We first met Jackie in October, then visited her again for Thanksgiving. Today Jackie is getting a jolly makeover. You will complete the same number of total reps as the full benchmark workout, but we will be breaking the rowing, thrusters, and pull-ups into rounds instead of completing them all at one time. I think you’ll find this version easier than the original, but try them both and find out for yourself!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Jolly Jackie
Rx:
5 rounds for time:
200 meter row
10 thrusters (45lb, 35lb)
6 pull-ups
If barbells aren’t your thing or you are newer to working out, please substitute dumbbell thrusters for the barbell thrusters, and instead of pull-ups, try ring rows or one of the many other scaled options for pull-ups. When we performed this workout on 10/7/19, the Scaled 1 version of the workout was shortened. If you want a more apple-to-apples comparison of the two workouts, reduce the number of rounds in today's workout to three. Otherwise, the structure of today’s workout might allow you to complete more repetitions than you did the first time around! A beginner’s version of Jolly Jackie could look like this:
Scaled 1:
5 rounds for time:
200 meter row
10 dumbbell thrusters (5lb, 3lb)
6 ring rows
Of course, you can choose to scale in many different ways. Another way to scale today’s WOD is shown below. Choose the modifications that work best for you!
Scaled 2:
5 rounds for time:
200 meter row
10 dumbbell thrusters (15lb, 10lb)
6 jumping pull-ups
