Saturday WOD #4 - 1 min on 1 min off

This is a interval based 9 min WOD, so far we have had a strength feat (clean + jerk complex), and two anaerobic tests (row and prowlers).  This WOD takes us longer in time domain and into much more skill based movements.  There is no scaling in this workout at all - those that can compete the "skilled" movements will simply be rewarded with extra points to their total score, which is fair as it favors skill and performance, but does not drastically affect the workout design.

1 min power snatch (Brutes 55/75# and Beasts 65/95#)
1 min rest
1 min ring pull-ups / ring muscle-ups (All Brutes - ring pull-ups and all Beasts - muscle-ups)
1 min rest
1 min fat bar deadlifts (Brutes 125/185# and Beasts 175/245#)
1 min rest
1 min parallette jump through (explained below)
1 min rest
1 min wall clearing (All Brutes and Beast women - 5'3" wall and Beast men 6'3" wall)
For total reps

Athletes will move through the workout in the order written above.  Weights and skills are set (no scaling)- think of this as a skill/strength based workout that is designed to favor those athletes with a broader base of fitness (rewarded with more potential reps).  I fully understand that some athletes will not be able to complete portions of the workout (pull-ups, and muscle-ups), but this is acceptable as increased rest will be given, which will allow for slightly higher output on all other movements.  After testing this workout on a few athletes - it is very possible for one athlete to compete reps at all stations, but still score lower than an athlete who does not attempt each station given the movements and time domains.

The exact standards on all movements will be given tomorrow in video format, as writing them out will take too much time and not be as clear.

  1. This looks fun! I can't tell by how it's written whether Beast Women will be doing pullups or muscle-ups, but I hope we get to do muscle-ups!
