Known throughout the CrossFit community, "Linda" is about as bad as any WOD can get. Last weekend, I saw a gym buddy of mine attempt her and I thought to myself that I have to try it.

I was stressed out a bit today with things, so this helped to take my mind off things. Incredible workout! This WOD consists of the following:
Reps of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of the following exercises (must complete all three before moving on to next rep #):
Bench press (your bodyweight) - I benched 210 lbs
Deadlift (1.5x your bodyweight) - I DL'd 315 lbs
Squat clean (.75x your bodyweight) - I cleaned 155 lbs
