EMOM: Every Minute on the Minute

"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."

-Stephen A. Brennan

Today's WOD:

EMOM (Every minute on the minute) for 20 minutes:

5 Deadlifts (225/155 lbs.)

20 Double-Unders

In our Workout of the Day, athletes were asked to perform 5 Deadlifts and 20 Double-Unders (or 30 Single Unders) within a minute.  Then do it again for another 19 rounds!  If the athlete did not complete the set of Deadlifts and Double-Unders, they had the option of taking a minute off and continuing till completion or failure.  However, their score would be where they could not successfully complete the work in the minute.

For some, the Deadlifts were the minute breaker, for others it was the Double-Unders.  In CrossFit, we love to pair "gymnastics" with "weightlifting".  Moreover, we love being good at both!
