Double Unders
5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50…10-5
Each sets must be unbroken or you have to restart your set. So if you trip at rep 49 or the 50, you must start the set all over. The format goes as follow, perform 5 double unders then you must come to a stop, then 10, stop, then 15, stop, 20 and so on. Work your way up from 5 to 50 then down to 5. Rest as needed between sets
Scale: Go up by 10 instead of 5. Go only up to 50 only. Single unders. Singles and doubles together. Break as needed
Note: Please, come in with a positive attitude, double unders can be frustrating, we all know that, be strong and don’t let it get to you. Chances are, if you get mad, you won’t get better at it. From all things, this is a great opportunity to work on your double unders skills.
Starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to receive email notifications for daily posts. Not just for WODs but also other announcements. There’s always something going on, activities, apparel orders, courses and events just to name a few. This is to make sure everybody is aware of what’s going on. Not everybody is on social media so we had to find other means.
You can also stay connected by joining our facebook community closed group, this group is for members of CrossFit Pyro only so what we post there is only for us. If you post or comment on this page, only members of the group will see it. Just search CrossFit Pyro community on the facebook search bar, request to join and you’re in.

We also have our main facebook page and Instagram but we’re not posting everything there.
Being at the box is ultimately the best way to stay connected, we try to take a couple minutes before classes to bring up anything that’s going on but we want to make sure absolutely everybody gets the information
