400 lunges

@Mom's

I’ve been treating this as a benchmark WOD. It’s so simple and effective. The genius of CrossFit right here.

I’ve also been embellishing it for home WODs when I’m at a loss. I recently did a 200 m KB lunge snatch. That was fun.

Yesterday did this and hit ~12:00 compared to ~16:00 last year.

12:44 as rx’d. At very rough/hard rubberized track without knee sleeves. About 2m better than last time but about 12lbs lighter these days. Counted but forgot to remember the total because I had to count seconds while unlocking my phone/finding my stopwatch. Roughly 360 steps I think. Stopped 4-6 times after 200 reps...minimal warmup. Ate breakfast and lunch first. Not too bad...

10:19, 332 steps - Rx on track. First 200 steps were big ass lunges. A mix between faster and longer steps to finish.)

13:45, 374 lunges. Added a 25lb plate to make it extra spicy. About a 1/3 way into the workout, I felt as if mistakes were made. Pushed through and made it the other side.

First half 8:50, second half 9:05

im an asshole and didn’t read that I was suppose to keep track of steps… I got a measuring tape out and did 2 lunges. Made it 6 feet and a couple inches. 1312.34/3.1=424

approximately 424 steps.

12:09 Rx'd

Did this on a track in 100m increments, all the other times I did this WOD were on the grass, I found it way more difficult doing it on a hard surface because knowing the surface is hard and that you don't want to smack your knee on it requires more control in the descent of the lunge.

I was trying to take longer strides but this was more steps than last time – especially in the back half – probably due to the vest.  Never tried this with the vest, and actually haven’t done it in 12 years.  Best without vest is 12:15.

Rx 9:54, but I lost count of my steps, it was somewhere over 360.

Holy quads, this is going to hurt tomorrow! Only 1 stop and that was at the turn around - a couple of leg shakes and I was back on it.

I did the beginner's version.

124 steps to get 100 meters.

Kind of glad to have this workout because lunges are a movement I haven't really done much and therefore suck at. Doing a mess of lunges is sure to help.

Charlie, that’s a LOT of trips across the basement. I can get about 20 lunges in across mine, so I opted for a middle school football field on a chilly, drizzly Colorado morning.

Jonathan, legs ok for now, but my lower back is starting to protest.

I think this workout is a direct challenge to Chris M, Mike A, you, and all in the vest challenge club.

Jonathan, brave to do this in a vest. I suspect your quads and glutes are gonna give you some feedback later today and tomorrow, too.

Jill and Derek, dang!! Is there such a thing as a running lunge?

380 steps in 13:05, on a football field.

Charlie, hope the move goes well.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT

A mean burning from the legs is one of the most uncomfortable feelings in CrossFit, and the main reason behind that is stopping and resting is a sure sign of being a pansy. When your arms die out in push-ups, there's nothing you can do. When your grip dies out on pull-ups, there's nothing you can do. When your legs burn out on 400m walking lunges, you can always do one more step, no matter what step you're on. I'm not saying this workout is going to be unbroken, but just know every time you rest (at least, for experienced CrossFitters) it's your brain telling you that more than your body.

I DON'T WANT TO JUST LUNGE SCALE

Pick one movement you are pretty good at and practice it for 20 minutes immediately following 400 meters of walking lunge. Can you still keep your form when your legs are toast?
