Fight Gone Bad!

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We've used this in 3 and 5 round versions. The stations are:

1. Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
2. Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
3. Box Jump: 20" box (Reps)
4. Push-press: 75 pounds (Reps)
5. Row: calories (Calories)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

As opposed to two weeks ago, when I just tried to hit as many in the first round as I could, I went into this one with a very specific plan: 125/100/75 = 300. I did about twenty points better than last week, but was still 12 points off my PR, well below 300, and pushed myself harder than I think I've ever pushed in a FGB before.

Mostly it's deconditioning, I think - I got that 276 right after Games training, when I was the fittest I've ever been. It's sad to see the numbers go down. I also just blew myself out in the first round, and was miserable afterward. I don't know how else to do it, but next time I might shoot for an even 100/100/100 and see what happens.
