11 x GHD sit-ups or regular sit-ups with 20 lbs. medicine ball

Sit-ups w/ 20 lbs. med ball

Welcome back from the long weekend!
Today's WOD -
500 x double-unders for time!!!
Yep, that's it!
If you haven't mastered double-unders, you have a few options:
1) 1,500 single-unders for time (3:1 for one substitution)
2) Spend the time working on double-unders. With double-unders PRACTICE is the ONLY known way to get better!!!!! You should incorporate D/Us into your daily warm-up.

Today, in honor of all our past, present, and future veterans, we are doing the "WOD for Warriors" - grab a partner and let's do this! I've slightly modified the WOD to better fit our set-up in Arvin.
WOD for Warriors
1- Burpees
2- Double-unders OR Tuck Jumps
3- Handstand Push-ups - sub = feet elevated push-ups
4- Ring dips
5- Sit-ups
6- Air Squats
7- Deadlift (135/95)
8- Pullups (any type)
9- Press (45/25 plates) - grab a plate (non-bumper is easier), press it overhead without knee bend or hip drive (like a Shoulder Press, not a Push Press)
10- Jumping Lunges
11- 11 meter fireman's carry - depends on space - likely do these in hallway
WOD for Warriors
11 Rounds:
11 Exercises
11 Reps each
Executed with a partner
11 Exercises
11 Reps each
Executed with a partner
Exercise sequence (do 11 reps of each exercise and alternate w/ partner so Person A works and Person B rests):
1- Burpees
2- Double-unders OR Tuck Jumps
3- Handstand Push-ups - sub = feet elevated push-ups
4- Ring dips
5- Sit-ups
6- Air Squats
7- Deadlift (135/95)
8- Pullups (any type)
9- Press (45/25 plates) - grab a plate (non-bumper is easier), press it overhead without knee bend or hip drive (like a Shoulder Press, not a Push Press)
10- Jumping Lunges
11- 11 meter fireman's carry - depends on space - likely do these in hallway
Details: A two person team will have one member working at all times. #1 begins with burpees, once complete, #2 executes double-unders/tuck jump, once complete, #1 executes HSPU then #2 executes Ring Dips, and so forth. Since there an odd number of exercises, the second time through, #2 will start burpees, #1 will do tuck jumps, etc. The idea is a quick and even work-rest cycle, high intensity, giving it our all to honor our Veterans, and improving our ability to move more further faster!
NOTE: If you have to take-off prior to finishing because of formation, etc., post number of rounds and time completed.

Great effort by the Black and Gold CrossFit team in their throw down with Air Force! Despite a solid effort by all, the Zoomies edged us out on some skill stuff (double-unders, muscle-ups, etc.) and claimed the victory. Air Force now leads the series 2-1, but next year we will host the event and even the score! Great work by the team and thanks for representing B&G and WP at USAFA.
For today's WOD, we will do an AMRAP 5, rest for 5 minutes, and repeat the AMRAP 5.
AMRAP 5:
5 x ring rows
7 x ring dips
9 x overhead squats w/ PVC pipe
15 x double-unders (1:3 sub for single-unders = 45 s/u)
REST FOR 5 MINUTES
Repeat the AMRAP 5 as above.

First off, congrats to JC (Josh Christy) and his wife on the birth of their baby!! Awesome!
Secondly, I haven't heard how the Black and Gold CrossFit team did this weekend at Air Force. Once I get an update, I will post. I'm sure they did awesome!!!
As for the WOD, it's a bit different, but that's the point of a constantly varied work out!
Unbalanced Load - Bench Press
10-8-6-4-2 reps
Here's how it works - you pick the load you want to lift and then add an extra 2.5 lbs. to one side (so it's unbalanced!). Each round try to increase the load, ensure you alternate the side which is unbalanced, and if you feel comfortable, increase the amount of the imbalance (i.e. Round 2 you can have +5 lbs. on one side)
There is NO time component to this WOD - please be sure to use a spotter and spring clips, as even a little imbalance can be exceedingly challenging and awkward!
Post loads and unbalanced load per round to comments.
