Fitness-8/12-"Fight Gone Bad Unbroken"

Wednesday WOD

Went after another FGB prep wod today. Our agenda today was to start challenging ourselves to push through more reps unbroken and slam through our comfort zones. To do so, we went through the workout a little bit differently than normal. And you could only score reps that were unbroken. In other words, if you did 15 reps in a row of wall ball and then dropped the ball, reps after that wouldn't score unless of course you were able to string together more than 15 unbroken before the time was up in which case you'd take that higher score. Not a likely scenario. So, basically, at the start of each exercise, you were trying to go for as long as possible without stopping to get the highest score possible. I made it my goal to make it throuh each interval/exercise without stopping. "Fight Gone Bad Unbroken" looked as follows:

3 rounds, 30 seconds on/30 seconds off of each exercise, with 1 minute between each round and no extra time between exercises. Score as many unbroken reps as possible, counting calories on the rower.

-wall ball, 20#/10ft
-sumo deadlift high pull, 75#
-box jump, 24"
-push press, 85#
-row

score=289

I'm pretty stoked with this effort. I pushed through some serious walls and was able to go unbroken on every exercise, every round except for one round of box jumps. The way I was feeling and performed today, I figure I could have scored 100-125 reps higher on a full/normal FGB. Especially considering normal Rx for FGB is only 20" box and 75# push-press. I have a 400 FGB in my sights, can't wait to pull the trigger.
