Zack Merrick of All Time Low Does CrossFit WOD at Red Rocks

Most rock musicians warm up for a show with a sound check. Zack Merrick does CrossFit. On May 23, 2023, the band performed a sold-out show at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. But before taking the stage, Merrick — who trains at CrossFit Training Yard in California — hit a quick workout (the same as today’s Workout of the Day.) Watch it now at CrossFit.com.

Completed on 12/31, 17:13. 57 F, 5'4", 120#.

Forced to use elliptical, one knee couldn't tolerate even the treadmill, so stuck with the recommended 2:15 run time.

Thanks guys!


Mike, somebody posted a compare to link below.Otherwise , I may not have remembered this was a repeat. Since about 2016, I record them by posting on here. And by putting several “compare to” ‘s, I just copy and paste so I don’t have to backtrack too far.


I used a notebook between 2013 and 2016 and have several old results written there as well. When I do one of the popular originals (like Fran or Murph), I still write it in the notebook as well (for nostalgia maybe). I had the same problem with the notebook as you… got sick of leafing back through.

The markers for the first 2 runs shortchanged the Rx distances for Pyramid Double Helen, so we added that little extra something by wearing a plate carrier/weight vest and did 8 extra KBS reps.


For those that don't know, Pyramid Double Helen is:

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

This was the second or third workout I've ever done as a high schooler, if I remember correctly. Only OPT had a better time than me, so I kept doing it over and over until I beat his time. It wasn't until a few weeks after that squats required this foreign concept called "standing up all the way." Oh well. Great, elegant, simple, and spicy workout.


MAIN DECISION

Emphasize one or the other, or take both at 80% and go for best overall time?


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT x


MEDIUM


HEAVY


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

As listed, just turn off the timer. If you break up the squats into more than 2 sets, then time to stop


I'M REALLY GOOD AT CROSSFIT AND THIS RUN IS TOO EASY SCALE

Run faster


I'M REALLY GOOD AT CROSSFIT AND THE SQUATS ARE TOO EASY SCALE

S Squat faster.

Love the scale comments dude, couldn't agree more about going faster to make it harder. Anyone that has the thought 'that was too easy' about a WOD like this did not work hard enough - this thing is fire for the legs and lungs.
