Fight Gone Bad

Fight Gone Bad
This was a little different than I have seen it elsewhere, so the differences are important to note.

Wall Ball - 16lb
SDHP - 65lb
Box Jump - 24 inch
Push Press - 65 lb
Row - Calories

I do not have my card, but I finished with 300 reps.  Here are some notes:

The Wall Ball was not a Dynaball, but a smaller medicine ball that was flat on one side.  It was easier than I thought it would be, I think I finished with 35 in the first round, and close to 30 the last two rounds.

I watched the guy after me (he finished at 376), and he was a ton more efficient in his movements (SDHP and Push Press) than I was.  There would be a difference between 65 and 75 lbs for sure, especially on the push press.  I really need to get more explosive through these two movements, and I think I can churn out more reps.

The 24 inch box jumps are absolutely killer.  The difference between 22 (I believe that is RX) and 24 is very significant.

I dogged the Row, which was last, that is to say it was more of an active rest in the first two rounds.  I think I finished 13 or 12 calories, which is weak, but I did this on purpose, and I think it worked.  The last round I was all out and finished with 16.  Other than the Row, I think I pushed myself pretty hard throughout the workout.

In a nutshell, I would have preferred to do this closer to RX, just to be on the same level as everyone else.  I need to get more efficient in the SDHP and Push Press, in order to get to 350.  I would love to try this at a 22 inch box jump, as they were a big hole in all my rounds.  Wall ball was unexpectedly my best movement.
