This is great news!

did walking lunges

12 steps, and 8# abs

4:00 50#

4:39, 460m, 2x5 gallons of water. Then 10 rounds of 5 second descent handstands and 6 pistols each round.

A) yes. From center of gym out to 63rd and back 3:30ish b)...now I can barely type this my forearms/hands hurt so bad! Even used hook grip. Don’t have it in me to try the 55s today. Will practice handstands with nephew later. 

I was out of town the day of this WOD. I am completing these on Rest Days. Thus I completed this today, Thursday, May 16.

A. 51lbs DBs = 138m (1 attempt until broken)
B. 400m = 31lbs DBs (1 attempt unbroken)

I may have been able to go slightly heavier on the 400m. Rest between carry attempts was 4-5 minutes. Rest between B and handstands was maybe 10-12 minutes (had to clean up outside).

400 meters 
50 lbs. dumbbells 

35# for 400 is my max and all that I tried. Didn’t drop the dbs but had to test them on quads a few times

A : 200m with jugs full of water @22kg each then finsihed the 400m in 4 sets.
B : Didn't try to unload the jugs to figure out how much can I carry during 400m...
Practice handstand descent with 10 sets of 3 Pike push ups / 15 secs Tripod position hold

Even if I don't win the prize, I was happy that I was able to push myself like this.

It was pouring rain today but I wanted to try this! 

Used 55# DBS and measured out 82’ inside my gym. 16x82’=1312’=400m

Tried my best to try and show measurements with a tape measurer!

Challenge accepted. Went with the heaviest dumbbells I have 55lbs. I’m not in the running for a win, and still pumped to have competed. I’ll be using more weight next time. I’ll have to duct tape on some plates. https://youtu.be/PRaOtLL8NJA

400m unbroken
First attempt was 50 lbs in around 3 minutes. Rolled out my forearms and tried again with 60 lbs DBs and did it in 2:36. Had more fun than I thought I would.

Decided to take this on this chilly Mothers Day morning to prove to myself that I could do it. A year ago, I think I could carry this unbroken, but not now. "They" always say to know where you are and work where you are and towards where you can go, so a year ago does not matter. Today, I did it...and I put the weights down several times (I didn't count). But what matters is I did it. My left hand was left than cooperative, but I still completed the 400 meters.

In January of this year, I started having numbness in my left-hand fingertips and electrical impulses through my wrist. The docs thought carpal tunnel and wanted surgery. I said no, I just don't feel that is the answer. It soon spread to my whole left hand and forearm, then to my right-hand fingertips and to my entire abdomen. Accompanied by other symptoms, but these seemed the most bothersome. Pursued the doctor which soon landed me with MRIs and a Spinal Tap. Turns out I have many lesions on my brain as well as C-Spine and a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Docs said that I may very well only be functioning as well as I am because I have kept my body athletic and conditioned. So. Thank you, CrossFit. 

Videos below, first one cut off and had to resend. So, not worried about prizes and such. But just that I could do it. Cassy Ray, age 35, weight 145, 50# DB's in each hand, 400 m carry. about 150m unbroken at first then several stops along the way. But. Done.  (And ignore my husband's commentary, hah)

This was fun! My favorite part was getting the DBs from the box to a track on NYC transit. Heavy dumbbells are a conversation starter on the bus, who knew!

I got 400+ meters unbroken with 50lb dumbbells.  I started on the straight part that is outside the oval, went all the way around and continued to the second set of blue arrows.  That's the best description I can give for the total distance.  Here's the video:  https://youtu.be/sT-sVeBnbYs

Gave it a try this morning.  As per usual, it was much tougher than expected.  I expected it to truly just be a test of grip, and it was that, but also a complete test of the entire body.  Ouch!

Female, 50 years old
A). 100 m is the farthest that I can go with 2x35# DBs. https://youtu.be/N1mC8DFb3rs
B). 2x25# DBs are the heaviest that I can carry for 400m (2 laps of an 1/8 mile indoor track). https://youtu.be/dDf8zBtMC9c

We overestimated ourselves. Tried to double the weight. Ben Collins, who's a world class grip sport guy, made it around 190m with 100s.

We will knock the weight down and try again another day! 

https://youtu.be/OWw5wGmeImg

Warmed up with 53lb kb, then did 70lb kb for 400meters no drop. Gonna try 88lb tomorrow. Hard to straighten fingers after. Ha ha  

As rx’d, 400 meters in 3:36 with no drops.

