Fight Gone Bad
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for 3 rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of ‘rotate,’ the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point. The stations are:
1. Wall-ball, 10 ft target (Reps) 14# ball
2. Deadlift high-pull (Reps) 55# barbell
3. Box jump (Reps) 20″
4. Push-press (Reps) 55# barbell5. Row (Calories)
My score: 245
wall ball: 12/10/9
SDLHP: 18/15/17
box jump: 35/25/25
push press: 20/20/15
row: 8/8/8
I’m doing the Athletes For A Cure fundraiser again this year to raise some money for prostate cancer research. The finals are September 27, so today we did a prelim/practice session to see how much we can improve in 6 weeks. Also how much money we can raise. This workout is really rough for short people, I have to say, but I’m happy with my score.
I really need to work on the wall ball. Heaving that thing up is near impossible. The official website says the target is 8 feet, which I can do, but I guess we’re doing 10 feet at my gym which blows. Ten feet is literally twice my height and it’s really rough. I have to do a jump shot to get the ball up and even then I’m barely skimming the bottom of the target. I am considering skipping that portion altogether and just resting for a minute, because it’s near impossible when you’re tired.
