1. Getting out of bed for 5am class

@saraila Kalsu.

@saraila Kalsu, an OG CrossFit Football workout.

Any other answer is wrong. And you know it.

 

[remiirekiigbe]

@saraila The 7, King Kong and hot shots 19!! There was one named fight club that was awful as well.

 

[leona]

@remiirekiigbe King Kong is a blast, just has a “high barrier of entry” with the Rx weights

 

[stillsearchinggod]

@leona As a small person, the movements look like:

• Literally impossible
• Easy
• Literally impossible
• Easy

 

[remiirekiigbe]

@leona I had the weights down, it was the MU that took me time to get

 

[patim22]

@remiirekiigbe King Kong is pretty short and super fun. The weights are just too high for a lot of people to even complete it, but if you’re capable of lifting the weight I wouldn’t classify it as a “hard” workout.

@remiirekiigbe I saw king Kong a month into crossfit and was so fixated(and skinny). Took me about 5 years to get there, and it was so rewarding when I did.

@remiirekiigbe I remember doing the Fight Club challenge from Comptrain and it was pretty bad.

@saraila The Travis Manion hero wod seems like torture (“Manion”)

400 meter run

29 back squats (135/95lbs)

7 rounds for time

 

[jesusophile]

@liberalchristian1980 Nah that’s easy it’ll just take me 3 hours!

 

[adirtuval]

@liberalchristian1980 Love squat focused WODs didn’t know about this one. On that note, I repeat these at least once a year:

• Alexander
  5 rounds

31 back squat 135 lbs

12 power cleans 185 lbs

• Bruck
  4 rounds

400 m run

24 back squats 185 lbs

24 push jerk 135 lbs

 

[val21]

@liberalchristian1980 It’s clearly one to “game” but the workout is the 203 back squats, the 400m run is the “recovery”. However it’s definitely not going to be done sub 60 minutes for the average CFer.

 

[10trouble13]

@liberalchristian1980 I’ve done that one before, back when I was repping 405. Never again.

 

[1corithians13]

@saraila 16.1 underrated HORRIBLE 20 min of suffering.

 

[graceforyou]

@1corithians13 Yes 16.1 was rough, no place to hide if you wanted a half way decent score. 2016 was a tough year with 16.5 as well (14.5 repeat)

 

[ezie]

@saraila edit: missed on first pass where you said benchmark but...

50 man makers for time (50lbs) with an 800m run cash-out is one of the worst workouts ive ever done.

 

[saraila]

@ezie Ohh...those look wicked...thank you

 

[jesusrawkz]

@saraila double DT and heavy DT
