YHC had 2 beatdowns in mind and was on the fence about which workout to do all the way to the parking lot. Would it be 21-15-9 or a block grinder? Figuring we’ll have plenty of block work the next month, 21-15-9 it is (with a little block work too).

21-15-9 is a standard count for crossfit, and there are many variations. I believe the standard is to do 21/15/9 reps of each exercise AMRAP for time. Russo would know that each of those numbers are divisible by 3, so you could vary by 3 sets of 7 and so on. Too confusing for a guy who can’t even add ISI numbers without a calculator. Great to see Yellow Snow out again for his 1st Gipper beatdown.​
