Coach Rip!

Introduction to the Bench Press, Mark Rippetoe - video [wmv] [mov]

Another hard one. I devised this workout a while back because of the lack of a true benchmark with the use of a jump rope, we have one with running (Helen), and we have one with rowing (Christine). I had originally thought to use single-unders as most could do this without stopping and with good speed but there are some of you that are very good at double-unders and therefore that will be the method of choice. If you are not that good at double unders you are permitted to use single-unders for this one. Have fun.

WOD
"Beverly"
3 Rounds for Time of
50 Double-Unders (or 200 single-unders)
12 Front Squats (bodyweight)
21 Burpees

Scale where necessary, especially the front squats.

   can't make it in tonight, going to the bball game in Lincoln. I did this one ("Beverly") at the gym at school. It was brutal, bodyweight front squats for 12 reps was not happening so I did them at 185 lbs. and the burpees were incredibly tough too.
   
   time = 16:28
   
   hope everyone enjoys this one, see you tomorrow.

   DU's got much better the last round, front squats unbroken till 10 of the last round only 2 fingers holding the bar up. The only thing holding me back were the DU's.

10. Well, I still hate double unders. I could have had a respectable time if I cheated or scaled more, but I didn't. I don't even know what I ended in, like 30 damn minutes.
