I used 12lbs for the med ball (they didn't have 20) and I didn't throw against wall; I just did situps. No ring rows were available, so I held onto the leg press machine and pulled up, trying to replicate the movement. Still weak. I shot for at least 25 reps for each exercise.

WOD: "Hope"

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We will do three rounds. The stations are:

1. Burpees
2. Power Snatch, (75/ 45#)
3. Box Jump (24/20")
4. Thruster (75/45#)
5. Chest to Bar Pull Ups

Did 40# for thrusters because I was using a different bar. And didn't do chest to bar. Just used the machine with 40lbs of help.
