On Wednesday, I visited yet another local affiliate, CrossFit Milwaukee. It's in an ideal spot, near the UW Milwaukee campus and it seems to be a well-oiled machine run by Ryan Atkins. I contacted Ryan last week to introduce myself -- he was more than welcoming and a genuine guy with a great operation. I hope to be able to talk more with him and the other members there as well. We're all CrossFitters, regardless of what gym we work out at.
Unfortunately for me, I had to hop in with the 6:30 group, who all just graduated the OnRamp program this week. So they didn't do any skill work, which was fine because I actually did a bit of SDHP before this crazy and well-known WOD:
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
Add your points and that is the total.
I got 380 points, a new PR by 7 reps! I'm determined to get 400 + next time I do this. A great, classic workout that I really enjoyed.
Thanks to CF Milwaukee for being hospitable.
Best,
Tyler
