A couple years ago I was in Sacramento visiting my good friend Victor Hall. We went over to the local college to see the weight room and proceeded outside to watch track practice. As usual we started discussing challenges and exercise ideas. One question I brought up was "Could you lunge one lap around the track?" Now from Cross Fit we know the answer is yes. But the quality and recovery could be more than it is worth. They have posted that as a WOD many times. We decided the 100 Rep* challenge would be a good end of WOD finisher. So that night after a garage lift we gave it a shot. Victor was gracious enough to allow me to go first. I got about 30 reps in and my legs started to shake and seize up. I finished in 5:35 touching my back knee to the asphalt on every rep. Victor turned in an impressive 2:32 time to show me he was twice the athlete. Since then hundreds of Pirate Fit Athletes have tried and succeeded with the "Pirate DEATH Walk" challenge.
There are two ways to do this
- Get in 100 reps for time
- Get as many reps as possible unbroken stopping at 100 for time
* Note:Victor is 5'8" to my 6'0" and we have completely opposite builds. I am all limbs. He was quick to point out that reps versus distance was an easy way to compare scores.
Train Fun!

ReplyDeleteAlexia that is awesome. Keep up the good work. That is a female record. We will post it up here at the Pirate Workshop.
