WOD: Circuiting

Workout
4 rounds, 40/20

  • Lateral jump
  • Rope press
  • Horse stance
  • Rower
  • TRX plank
  • Lizard/Bear crawl
  • Suitcase carry
  • Med ball throws

Results
This one kind of snuck up on me!  The first round was pretty easy, but I was starting to struggle at the halfway point.

The jumps weren't for speed - just concentrate on jumping high and landing softly, then step down and repeat.  We used the light rope for pressing, so I was able to go pretty consistently the entire 40s but I also stepped back a bit to make them harder.  They're always a killer.  Fuck the horse stance!

I pushed myself pretty hard on the rower the first 2 rounds, but slowed down the last 2.  For the plank, we alternated rounds with feet in the handles and hands in the handles....hands in the handles was much tougher for me.  Good stuff!  We had a choice on the crawls, so I lizard crawled up one way and then bear crawled until the bell.

I used a 24kg bell for the suitcase carry (one arm).  And the med ball throws were done from the side and kneeling, leg closest to the wall was up.  And then just throw the ball against the wall, catch and repeat.  Switch sides each round.  That was a little tougher than I thought it would be too - I used the 12lb ball.
