Had to do this at LA Fitness...it is becoming rather awkward at the other gym....have to wait until 11:30 and just awkward...

WOMEN - includes Masters Women up to 54 years old
Complete as many rounds and repetitions as possible in 14 minutes of:
60-calorie row
50 toes-to-bars
40 wall-ball shots, 14 lb. to 9-foot target

Score: 150

Because at LA Fitness...I had to adapt... not ideal par for T2B and the ball was 13.5...and had to guess on the height...folks do not understand and definitely get in the way and look at me like I am being rude...I don't care...but that is what happened..

On the positive...T2B felt pretty good and I had a good rhythm...got a couple of good sets of 10...found chaulk that helped...

Then...couldn't help myself and worked a tiny bit on Clean form... 

30 cleans, 95 lb.
20 muscle-ups
