WOD: Did Some Call a DOCtor?

Workout
Deck of Cards

  • H = Press
  • D = Row
  • C = Squat
  • S = Swing
  • J = 10 Burpees or 30 mountain climbers
  • A = 12 reps

Results
The gym was hosting a weightlifting cert that Justin had to attend, so he couldn't run classes today.  Instinct was allowed to stay open, but we were curtained off from the rest of the gym.  Michelle was the guest trainer for the early classes and I took the later classes.  The workout was my idea, and I think it was a new concept to most.

Each exercise came with options.  The presses could be double kb, goblet or single arm and they could be push press or jerks if needed.  The rows could be double bent over, bent over single, high pulls or renegade rows.  Similar with squats - double kb, goblet, single arm, etc.  Again with the swings, doubles, two-hand, alternating etc.  For the single arm options, you didn't have to do all reps on each side, it was the total that counted.

I worked out with the 11am class and used double 16s for everything.  I did strict presses for all but one set of 10.  We had just done 12 a few cards before and I had to switch to the jerk.  For the jokers (3 in the deck), I did burpees.

It took about 40-45 minutes all together and we took 3 or 4 breaks throughout. I probably would have gone faster on my own but there's no reason to push the class that hard.

As always, this was a fun one!
