A Recent History Of Heinous Wodapalooza Workouts
From "Beauty & The Beast" to "Assault On Fran," we've seen some heinous workouts brought to life before the masses at Wodapalooza.
From "Beauty & The Beast" to the "Snatch Medley," we've seen some heinous workout concoctions brought to life before the masses at Wodapalooza, and 2018 won't be any different.
Here are some of our favorite workouts, scaled for the elite division, from recent Wodapaloozas:
1) Assault On Fran | 2017
... more like "Assault On Your Soul And Everything Else." This one's relatively simple, but a deceptive burner.
21-15-9 Reps
Complete for time:
Thrusters (115/85 lbs)
Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
Assault Bike (Calories)
2) Beauty & The Beast | 2017
If this monster doesn't make you go weak at the knees looking at it, it certainly will once you get into the "Beast" portion...
"Beauty"
Complete for time:
30 Clean and Jerks (225/155)
*6-min. time cap
At minute 6, begin...
"Beast"
Complete for time:
36 Strict Handstand Push-ups
36 Calorie Row
24 Axel Hang Power Snatches (115, 80)
24 Bar Facing Burpees
12 OH Squats (225, 155)
12 Bar Muscle-ups
*6:00- to 16:00-min. time cap
3) WZA Triathlon | 2016
Although WZA changed the format from Run-SUP-Swim to Run-Swim-Run the day of the competition, it still proved mighty challenging for those who hadn't adapted to swimming in open water.
400m Swim
1200m Trueform Run
400m Swim
4) Snatch Medley | 2016
Although a word like "Medley" might make this one sound whimsical and breezy, trust us—it's anything but (see the "bonus" below).
For time:
1 snatch
1000m row
2 snatches
200 double unders
3 snatches
30 ring muscle ups
*Bonus: Athletes decided what weight they used in the single, double, and triple snatches; the total weight lifted was a separately scored event.
Obviously, this isn't a definitive list, and certainly subjective. What are your favorite workouts from Wodapaloozas past? Let us know, or engage Armen in friendly debate when you see him strutting his stuff around Miami this weekend.
