Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.*Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.

C2b all unbroken which was a nice jump in the WOD for us.

Overall had a fun day.
Jordan and I came in 6th. That 3rd WOD killed us (me and the leg). Would have put us in 4th and into 6th and final WOD which was our WOD. Rope climbs. HSPU etc.
Fun event. Judging, a different story. But they were aware and goin to make changes for next year. Very proud of CFF for quality reps from everyone an holding themselves to a higher standard.
