19.1
Workout (~15:00) 
Workout “19.1”
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15:00:
Started with row – was able to complete 4 complete rounds and then in 5th round did the 9 cal row and did 5 wall-balls.

19 Wall-ball shots 

1    9-cal. row
*Men throw 20-lb. ball to 10-ft. target
*Women throw 14-lb. ball to 9-ft. target

Notes This CrossFit Open repeat workout is very demanding on the lower body and the lungs!
Move at a challenging but submaximal pace at the onset of the workout and attempt to maintain that pace for the entire 15:00.
The wall ball shot may feel easy at the beginning but breaking up the reps with short rest breaks may prove to be beneficial.

Move at pace on the rower that is challenging but allows for a quick transition to the wall ball shot.
Higher scores will be 7-8+ rounds while striving for 5+ rounds is a great goal for all to shoot for.

Wall Ball Shots
*Reduce load 1st.
*Reduce the height 2nd.

*Dumbbells:
19 Goblet thrusters

*Bodyweight:
20 Jump squats

Row
*Row a designated number of calories allows for completion in no longer than 2:00 each round.

*300m Run

COOL DOWN (~10:00)

2 Rounds per side
Couch Stretch Sequence
0:20 Couch stretch elbow to foot
0:20 Couch stretch upright
0:20 Couch stretch hip away from foot
0:20 Couch stretch reach for wall

*Go through the entire sequence on one side and then do the other side
2 Sets:
8/8 Down dog shoulder circles
0:30 Prone lat stretch

This workout really exhausted me! 
Off to home, shower and work.
