WOD:

19.1 Complete As Many Rounds as possible in 15 Minutes of:

19 Wall Balls (20/14) Men- to a 10′ target, Ladies- to a 9 ‘ target

19 Cal Row

NOTES

The workout begins with the medicine ball on the ground and athlete standing tall. After the call of “3, 2, 1… go,” the athlete will pick up the ball and perform the wall-ball shots. After 19 reps are complete, the athlete will move to the rower and pull 19 calories. The monitor must read 19 calories before the athlete can unstrap and move back to the wall-ball shots for the next round.

The athlete’s score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 15-minute time cap. Each calorie completed on the row will be equal to 1 rep.

There is no tiebreak for this workout.

Movement Standards:

Wall Balls:

In the wall-ball shot, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the specified target.

The rep is credited when the center of the ball hits the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall, it is a “no rep.” If the ball drops to the ground from the top, it cannot be caught off the bounce to begin the next rep. The ball must settle on the ground before being picked up for the next rep.

Row:

The monitor on the rower must be set to zero at the beginning of each row. The athlete may have assistance resetting the monitor. The athlete must stay seated on the rower until the monitor reads 19 calories.

Scaling Options:

Wall Balls -> 14/10

50″ shuttle Runs

*45 Double Unders after each round

The way this works is you will do 16 shuttle runs (from start line to the 50’ mark is 1, running back to the start line is 2, and so on), then 45 double unders, then 14 shuttle runs, then 45 DUS, etc… until you finish 45 double unders after the round of 8 shuttle runs.
