WOD = Workout from HELL
>> Monday, May 18, 2009
I'm calling it now.
I haven't even tried it, but I already know it's going to suck.
I'll be leaving in about 45 minutes to do the WOD for CrossFit and
it's.going.to.kick.my.ass.
I might be puking tonight.
Here's what it calls for:
1/2 body weight bench press - 20 reps
500 meter row
1/2 body weight bench press - 10 reps
1000 meter row
1/2 body weight bench press - 5 reps
2000 meter row
I'm not even sure if I can bench press 1/2 my weight - i.e. 65 pounds so I plan to just do as much as possible.
Oh man. Mom, I think my tummy is upset, I can't go to school er, I mean, the gym tonight.
Oh no, wait, that's AFTERWARDS that I'll be barfing, not before.
I'll update tonight when I get back...
****UPDATE****
I'm back from the workout and yes, it kicked butt. We did have to tweak it a bit though b/c Monday night at the gym is insane... lots of people and lots of meat heads. Since the workout called for a bench press and a circuit (meaning we'd start and stop using the bench all while expecting others to wait for us to finish).
So, we decided to modify the workout slightly- instead of a bench press, I did push-ups and I did 30, 20, then 10 reps. Doesn't sound like a lot of push-ups, but after rowing 500, 1000, and 2000 meters, my arms were pretty fatigued.
I am proud to report that I did not stop during any of the row intervals; I was able to complete all 2000 meters during that last round without stopping. It wasn't easy, but gosh darnit, I just kept pressing on, pressing on.
My time for the entire workout was 21:25! I was D-renched when it was all said and done.
I had quite the adrenaline rush when it was over though... it was such an energizing workout for some reason. I felt pumped when I was done.
