1200

Crossover Symmetry

Metcon (Times)

Every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes (6 sets) for times:

10 Strict Pull-Ups

15 Toes to Bar

20 Push-Ups

25 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lbs)

Please note times for each set. Your goal is to improve consistency across the six sets, and lower total times – the score is the sum of your six sets times.

I scaled this to

6 strict pull-ups

12 abmat sit-ups

16 push-ups

20 wbs (14#)

It was a tough workout.  I was originally planning 80% volume, but 8 pull-ups was not happening.  I came out of the gate hot and slowed down considerably.

Round 1 - 2:40

Round 2 - 2:38

Round 3 - 2:53

Round 4 - 3:09

Round 5 - 3:19

Round 6 - 3:42

18:21

Pull-ups started 4/1/1 and finished 3/1/1/1

situps were unbroken

push-ups started 10/3/3 and ended 8/4/2/2

wall ball shots were 10/10 although the last two rounds were a real exercise in mental toughness.

Overall a good workout and scaled correctly.  Had, I been at CFG, I would have probably pushed for more complete rounds out of the gate and ended up at a similar spot.  For example 5 pull-ups, 10 kipping leg raise, 15 push-ups and 20 wall ball shots.

Ratna worked out with me using the 6# wall ball. On an equipment note, I did hang up the rings and grabbed my weighted vest out of the basement to use when I want to go bodyweight+.
