FGB..enough said. This WOD is one of my least proficient workouts, and one of the ones I want to get better at the most! Yesterday I partook in a friendly challenge of FGB. The workout consists of  5 movements-Push Press(75#), Box Jumps (20"), SDHP(75#), WallBall(20#), and Row for calories.You spend 1 minute at each station collecting as many reps in that minute that you can, transitioning from movement to movement with no rest. When you are done with the 5th movement, you have 1 minute rest before you start the cycle all over again. You do 3 rounds of this, trying to get as many reps as possible total...your score is total number of reps completed. Yesterday I had no "GAME PLAN", just do work. I had lots of encouragement throughout the entire WOD, but none like the very last movement, which was rowing for me, when I heard these words..."You can do anything for 1 minute", and "Just close your eyes, you don't need to see the clock, I will tell you when you are done"! With every rip of the handle on the C2, my legs engorged with lactic acid, my chest cavity cramped from the repetitive gasping of air, and my stomach churned the recent eggs and toast I had ate prior to my fight. My actual time on the rower the last round was closer to 50 seconds because of transition time, and I was able to pull 22 calories on the C2...which was brutal to say the least. I roll off of my rower, on my hands and knees in the classic " just got my ass whipped in a WOD pose" trying to catch my breath. Somewhere in the midst of gasping for air, my Thorasic spine got out of whack and now I have a big ol' catch between my shoulders...uggh. Boy does it feel good to finally PR on this WOD!
