Saturday's WOD -- Challenge: 'Jake '


It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. --Babe Ruth.

A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest, I run a race to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into an exhausting pace, and then at the end punish himself even more. --Steve Prefontaine

What's the deal with that Monsoor guy? Roger that with everything.


We have a Naylor named wod that consists of 10 rounds of 15x135#deadlift and 20 pushups. We have a Tommy named wod consisting of AMRAP in 20 minutes of 10 x OHS and 20 abmat situps. I am now self naming a wod to add myself to the list. To concluce my 3 week wod reign I'm finishing off with a wod utilizing 3 of my favorite movements. Please note that toe touching in the knees to elbows is not allowed.

21 x 135# Thruster
21 x Knees to Elbows
63 x Double Unders
15 x 135# Thruster
15 x Knees to Elbows
45 x Double Unders
9 x 135# Thruster
9 x Knees to Elbows
27 x Double Unders

Post time to comments, there is no cutoff as wod must be finished completely even if it takes 2 hours. It may take me that long to finish.

Oh man........... I felt weak today.
K2E's were done unbroken, I think 21 is the most I've ever done consecutively.

DU's were pathetic, doing these after thrusters and k2e's is a bad idea.

Thrusters:
21: 7-6-4-4
15: 5-4-3-3
9: 4-3-2

With long breaks in between. One of my next years goals is to get 21 consecutive at this weight. I remember that 95# used to feel this heavy or worse.

I tried it, and then had to modify. I did 7 of the thrusters as rx'd, then stopped because of my knee pain. I probably could've pushed through with the WOD, but decided against it and for letting my knee rest a little more.

Instead, I did:

3+4+5+6+7 (25 reps total of each exercise) of:
155lb CJ
205lb Bench

Total time: 25:xx (Pretty slow and could have gone faster, but my toes were numb from the cold floor.)

Then, afterwards, I did 21 K2E and then started experimenting with inverted ring hangs. Basically, it's a knee to elbow, but you kick at the end and touch the ceiling with your toes and hang there as long as you can. That was a good stomach workout...I did a total of probably 50-60 seconds on 3-4 attempts. My first attempt was the longest (20 seconds or so...the rest were all around 10-12 seconds).
