[Notes: Bring a digital watch or a watch with a second hand. Write down the exact time you start the first round. At the end of the first round, note the exact time. Start the second round exactly three minutes later, etc. Your log may look something like this:

6:25:42 (end round 1)

6:33:50 (end round 2)

Etc.

Your total time is the lapsed time from when you start round 1 to when you finish round 5. Your work time is your total time MINUS 12 minutes (spent resting after rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4)

Congrats to Coach Tom, who recently competed in the 2nd Annual Hoboken Pump and Run fundraiser: “It began with a max-reps bench press @ 145lbs for men 18-39 capped at a max of 45 reps. For each rep you completed they took 15 seconds off of your 5k time. Lowest overall time wins. I completed 37 reps and ran my 5k in 19:05. I came in fourth in my age group and sixth overall.”

Here’s what’s on tap for Saturday’s Beginner WOD classes at HR:20:

A: Russian gymnastics warm-up

B: “Fight Gone Bad”
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20#/14# ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75#/55# (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75#/55# (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points and post them to comments.
