A Guest Challenger (and a great CrossFit buddy)

Rob and I have been doing this challenge for 15 weeks now. Thus far, we have targeted many of our weakness; we even threw some of our strengths in there...just enough for a well-needed ego-boost every now and then. The challenges have becoming more difficult to program--we do not just want to arbitrarily throw a bunch of movements together, put a time/task stamp on it, and GO!

This week's challenge was offered up by a guest challenger: JB. He adopted the WOD from CrossFit New England programming and let us have it! But, of course, being the true-to-heart CrossFitter that he is, JB also participated in the challenge (and KILLED it btw!). Here is what we did:

Power Drill
Five rounds for time, with three minutes rest between each round of:
5 Handstand push-ups
10 Power Cleans, 135lbs (60kg)
20 Wall-ball shots, 20lb ball / 10-foot target
25 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood

JB's splits: 2:41; 2:58; 3:10; 3:32; 3:50...Total time: 16:11
My splits: 3:13; 3:28; 3:46; 4:00; 3:38...Total time:  18:05


Here is a short video of me getting through JBRob's Challenge:

  1. Oh btw, in the video I said the WOD was brought to us by CF Endurance...I discovered later that it was actually CF New England. Must give credit where credit is due!
