WOD of the Week - "Cindy"

Ideally, this would be done today. If not, do it when you can...

"Cindy"
As Many Rounds as Possible in 20:00 of:

Pull Up X 5
Push Up X 10
Air Squat X 15

Post max rounds and fraction of rounds to "comments".

My personal best is 21 full rounds as "Rx'd" (Rx'd = as prescribed, meaning no substitutions and done with full range of motion).

Here is how it goes:
Set your timer for 20:00. 3, 2, 1, Go!
Do 5 pull ups (any style, just get chin over bar and go to full extension of elbows at the bottom)
Drop and do 10 push ups (chest to deck or 1" from deck, full extension of elbows at top)
Get up quickly and do 15 air squats (hips below knees at the bottom, hips fully extend at top)
Only stop to recover when necessary, otherwise, keep moving!

Scaling Options:
Reduce time to 15:00
Use assist on pull ups
Do modified push ups (knees on deck)

If you are capable of going full range of motion (ROM), then it is required that you do the full range of motion, or the rep does not count. Be honest! If you have a limitation/injury that prevents you from going full ROM, modify as needed.

  1. I did Cindy tonight - assisted - but in 20 mins. Never been so happy to hear an alarm. Pull ups suck!! Managed only 15 reps in the time.
