I love wallball. Maybe that’s because I am tall, maybe I am just crazy. Both are probably true. Wallballs are hard for sure, but there is just something about them that I enjoy. Workouts such as FGB, Karen and Cleaning Karen (one of my favorites) cripple the best of us both mentally and physically. Many of you dislike wallballs with every ounce of your being. Maybe you wouldn’t hate them as much if we added a fun target to hit each rep. Doubtful, but worth a try.
You can't tell, but we blindfolded all the newbies.
We need wallball targets. We need ideas. Targets can be as simple as a colored circle or as cool as CrossFit’s very own Pukie the Clown’s humble face. Is there somebody you know that you would love to have as a target? When I played t-ball, my mom would tell me to imagine my brother’s face on the ball; so I would hit it harder. Yes, I am the favorite.
Would an inspirational word or phrase improve your wallball experience: Get some or Kill it! Perhaps a taunting target would motivate you: Cry baby or Pussy(cat). What if we use your favorite girl workout as your 10-foot mark? The possibilities are endless!
Post your ideas to comments.
WOD 12.22.2009
Snatch 3-3-3-3
WOD:
21-15-9
Backsquat (Bodyweight)
Chest 2 Bar Pull-Ups
Skull & crossbones for top target, bunny rabbit for lower target. Others I’ve seen: tiger and pussycat. I kind of like the idea of having just 1 target though as the girls’ names, too.
had to make up some burpees this morning:
100 burpees for time: 6:33
Will ponder the wall ball targets….
Mariessa, I think you know what my answer or recommendation would be–words of inspiration. For me, whenever I want to give up or think I can’t do something, I try to connect my positive energy with that moment. I think our CrossFit community can attest that with encouragement, hard work, dedication, and each other we can get through any impossible.
Nicole you also like to swear a lot. Maybe you need a couple of middle fingers up there.
John that is very true…Maybe that will be fitting for me:) HA
I really like the idea of middle fingers! Oh! How about a middle finger for the lower target and a thumbs up?
work out was killer today. Slaughter, it is croman@slugmail.ucsc.edu
Snatch (hehe) – 85-95-105 (Getting better)

I will second Remy and John on the middle finger target…that would be hilarious.
Snatches are my new worst enemy.
