Time to have some fun! We hope everyone will try to get in today to give the Top Dawg competition your best shot. Who knows? Maybe this will catapult you into more competitions outside of our box. We're starting things off with basic movements everyone can do. So get to it!
Workout of the Day
"2012 Top Dawg WOD #1"
AMRepsAP in 15 minutes:
10 Hand-Release, Over-the-Bar Burpees
15 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (75, 55)
20 Walking Lunges
Everyone should do their best to do this one as prescribed but if you're not quite there yet, the scaled loads are 55 and 35. Your final score should be the total number of reps completed. Post your results to Comments.

188 reps, rx'd. My first rx'd WOD! Thanks, Clay for encouraging me to do the prescribed weight, and to my judge Kambri to keep me on track during the workout.

Josh, I think I squeezed out 5 SDHPs in the last 5 seconds. Those were the only things I could move fast on.

278 Rx'ed. Had a great time, though thought I was going to ralph afterwards.
Clay is always saying "every rep counts" during the WODs... Having the competition really illustrated that. I made 2 mental errors - at the end of the first 2 rounds I threw the bar down at the end of the 15 SDHP's (my typical celebration). I immediately caught myself on both, and picked it right back up to re-do the final rep properly.
At the end, Simon beat me by 1 rep, Adam beat me by 2 reps... The time spent retrieving and re-doing probably could have gotten me another 2-3 (maybe more) reps before the buzzer sounded. You really start to gain an understanding of "every single rep matters" at that point :-).
