Looking for a CrossFit Hero Workout that was short, I picked Artie. Named after Police Officer Arthur “Artie” Lopez of New York, Officer Lopez was killed in the line of duty in 2012.
It is a 20 minute AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of:
- 5 pull ups
- 10 push ups
- 15 air squats
- 5 pull ups
- 10 thrusters at 65 lbs
This is Cindy with some thrusters, I thought. No problem.
It turned out to be a problem.
About round 3, I kept thinking, This sucks. I don’t want to be doing this.
After each round, I’d check the clock and think, Ok, only 14 minutes left. Ok, only 11 minutes left.
Those were some LONG minutes!
I finished with 9 rounds overall. I was elated to be done, and I went on my merry way.
The next day, I wasn’t quite so merry. My quadriceps were screaming at me. My arms were sore.
Maybe it was the 90 thrusters I did.
Maybe…
90 thrusters, hmmm. Maybe. 🙂
