“I’d start with some work with either back or front squats for load. I think nothing revs up the metabolism like squats, as they get every muscle in the body working together and really fire up the core. I’d follow that up with a MetCon that includes front squats and some other movements that are quick hitting. Off the top of my head, I like a 15 min AMRAP of 10 Front Squats, 20 Box Jumps, and 30 Double Unders. I could also sub in wall balls or squat cleans for the front squats and mess with the rep scheme a bit.” – Coach Rohan Joseph

CrossFit Arlington

“I would highly recommend sleeping more, eating real foods, and staying hydrated. Unfortunately, your hour in the gym won’t do much for your total caloric expenditure. In the gym, I would recommend a challenging strength portion like heavy squats or deadlifts because building lean muscle mass through multi-joint movements will help you burn calories at a better rate.  I would recommend a conditioning piece that doesn’t leave you sore for a week but rather something that lets you come back again regularly. Ultimately, the sleeping and eating you do outside the gym is more important than your hour in the gym.” – Coach Chris Malta

The epicness of this WOD is incomprehensible. Just check out a photo of AllSport CrossFit’s whiteboard above to get an idea of what they did (you can see a bigger image here). We can’t even imagine how long this workout took!
