How do you perform the Shell77 workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Begin by preparing your D-Ball, ensuring it's the appropriate weight for your fitness level. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly, and lift the D-Ball from the ground. Engage your core as you explosively lift the ball overhead, using your legs to drive the movement.

As you bring the D-Ball back down, let it rest momentarily on your shoulders before lifting it again. Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm and controlled breathing throughout the 100 reps. It’s essential to use good form to prevent injury, so keep your back straight and avoid excessive leaning.

Stay hydrated and listen to your body; take brief breaks as needed to maintain proper technique and endurance.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Shell77" can be done by everyone

Begin by reducing the number of D-Ball Over Shoulders to a manageable quantity, such as 50 or 75, depending on your fitness level. You can also lighten the weight of the D-Ball to something between 10 to 20 lbs if necessary.

If the D-Ball weight feels too heavy, consider performing the movement with a lighter object like a medicine ball or a sandbag until you build strength and confidence.

For those who need further scaling, try performing the movement in smaller sets, aiming for 5-10 repetitions at a time, with short breaks in between to maintain proper form.

Incorporating rest intervals and focusing on technique will help ensure you complete Shell77 effectively while minimizing the risk of injury.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Shell77"

Your score for the benchmark workout Shell77, which consists of 100 D-Ball Over Shoulders for time, is determined by the total number of completed repetitions within the time limit.

To calculate your score, keep track of the D-Ball Over Shoulders you complete in full rounds. Each round consists of 100 repetitions. If you finish the workout with additional reps after your last full round, those count towards your score as well.
