Whiteboard of the Day

Today, you'll take on Karen, another classic CrossFit Benchmark.

Shoot to finish the wall-ball shots in under 10 minutes, using a load and target height that allow for 15 or more reps each minute.

Early in the workout you should be able to maintain sets of 15 or more; as you fatigue, it's okay to switch to smaller sets as long as you keep your rest breaks to 10 seconds or less.

As always, be sure to prioritize full depth and good squat technique over going for Rx'd load, target height, and/or volume.

Prepare to perform 20 unbroken reps in the warm-up to ensure appropriate scaling for the workout.

If you aren't past the 75-rep mark in the first 4:30, reduce the overall volume of reps so that you can perform smaller sets with the intended short rest breaks and still finish within the intended stimulus of the workout.
