CrossFit GonzStrong – CrossFit

Cannon Ball (Time)

“Cannonball”

5 Rounds:

21/15 Calorie Row

15 Box Jump Overs (24″/20″)

7 Squat Cleans (155 / 105 lb)
Stimulus

– Conditioning Category: Threshold

– Looking at the mid-teens for a finish time here.

– Stimulus calls for a moderate-to-heavier barbell load, one that we could cycle for 10+ reps unbroken when fresh.

– We often talk through pacing the monostructural movement in a workout (which today would be the row), but the barbell here is a slightly heavier than “normal”. This is a great focus for the day… managing the volume consistently at this load.

Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. The only movement we are likely to stop forward progress in this workout is on the squat cleans.

2. Pace the row and box jump overs so that we can excel on the barbell.

3. Can go small sets on the bar but quick singles will likely be more sustainable.

4. Treat the first 2 rounds as the buy-in with the last 3 being the workout.
