“Karen”
I own you, med ball!

150 Wall balls for time (20/14)

Post time to comments.  Compare to (07.27.12)...Mike vs Jacob, Part II?


Coach's Notes. 
The standard is a 10’ target and hips below the knees at the bottom of the squat.

Have a strategy for this one. I’ve used several, like "don’t rest for more than three deep breaths," or "10 shots at a time with 5 second rests in between." Make a contract with yourself to see what works.

Keeping your torso upright as possible is the best technique tip for this one. Practice moving the knees out as you drop into the squat, and hold the ball close to guard against the tendency to lean forward as you tire.

  • "Wall Ball Shots and Karen" - from Again Faster.  A little on the long side (8:34) but chock full of goodness, especially if it's your first time tackling Karen.
