CrossFitters have a nickname for the Linda workout: “three bars of death.” When you see the WOD on paper, it makes sense: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time on the deadlift (1½ times body weight), bench press (body weight), and power clean (¾ body weight).
For a 200-pound guy, that means 300-pound deadlifts, 200-pound bench presses, and 150-pound cleans, 10 sets of each with as little rest as possible. Those last few sets of 3, 2, and 1 reps would be easy if not for those seven grueling sets beforehand. The Linda WOD is a whole-body killer that demands power and strength in the face of fatigue—a combo more conducive to enhancing stamina and grit than promoting mass gains.
