Looking for a WOD? I am going to do "Linda" in am; 3 Bars of Death. Want to to do it too? Virtual Competition?
Of course I accepted the challenge and now I have no thumbs!!!
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 of
1.5x BW Deadlift (210 lbs)1x BW Benchpress (140 lbs)
.75 BW Clean (105 lbs)
Time=33:05
I have no thumbs because the "Hook Grip" is my new best friend. The "Hook Grip" for those who do not know is a way to use friction on your thumb in an attempt to keep the bar from slipping out of your hand secondary to weak grip strength. Basically smash your thumb in between the bar and your fingers for 55reps of 210# Deads. The Cleans are what slowed me down. Everything for me was broken up until the round of 4s and down. I actually liked this one and can see myself have a faster time next time as I know what to expect and how I should conserve as much energy for the next exercise.
One thing is for sure I got some weird looks as I was setting up for this one. I thought for sure I was going to get called out on monopolizing 3bars, but I did not. One guy actually watched me the whole 33min. I do not know if he was amazed at what I was doing, waiting to see if I would actually hurt myself or if he thought I was plain dumb. Pretty exciting if you ask me.
