On October 3, 2019, we performed a chipper consisting of 50 wall balls, 50 burpees, and 50 kettlebell swings. On that day, I said it would be easier to perform these movements in five sets of 10 rather than one set of 50. Well, today we’re going to put that theory to the test! If you recorded your time on 10/3/19, see if you can beat it today!
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Rx:
5 rounds for time:
10 wall balls (20lb, 14lb)
10 burpees
10 American kettlebell swings (53lb, 35lb)
On 10/3/19, I suggested that beginners reduce the number of repetitions to 30. If you would like a direct comparison of the two workouts, reduce the number of rounds in today’s WOD to three. Otherwise, just modify the movements and the weights to see if the new rep scheme makes performing more repetitions easier. Either way, perform Russian kettlebell swings and pick a burpee modification that is right for you. Information on burpee modifications and kettlebell swings can be found in the links below. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
3 rounds for time:
10 wall balls (10lb, 10lb)
10 step-back, no push-up burpees
10 Russian KB swings (20lb, 15lb)
Many people will feel comfortable getting through all the repetitions if they simply scale the movements and the weight. Another version of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
5 rounds for time:
10 wall balls (14lb, 10lb)
10 step-back burpees
10 American KB swings (35lb, 22lb)
Your score is the amount of time it takes you to complete the WOD. If you would like, leave your score in the comment section below!
