We've done this last year, and I think it's one of the deceivingly hardest workouts in the history of the world. There are quite a few videos on the interweb of it too if you want to google it up for a preview.

Chris P. said...

that was about a year ago? wow.

I posted this last time, but:
Freddy Camacho is one of the CF originals. This WOD was designed with his strengths in mind. Ironically, when they first did it, a bunch of other dudes beat him because of raw power and efficient mechanics.

I remember a video of P.Lentus doing this one...or am I confusing it with something else?

This one was absolutely harder than it looked....way to fight through, 6am'ers. We got through it together then still had enough in the tank for 5 minutes of "CINDY"....awesome!!!

Aimee Lyons said...

Wow! what a 6 am crew! Great work!

P- the journal article is also linked up in the heading, I'm assuming it's the same one...(without looking)

Nina- Cate and I did this a few days ago, you got us by a second- we tied at 8:50!!! Awesome work girl!

Nina said...

Ha Aimee, that's funny you say that cause Vinny almost wrote 8:50 on the wall and I corrected him cause when I dropped that bar and looked at the clock it was definately 8:49! Nice work to you and Cate as well! Spicey!

Chris P. said...

you're right Donk, I did this one and it beat me up. Those PJ's get heaaaavy

Charles said...

What percentage of your 1RM should you scale this to?

Aimee Lyons said...

Charles- I'd work at about 75% or above of your 1RM. But everyone is slightly different so it's hard to do an exact percentage for all athletes.

I worked at 92% of my 1 RM when I did this...

Nina- I sure hope you finished your burpees after you dropped your bar...LOL :) Looks like we need a 3 way face off on this WOD next time!

Jason Lyons said...

Nice catch Aimee...I was just going to post the same thing.

jason

Nina said...

bahaha I did ..the getting up part I meant, I did my fastest burpees in the last round to get that ish done.. I was chasing your times from last year! Even though last year it looks like it was taken from the rack? Maybe not in all cases?

Charles said...

Yeah, it was taken from the wrack last year, at least in my case. And I think that it was in the freddy video too.

Drew said...

But the cleans make it more fun...

Jason Lyons said...

from the floor is better because you are less tempted to put it down. however, in the initial workout, i am pretty sure it was off of a rack

Denise said...

Danny - can we synchronize our burpees again?

Danny said...

Denise- Of course, did you even have to ask?

Stephanie Vincent said...

looks like last year the womans weight was 120 and 125 this year?

I remember this workout (we did take it from the rack)- I had to scale down to 95 after the first few reps.

Cate said...

Andrea 12:22 (35)
Anja 9:16 (35)
Keith DNF
Kevin B 11:54 (165/155)
Susan 8:35 (85/75)

The nooners took it from the ground.

Chris P. said...

Hmmm, should be from the rack, but size of class will determine that one

Aimee Lyons said...

Yes. Sb from the rack.... But the floor gives extra work on the clean. Quick note to everyone the new yokes are also racks!
