My box has just threatened someone who has left their shoes out with this WOD:

While it looks tough, it also looks fun! I think we should try it in our regular programming. Has anyone else tried the bring sally up/bring sally down squat challenge?

    Did it as a cash out with one of my coaches last week (I used the empty women's bar). I had to stand up/stay standing a few times, but I managed to get through it all! It was actually quite a lot of fun!!

    It's reminiscent of the "Thunderstruck" warm up we do from time to time. Instead we do double-unders until you hear 'thunder" or "thunderstruck" at which point you do a burpee every time either is said and resume double-unders afterward. I'd like to try this one. If only to see how much the level of suck is.

    We did it with air squats as a warmup for cleans yesterday. I really wanna try it with the RX weight just to see if I can make it through.

    I've also heard of people doing this with pushups, i think holding the bottom of a pushup would be way worse than a squat.

    ^^^ this would kill me.
  • My Box just did it Sunday with Rx weight as a warm up - I WOD with psychos!! (I'm still pretty much a newbie so they are all very impressive to me LOL)

    Seeing the people at the end of the video is hysterical! I would say that I would love to try it, but it looks rough!

    Ahh..I didn' t realize others had this one as well. We did it last week. There were definitely a couple times when I had to stand up early to put out the fire in my legs. Whew!

    We did it maybe 2 weeks ago. I went Rx but fell short by 2 reps at the end from completing it! So pissed!!

    Our box has a "1 burpee per pound" penalty if you leave your plates lying around... needless to say, we have a VERY orderly gym. ;-)

    We're doing this today just for our warm up. Ack!
