Virtual shoveling. Get some!

WOD – Dig It

30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 of:

* Virtual Shovel is a movement that mimics shoveling snow, filling sand bags, etc. Trainees add weight to one end of an olympic bar and lift, in a shoveling motion, up and over a 24 inch barrier, touching the ground on the other side. Over and back counts as one rep.

WOD Training Notes

“This will bust yo’ ass. Period.”

Some folks on the CrossFit HQ web site dismissed it as stupid, and perhaps that’s due to the video example provided where the femal doing the training did not look like she was working hard. Trust me – this is hard – and will tax you so badly by the end that you’ll be lucky to make it that far.

30, 25, 20 are the hardest and where you will most likely want to quit. DON’T DO IT! By reps 15 on down, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Get some!
