Death by Wall Ball

Do 2 wall-balls the first minute, 4 wall-balls the second minute, 6 on the third… Continue as long as possible. Fraction sets if necessary. Men use 20 lbs ball, ladies use 14 lbs.

Score is the number of full rounds completed.

Please, don’t let there be anymore pullups this month!

    Quote from a CF article, regarding the medicine ball.

    “It is unthreatening, even friendly.”

    Keep that in mind during the WOD! ;)

    WU x 1

    MU Practice
    Managed 2 sets of 2 semi-unbroken Muscle-Ups!! I did not let go of the rings or drop down, but I need to work on fully extending my arms at the bottom while keeping my false grip on the way down. I had never strung 2 together before so I was pretty pumped.

    Strength: OHS x 5
    90-100-110-115 (PR)

    “Death by Wall Ball”
    20 (10 rounds) +11=121 reps

    Had probably 4 or 5 “no-reps” on the last set, but glad I mad it as far as I did.

    WOD at Crossfit Kinetics:

    No strength, instead I participated in a skill session, where we worked on push press/push jerk/split jerk. Fun learning the split jerk.

    WOD:

    First, 25 burpees
    Then:
    3 rounds:
    15 pullups
    50 Double unders
    Then:
    Finish off with 25 burpees.

    Time: 14:16

    I was pretty sure I was going to die during the last 25 burpees.

    Really great workout!

    Happy to be able to get a CF workout in but really miss my CFM peeps!