Did not think I would be able to get the full 400m.  Made the turn at 200m and whole body was hurting.  Grip started to go around 300m, so I bent over and rested the dumbbells on my thighs to get a better grip.  This gave me a little bit of new life, but I had to do this multiple times down the last 100m stretch.  Forearms were dying afterwards!

Heaviest DB pair I have is 30#. With 30#, I completed 200m, then 100, 50, 50. Tried again with pair of 25# DB and completed 200m, then 100, 100. My grip was toast after that so I ran 4x400m, then completed 10 min of HS practice.

4:31. Dropped 3 times 

Went for a walk outside in the rain with two dumbbells (2x22.5kg). One stop and 4:02 min later it was over. Fun and different. 

humbling ! 3:24 & 250meters with 50lbs. 

A: 200 m
B: so.......made it 325 meters and dropped 25#s.  Was smoked from carrying the 50s 400 meters.  Since I didn't make it with the 25s, did a 3rd 400 meters with 15s.

Did handstand descents for 10 minutes.  Starting to figure out how to shift my weight forward to slow down the descent.

For the score/YouTube submission, can it be kettlebells or must it be dumbbells? 

4:59 with 40#. Broke at 200m. Then 2 more times in the way back. 
Don’t own enough equipment to find max.

400m walk with 50#’s in ~5:50. Inside 50ft back and forth 26 times. No hook grip. 

250m with 50lbs
Then I finished the 400m for time, taking me a total of 5min 14sec dropping only two more times.

There’s no way I could have retested finding the weight I could do 400m unbroken.

Made it 100m Rx (35# DBs). 
Then about 50-60m each time. Total was more like 480m with the walk from the house to the road & back. My left hand was definitely the weakest link! 

At the 200m mark passed a neighbor out with his dog and he said “that’s too much weight to be carrying especially this far.” 🤔

Intended Stimulus
.
Remember one of CrossFit's ways of defining functional movement is this: move large loads long distances and quickly. Today's workout is a testament to that. Approach this as the challenge that it is. How far can you go? The result does not matter in itself. We just want to see where you are, set up a baseline and move from there. If you cannot complete the 400m, finish your lap and then move to B. I invite all athletes to try this with the prescribed weights if possible. Athletes for whom the distance will be a challenge in itself should cut the distance in half and still try it weighted. Options for negatives to follow.
If you are performing this on a track send us a picture!

Define walk

This looks like a really fun challenge that will be very taxing on the grip, shoulders, and core! I will have most of my athletes attempt this workout as prescribed with the 50-lb./35-lb. dumbbells. Many will not be able to achieve the full 400 meters, but it will be good to get a baseline for how long they can carry that weight. If 400 meters is not achieved in one attempt, I will still have my athletes complete the 400 meters in as few sets as possible. For further scaling, I will have athletes reduce loads to achieve 400 meters in no more than 4-5 attempts.The perfect loading will be a little bit of a guessing game, but I will use the build-up time to assess the best possible loading choices.

Globo scale...  this one is tricky as it is likely that you will not be able to take dumbbells out of your gym to do this.  The solution is to mark off 3 meters (10 
Feet)  on the floor and go back and forth 134 times (each time across is one rep).  Each time you drop or set it down do 5 burpees.  If you're in a garage gym, go to your high school track and do this, or mark off a point 200m from your garage (you should already have this for 400m runs).
Hotel gyms... see above. 

Handstand descents: sub heavy dumbbell press negatives.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT: 
This one reminds me of the 400m walking lunge workout that used to come up. The name of the game on this one will be posture; neck straight, shoulders back/palms forward, and belly tight is our best position. Use this as a test to see how miserable staying in that position can be.

I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I feel CrossFit owes me a grand after picking Fight Gone Bad for us twice in 4 months

ORGANIC SCALES:
Strength — heavy dumbbells and set down more often
Stamina — if this isn’t stamina then I don’t know what is
Endurance — lighter and maybe an 800
Flexibility — just paying extra attention to that neutral anatomical position

NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:
Coordination — check and make sure your shoe laces are tied
Accuracy — make sure kick is gentle to the handstand and not slamming against the wall
Agility — at first you wouldn’t think it would apply here, but just by adding stop-and-starts or right-angle turns can make it not only more difficult on the walk, but on your ability to keep position
Balance — walk on a line

GROUP VERSION:  combine this one and the Tabata/L-sit one into a team workout. One partner does Farmer’s walks while the other does max time L-sit (every time you come down perform like 20 squats or something). I need to marinate on the exact numbers and format a bit.

WARMUP:
Again, with the low-skill stuff, use the warmup to practice the movements you suck at the most.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB):  7. If you get the weight right, this one could be brutal is you ignore your entire body screaming at you.
