Christine
A big part of the challenge of Christine is the continual hammering on your posterior chain as you move from one movement to the next. This is a great training stimulus because weĀ should be engaging our posterior chains in a high percentage of our daily activities, but often don’t. Ā And this WOD is purposely not super heavy or high, so while you might be tempted to “Rx+”, theĀ realĀ challenge is to go unbroken on all of your movements, not take breaks as your transition and to really push the pace, especially with the row. Ā Even if you’ve Rx+ed this workout before, I implore you to not take it beyond the intended Rx for a truly great experience.
Push VT
EMOM 20
WOD
Christine
3 rounds
500m row
12 bw deadlifts
21 box jumps (20″)
Volume Training: 3 ring dips OTM, switched to 2 at the 12 minute mark.
Christine: 11:58 rx @ 138#. 27 seconds slower than last time. I had mixed feelings about doing this since I’m pretty sure I’m doing it again later this week, so my head wasn’t in the game. I broke up my first set of deadlifts ’cause I was winded from the row, then stopped to tie my shoe, then stopped again to get a drink of water… it was pretty much a shit show.
VT: 3 pushups to 20″ box for the first ten minutes, 4s and 3s for the next.
Christine: 15:41, almost thirty seconds slower than last time.
(DL: 115#
BJ: 2 green agros)
VT: 3 strict HSPU/min. Completed!
Christine:
4/12/13- 12:02 (195#, 24ā³)
10/4/13- 11:14 (195#, 24ā³)
Today- 10:46 (205#, 20″)
There’s some inconsistency as to what the “RX” box height is. Some sites say 24″/20″ and others 20″. We must find Christine and ask her!
oh heyyyy GAINZ!
(myWOD app says 20″ for all humans)
No VT for me. I saw Amos being a gangsta doing one Arm push-ups thought.
Christine:
Feb 7th 11:19RX – (185#)
October 4th – 10:38RX
Today 10:45RX? I forgot. ( should of wrote it down)
VT: 5 push ups/minute. I should switch to box dips or push ups to rings
Christine: 12:03 Rx (155#). My previous time from February was 10:53 at 135#, so I feel like I was probably dogging it a bit in the heat today.
Christine: 13:06 rx @ 115# (37 second PR with the same bw deads last time)
Will make up VT today with ring dips – had to jet last night to watch the Bruins make me sad..
