Thursday, April 23



Who knows what the day will bring?

Well, looks like everybody took a rest day… everyone except me! Shane is probably still lying in my front lawn, further decreasing my property value, if that’s even possible? Nate say’s he did the Filthy 50, and I believe him, he likes that WOD. What he doesn’t like is posting his numbers, and leaves me that chore. Oh wait, another thing Nate doesn’t like is any WOD that requires you to lift more than 95lbs and he often comes up with some other workout that involves something like 200 kettlebell swings intermixed with Lamaze breathing techniques, yoga and leggings.

I digress however and instead of doing the Filthy 50 I did the “50 Cal.” a CFSZ original and I’d been toying around with the idea of doing it for sometime, which was a mistake. So if you want to induce stroke like symptoms in the privacy and convenience of your own garage gym, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

“50 Cal.”

5 Rounds for time of:
Max rep Ring Dips
Row for Calories

***Each round followed by 3 minutes of rest***

Start with the number 50 and subtract your max ring dip reps. This new number will be the calories you must row in order to end the round, both numbers combined totaling 50. Note reps, calories and time for each round.

Jacob
Round 1: 1:16 30RD/20 Cal.
Round 2: 1:35 20RD/30 Cal.
Round 3: 1:35 23RD/27 Cal.
Round 4: 1:41 21RD/29 Cal.
Round 5: 2:14 14RD/36 Cal.

Over all this WOD was more painful then Barbara by a long shot. I made the mistake of taking only 1 minute of rest between the first and second round and feel I paid for it dearly in the end, as you can see.

The Filthy 50

For time:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box
50 Jumping pull-ups
50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press, 45 pounds
50 Back extensions
50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
50 Burpees
50 Double unders (Singles)

Nate 24:46 (PR)

Shane 35:58

Hey Jacob-

Interesting WOD today. What kind of calorie numbers did you end up rowing?

Jacob, Are you kidding? This is Elgin, and in Elgin the amount of bums and people lying in your front lawn is directly proportional to your property value...That is if you add up the street value of all the crack rocks in their pocket...
