I wasn’t sure whether my Olifting would be ok in case I go for today’s MetCon, so I skipped it in favour of Olifting. Two-hour training and all I want now is eating and sleeping
I really don’t like this wod at all.
They are doing a CFT tommorrow @ CFEC. So I was betting it was going to be this wod or ‘Griff’ today. I think this sucks worse than ‘Griff.’
Yeah, because in Griff, as soon as you turn around, you can catch your breath. Your legs take a beating, surely, but not like your whole system does on a fast mile . . .
Is there a certain time that we should strive to hit for today’s WOD? For example, Fran should be done in 3-5 minutes. Not sure which scaling to choose.

There’s no specific time. Your previous posts show a Barbara Lite and a Fran at 65lbs, unless the running just kills you, you can always try pack. Mr. K just got 18:00, and that’s probably a pretty darn good time.

Mommy… 5min 20sec of work never felt sooo long!
Minor logistics because I did this solo… used my iPod app for the TABATA rounds but I probably still missed a rep here and there while trying to get my fingers to work to write down my rep count. One to repeat!!

got my 400 time to under 2 min. lost time running from the basement to outside
cool down
10min of handstand practice. mild improvement. I can kick up without slamming into the wall or door now which the wife appreciates!
Never done this WOD before, did it as RX 24:06 tried the POSE running method and really liked it, had to run a little slower to work on form but for a bigger guy it didnt hurt as much.
At Brand X today the WOD was brutal. When I first read it I thought not too bad.WRONG!!!!
Buy in: 5 minutes of run 100 M, cartwheels ( I stood on my head against the wall as a sub) and max L-sits
Lunge 30 steps with weights=to half your bodyweight. I used 35#DB. Maybe not really half but heavy enough. After the first 30 steps I dropped the weight to 30#.
Then max HSPU. I did the progressions off the big box. I did 11 straight.
Back to the lunges. Ugh.
Max ring dips. Jump to support for me. I think I did 5. Sad.
More lunges.
Max push ups. Again 11. My legs already are protesting.
Cash out was one minute L-sit and max hang for time. I was close to a minute of hanging. OOOOOH, I will feel this one tomorrow if not sooner.
