WOD
"Broken Tailpipe"
In teams of three (guys with guys and gals with gals),
complete two rounds each of:
250 meter row
Two arm Kettlebell Rack Hold (1.5 pood/1 pood)
Kettlebell Swings (2 pood/1.5 pood)
Here are the rules:
- While partner 1 is rowing, partner 2 is holding a kettlebell in each arm in a clean rack position with the handles touching at all times (nothing else) and partner 3 is trying to accumulate as many kettlebell swing reps as possible.
- Each team member must complete two full rounds of the workout for a total of 6 rounds between them.
- The partner holding the kettlebells in the rack position is not allowed to put the bells down or even allow the handles of the bells to separate until the partner rowing is done. FOUL if you break this rule.
- FOUL: a round is added on to the end of the workout for your team. This extra round will not count your kettlebell reps towards your final score but will count the extra time it takes to finish.
- This workout is scored two ways: A) fastest finish time, B) most kettlebell reps.
Post time and total kb reps to comments. Thoughts too.
What ideas can you come up with to put on jump boxes? Pictures? Sayings? Full designs?
Give me your best idea.
My ancestors didn’t claw their way to the top of the food chain so I could eat Twinkies.
Probably way too long though
Decided to do a 1RM press because I don't know that I've done one since we were at UNO. 95# - technically, probably a PR, but I'm not impressed. Probably didn't help that I ate sh*t yesterday, and not enough of it...
BUT I redeemed myself a little with a new PR of 7 consecutive strict pullups. Can't complain about that.
Big garage sale tomorrow at the Foster/Christiansen household. 8am-noon fire sale, everything must go. Toys, little girls clothes, kitchen crap. Need a record player circa 1974 with no speakers? $3. An 80# Everlast heavy bag? $20 and it's yours. Bring your gov't rebate check and drive home happy!
Teamed up with Greg O and finished in 6:35 with a total of 86 swings between us. Way to go, my brother!
I could read Jon Gilson articles all day. Some good jump box-worthy lines in there...

i think that is enough for now.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them, 'Hold On!'
