We will have modifications for movements posted at the whiteboard. You can do this WOD alone or with a partner; or chop the reps in half. If you’re going for the gym records board, make sure that you’re using prescribed equipment and that a coach can vouch for your reps.
Tackle this as any other chipper, keeping steady and hammering away at each movement. Break it up into sets of 25, 10, even fives, and try to minimize rest.
For the handful of WOD cherry pickers, know that doing metcons like this will build mental strength. The more of these you have under your belt, the stronger you become when you approach higher reps and longer time domains. Now get in the gym and show this benchmark workout who’s boss!
You have Melissa to thank for this WOD; she’s been requesting it for a few weeks now.
Melis: I know you can’t make it tomorrow but hope you can make up the WOD Thursday!
Super bummed not to be able to tackle this with my passé. I’m so eager to do this wod. May the force be with all of you! This would be a good team wod too. Just a thought, since it’s my fault upcountry has to endure this torture tomorrow. I love you guys! Enjoy the burn. I know I will.
Melis must be NUTS!!!! to REQUEST the Filthy Fifty???? Aiya!!!!
will we be provided with a “couch” to count our reps or do we need to bring our own “couches” to the gym
we’ll definitely need a COUCH to sprawl out on after this one!!!
Ouch! My old editors werent even that mean! Haha! Thanks, Couch Russ.
Can I came to the box at 530 am and do this wod on Wednesday before work? It’s killing me! What were the times like?
If Russ is working out then, you can come to the box. Check with him:)
