - 7 times. Then you will place the bar down and do 10 Around the Worlds. (5 Each way alternating).
On the lunge, make sure you take a big step back, touch the back knee - drive through the front heel.
On the Good Morning, only a slight bend in the knee - keep the back flat and hinge at the hip. Squeeze the butt to stand up.
Only hinge as far as you can keep the back completely flat. This will have a lot to do with midline strength as well as hamstring flexibility.
