So often we get too caught up in making sure we’re using a wide variety of equipment in a WOD.  Sometimes it just makes sense to keep it simple.  Today, the only thing you need is a plate and some space on the floor (preferably a 40’ section).

Warmup:

Grab plate (15/10)

2 Rounds:

10 Plate Ground to OH

10 Plate around the worlds per side

10 Squats w/plate out front

5 Burpee to Plate

WOD:

5 Rounds:

40′ Plate Suitcase Carry R-Hand (45/25)

40′ Plate Suitcase Carry L-Hand

30 Plate Ground to Overhead

10 Burpee to Plate

 

*Bear Hug plate to hold

Cool Down:

Barbell rollout on forearm – 1 Min per side

 

Spider-Man Lunge hold w/foot elevated on plate – 1 Min per side
