I can’t say there is a lot of advanced math involved in our sport. Counting up to 100 qualifies us for most events… That’s why I particularly like workouts where they throw in some number crunching to make the fun more memorable. Like today’s WOD inspired by CrossFit Delaware Valley and performed at our own pull-up-bar-deprived corporate gym. Due to foot traffic I had to adopt to the realities of the gym… The good news is that I only get to do bench presses and dumbbell rows at globo-gyms like this twice a year.
Strength
– Bench Press 3-2-1-1-1 [220 lbs]
Math-Powered WOD
Take your bodyweight and multiply by 2.5. This becomes your target weight. You need to distribute the target weight among the 6 exercises however you want before starting.
(My weight is 165 lbs, so the target became 415 lbs distributed as shown below.)
For time:
– 30 bench presses – 125 lbs
– 30 muscle snatches – 75 lb.
– 30 front squats – 135 lbs
– 30 bar dips – 20 lbs
– 30 dumbbell rows – 40 lbs each hand
– 800m run – 20 lbs
