This is killing me. I can't wait until I'm 100 percent again.
On the plus side, the metcon was something I could (sort of) do!
For time:
- 240-meter farmer's walk (24kg / 16kg in each hand)
- 45 wallballs (20lbs / 14lbs)
- 240-meter farmer's walk (24kg / 16kg in each hand)
- 45 burpees
I used the RXed weights, but to spare my groin, Tim suggested a couple of modifications: (1) I didn't fully squat at the bottom of each wallball rep -- I did 'em push-press-style instead; and (2) I did straight-leg burpees, meaning I popped up out of the push-ups without bending my knees.
Despite the scaled ROM, this was no joke. The farmer's walks were murder on my forearms, and by the end, I was setting the kettlebells down after every 30 or 40 steps. And the push-press wallballs were fast but challenging, too. The burpees, though, were by far the toughest for me; repeatedly jumping my feet to my hands to pike up from plank position kicked my ass. My hip flexors aren't going to like me very much tomorrow morning.
Still: It was a wicked good time.
Result: 14:04 (RXed weights, but modified range of motion)
