Intended Stimulus

“Macho Man” should feel moderately heavy right from the beginning. It should not feel light. The first 5-7 minutes of this WOD should feel pretty doable but after minute 7, the muscular fatigue and breathlessness should be real.

At the end of “Macho Man,” you should feel almost as much mental exhaustion as you do physical: a WOD that requires such a fierce race against the clock will challenge your mental fortitude.

Choose a load where you can complete all movements in 30 seconds or less for the first several minutes. The load should feel moderately heavy and the goal is to hit 13-15 rounds, if you complete the 20 min with scaled weight make a note you could have gone with heavier weight.
