Give it an Olympic “tri”
Before After
For those of you who don’t know, Mel and Niki competed and completed their first Olympic distance triathlon this weekend. Give them a high five if you see them.
Back to business; we’re switching the order of things around and giving you a good workout to bite into first. The elements are simple so you can push your limits and finish before the eight-minute time cap. The wall balls, kettlebell swings, and toes to bar will get you nice and warmed up to lift.
The strength is a combination of front squats and a split jerk. Whether you are limited by your front squats or your jerk make sure to respect your limitations on either lift.
WOD:
5 Rounds
10 Wall balls (20/14)
10 Kettlebell swings (53/35)
10 Toes to bar
*8 min cap
Strength:
3 Front squats + 1 split jerk
7:15, 10# / 35# / Ab mat sit-ups
115# max
WOD: 4+21 @ 20#, 44#
STR:150#
WOD: 4 + 24; 20# ball, 1.5Pd kettlebell, knees-to-cough-mumble
STR: 145# (PR for split jerks!)
Was feeling great in the WOD up until set 4, at which point things got real ugly real fast. I think I might have done better if I’d gone for a jog around the bock first to get warmed up a little more.
