8:12 as rxd. Happy to be able to comolete this while following a plan to the letter when ussualy i burn everytjing i got from the get go. Did it in 10 sets of 15 reps. My legs cramped after wod, and it was not my best karen either. Im not sure if it was the rep schem i chose or the crappy food I have been eating these last too days, probably the latter. I liked one of the athletes comments that said he trued doing every 20 or 30 sec 8/7 reps and got to 6 30 or so. Maybe i will try that rep scheme next. Overall pretty happy anyway! Feeling leand and mean! Thank you CF

No wall, no ball, so I did:

--

"Karenster"

For time: 150 DB thrusters w/ 2x 7,5kg DB

SCORE: 11' 43''

--

Broken into 40/20/20/20/15/15/16/4 😩

Tough, but felt good afterwards.

Did 50 more reps, plus a bunch of air squats, plus a 2 km jog on already wobbly legs, for good measure.

6 km run in the morning.

As rx’d, 8:43. 


Over 2 minutes off my best Karen.  Just did not have it today.  First 25, didn’t rest much until 50.  But breaks were too long and was not able to string much beyond 10’s and 15’s after that.  Did this with Ian (16yo), who used a 12-pound ball to 10-ft. target.  He got 10:47.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

I just watched/attended my first professional soccer game (big ups to Javier). There were smoke bombs, fans hanging over the gate to threaten the official, a kid from our gym yelling suggestions to the opposing team's goalie about a different way to handle balls, two megahorns, and a single drum that kept a constant 140bmp for the entire 90 minutes. It was not an MLS team, but rather a 3rd tier pro team playing in a random field in the middle of the hood. And the stadium was at less than 50% capacity because of regulations. I can't imagine what it would be like to attend a big-time pro game in Spain or something.


WORKOUT THEMES

Testing the stamina of our jumping, accuracy of pushing, and stamina and accuracy of our squatting


MAIN DECISION

Is my technique good enough where a single-modality day is right for me?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

15 wallballs

[insert other movement you want to practice]


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As listed, but your workout is done when you put down the med ball or otherwise stop the rhythm


INTENSITY SCALE

As is, no rest more than 5 seconds.


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - AMRAP in 15 minutes of: 25 squat jumps, 15 GHD sit-ups

Lower-body - I'd try and pack together knees to elbows and seated press in high numbers, maybe Lynne-style with max reps of each


MY STUFF

8:20something as rx'd


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
