Benchmark month
So, at our gym, we have deemed August as a sort of benchmark month, where every day we will be doing a benchmark WOD. At first, I have to admit, I thought it was silly, but after doing a few of “the girls,” I am having a blast. I’ve never really had the chance to do these benchmark WODs, so the fact that I am doing them now will allow me to establish my times for each and then go back in a few months and compare! Instead of just doing a few, I can see how I am doing for all of them.
So far:
Angie
- 100 pullups
- 100 pushups
- 100 situps
- 100 squats
Griff
- Run 800m
- Run 400m backwards
- Repeat
Elizabeth
- 21-15-9 of
- 135lb squat clean
- Ring dips
Elizabeth was tough, since those cleans are only 10lbs over body weight, but even still, it was great, and I’m pretty happy with my performance so far. The others were good too!
Do you like the benchmark WODs? If so, what are your favourites?
