Single-unders AND Rx+ reps both scale to 75-60-45-30-15 reps, respectively.

“23.Sandy”
Complete as many Rounds/Reps as possible (AMRAP) in 14:00 of
60kcal Row
50 x Toes-to-Bar
40 x Burpee Sandball Deadlift (60/40lbs)
30 x Power Cleans (135/95lbs)
20 x Ring Muscle-ups
Notes:
- Global volume for scaling approach today would guide newer athletes towards a 12-14:00 time capped iteration at 50,40,30,20,10 kcal/reps, respectively.
- Toes-to-Bar is 1:1 for Knee Raises or Supine Leg Raises.
- Scale load as needed for the Sandball and Power Clean movements.
- Scale the Muscle-ups to 1:1 for Jumping, banded, or Glide Kip applications, 2:1 for Pull-ups and Ring Rows. The MetCon encourages kipping, it is not necessary to perform these movements strict as we did in the Impact/Focus above.
- Some Addiontal notes of interest: Live experiments will include the Burpee to Sandball Front Squat (Squat Clean implied or not here) and an Over the Shoulder add-on for a joy multiplier. Ideal mechanics and midline stability during the odd object lift needs to be prime to allow engaging on the Power Clean task with proper movement… ie; the true priority before everyone’s favorite distraction: Intensity.

“Karen”
Complete for time
150 x Wallball (20/14lbs)
Notes:
This is a Benchmark workout today.
Log this benchmark score for comparison to future attempts.
Scaling will be covered during whiteboard brief… ok, scaling spoilers for newer athletes are 50, 75 or 100 rep volumes assigned with the priority on movement quality; lighter Wallball’s and adjusted target objectives will be applied as needed. There should be no filter on intensity after movement patterns are primed and ready for today’s grind, bring the lumber, Ninjas.
Post times to comments.
*Time permitting options for either the following Skill/Open WOD or a ROMWOD are as follows:
“21.1 Taste Test: A Post WOD Skill, Accessory & Funtime”
Rest as needed before working through the post WOD training; efforts may be towards Skill Training and Quality movement or athletes may pursue efforts to compare with old open PRs as their gas tanks permit (ideally rest 3/4:1 or 1:1 for what Karen took, time permitting in class formats, before charging into the ten minute piece).
10-12 minute AMRAP of
Reverse Burpees, Wall Walks or Inchworms + Push-up (select 1)
x 3,6,9…21 (+3 per round)
Double-under/Single-under Ladder x 10-30-60…210 (+30 per round)
Notes: *Coach’s may snake a third movement into the mix or modify as needed if there seems to be any lack of fun. This is a reservoir for post Benchmark “Karen” rage and an opportunity to touch on some skills while still warm with the time to apply new cues and fundamentals. It’s not trauma bonding, it’s Happy Open Season!
