So I had been formulating some stuff in my head all day in regards to a fun backyard WOD I could do at my house with basically just a jump rope and some 35 lb dumbbells I have.. nothing else. I was thinking either a chipper or something for max reps. I decided in the spirit of FGB coming up, I would do something on the same exact time domain but flop around the exercises with some new stuff I could easily do outside the gym.
I called up Ryan and Stacey and we ended up going to the outdoor field at the Y in Newton, and after a couple minutes of discussion, "Y Gone Bad" was born.
WOD - "Y Gone Bad"
3 Rounds:
1 Minute at each station for max reps
1 minute rest between the rounds.
Sit Ups
Double Unders
Renegade Rows (35#)
Overhead walking lunge (50#) (thank you to whoever left the random weights on the field)
Burpees
This was fun.. Nice sunny day out, good sweaty WOD, some funny looks from the people walking the track. Mission accomplished. Double Unders didn't go all that well today (shoes kept coming untied, RAWR). But everything else was pretty good.
I think my breakdown for reps in each minute was something like:
Sit ups - 31, 31, 31 (held this pace and wouldn't let myself slow it down, especially since it was the exercise right after resting)
Double Unders - 32, 24 (ugh), 30
Renegade Rows - 24, 20, 20
Overhead Walking Lunge (steps taken) - 30, 28, 28
Burpees - 20, 18, 17
For the most part I was able to hold constant on everything, with some slight downslope, but the double unders were the only part that really annoyed me. Everything else you just had to shut your eyes and keep moving until the bell rang.
