Perhaps if one’s Jackie time is >10-15min (whatever the scaling), one could try to do 2 rounds of 1/2x Jackie. With or without rest between the rounds - with the goal being to have the 2 rounds be pretty close time-wise and obviously, faster than 1/2 of your full Jackie time.
This type of modification gives you the stimulus of pushing through this WOD as a sprint (very important to understand this feeling); with as few breaks as possible. Say your Rx’d Jackie time is 13min… try a 1/2x Jackie and shoot for 6min or under for the first rd. Adjust rest depending on how gassed your are… say 3min to start (that’s 1/2 the work time) and hit it again! If you can eek out ~6min again, then next time you do Jackie try it with half the rest (1:30 in this example), and the next time with no rest, ect.

Pack:
Complete as many rounds as you can in fifteen minutes of:
3 Handstand Push-ups
6 L Pull-ups
9 Steps, Walking Lunge
9 Rounds
For HSPU had feet on bench and upper body in vertical position. I will try a bar next time. L-pullups didn’t work and my kipping pullup needed work so I did kipping pullups. I think I found a rythym kipping finally and was able to bang through all 6 each time without resetting my kip. I will have to work on the L-site independently.
I have the same question. I thought it was odd that one leg would get more work than the other, so I counted one rep after each leg did the lunge. Is that right?
That is what I had planned on doing. Thanks for the input.
Count each leg. What you describe is doing 30 lunges, so congratulations, you just did twice as much work as you needed to.
Next time this comes up you know you’re in for an easier ride.
Did 15 minutes, HSPU with feet on wall at about 90 degrees. Mostly L pullups (underhand), some tuck pullups.
5 rounds +3 HSPU +3 L PU.
Range of motion wasn’t that great on the L pullups. Some I started with the jump, sometimes I didn’t straighten my elbows the whole way. It really was the best I can do at this point.
Complete as many rounds as you can in twelve minutes of:
3 Handstand Push-ups (highly modified)
6 L Pull-ups or tuck sit pull ups (highly modified)
9 Steps, Walking Lunge
peachy- push ups on a box, tire or wall are good subs. We don’t allow knee push ups at Brand X, so that the client can work on building core strength, which is what they need to do proper push ups.
