This WOD was an early mainstay in CrossFit prior to Grace or Isabel. It became “Gwen” and has always been a workout where the goal is to pick a load, stay unbroken and touch and go off the floor. It’s a much different training effect when you are forced to hold onto that bar or suffer a “foul”. This is harder than Grace. It’s common to start with a weight that is too heavy or hard to hold and going unbroken forces you to miss a lift and drop it. The benefit of a strength training workout like this is you learn your upper limits and test your technique.
