Karen (Time)

For Time:
150 Wall-Ball Shots, 20# / 14#

The last time I did Karen was in 2017 and I used a 20# wall ball and it took me 14:26.  The goal for today was 8-12 minutes.  I was debating between a 10# or 14# wall ball and ended up splitting the difference.  I worked in sets of 15-15-15-15-15-15-10-10-10-10-10-10 and this was pretty good.  At 5 minutes I was 90 reps in and working very smoothly and methodically.  I finished in 9:13.

Finished with foam rolling and some kip swings.  My back felt really good for the entire workout.
