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.
