Again Faster has been challenging people to compete in an online workout series called, "Beat the Team." Every ten day period since October, Again Faster has been posting a WOD that plays to the strengths of various Again Faster-sponsored athlete. For instance, "Lipson" had a moderate weight backsquat and kettlebell swing, but the bar had to be cleaned from the ground, a light weight for Dave Lipson. "Spencer" was max weight of 20 reps of overhead squats, clearly up Spencer Hendel's wheelhouse of oly lifting. And so on...
If I had to create a "Plentus" WOD, I'd play to my strength-to-bodyweight ratio and quickness. So it would be something like:
"Annie"
50-40-30-20-10
double unders
situps
then, within 60 seconds, find a max deadlift.
Subtract your time in seconds from your deadlift (e.g. 400lbs. deadlift - 360 seconds = 40) The highest number wins.
-What would your namesake WOD be?

ReplyDeleteIn Teams of 4 Complete
400 cleans at 95/65#
20 Cargo net climbs
400 OHS at 95/65#
Reasons:
1. Team: I like working together and helping each other out
2. Cleans: I have super fast elbows (or so I am told)
3. Cargo: I am afraid of heights, but I am still pretty good at the cargo net. Conquering fears!
4. OHS: An area I have really improved in!
3, 2, 1...GO!
