Extra Work, Week of 8/18/14

Here is the extra work for the week of 8/18/14. You will notice that we’ve added two more elements this week: double unders and rope climbs. You all already see double unders pop up “on the reg” (isn’t that how the cool kids say it?), but rope climbs haven’t for a while. That will change…very soon. So get to practicin’
