Partner WOD
Complete the following in Teams of 2
The Jesus WOD is done as a means of aligning Christian beliefs physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is not intended to grandstand an athlete’s ability… it is not designed to “measure-up” to what Jesus encountered in His crucifixion… it is not a typical CrossFit workout.
The Jesus WOD is particularly brutal. Some participants have been able to finish it as prescribed; others have found that they had to scale-down the weight as the workout wore-on; all participants have found that it helps them better grasp the amount of suffering Jesus endured. PLEASE BE WARNED: this workout – perhaps more than any other CrossFit workout – taxes most athletes beyond their limits mentally and physically.
