One of these days I’ll get around to trying a 10-min AMRAP of “Chris”. 1 TU and one lax ball burpee per round seem ok?
What is a lacrosse ball burpee?
Toss the lacrosse ball up into the air, do a burpee, catch the lacrosse ball before it hits the ground (or your face).
Jason, don’t forget the WOD, “Life AMRAP: Levitate.”
when does Ben teach us how to do this?
