Interesting WOD observations.
This workout was done at the 2010 CrossFit Games with athletes having 90 seconds after completing it to knock out a 1 rep max ground to overhead.
The descending rep scheme also has the numbers reversed i.e. 63 kbs = 36 pull-up 42 kbs = 24 pull-ups. ? significance.
You’ll be building strength, stamina and endurance with this workout. You may feel like quitting. I had a moment. You won’t though and stronger than yesterday you shall become!
It’ll be a good one.
