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 we should be engaging our posterior chains in a high percentage of our daily activities, but often don’t. And this WOD is purposely not super heavy or high, so while you might be tempted to “Rx+”, the real 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. 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#, 24″)
10/4/13- 11:14 (195#, 24″)
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..
