The story
One of the expanded Girls series: five rounds of pull-ups, push-ups, and squats at volumes that make Cindy look polite. The structure is classic early-CrossFit bodyweight attrition — no skill gate, no equipment, nowhere to hide. Part of CrossFit's original 'Girls' benchmark series — named workouts introduced by founder Greg Glassman starting in 2003, on the logic that anything that leaves you flat on your back deserves a name like a storm. They serve as repeatable fitness tests: revisit one every few months and the clock tells you whether you're fitter.
