Karen
Walk into the gym, eyes locked on the board
A simple minute rest, Karen, gently underscored
If you're new around here, it might seem like no threat
Just a single movement, "how bad can it get?"
But for those in the know, a deep breath
A silent groan for what looms ahead
Tests every muscle, every zone
Short, fast, intense pain, a challenge to endure
In the quest for strength, forging grit at its purest core
Just a hundred and 50 wall balls
Looking so simple and plain on the floor
However, within that simplicity, a test like never before
20 pounds for the boys, 14 for the girls, set the score
Aiming high for the target beat, ten or nine feet, it's an uphill war
It's a race against time, it's relentless, in this climb
With every throw, every heat, against the clock we align
Karen, a testament to grit, where med balls feel like lead
Shoulders ache, quads scream, in this journey we dread
Strategy is key in this relentless quest
Start strong but pace yourself, keep to the sets that are best
Not too large to falter, not too small to rest
With consistency and push, we put our limits to the test, to the test
12 to 15 minutes, if that's where you land
Know it's a great start, by your own hand
Eight to 11, you're doing grand
Six to seven, on solid ground you stand
If you're Under six minutes, you're with the elites
Where every second counts, and every heartbeat beats
Headed to the Games this year? A playful prod, but respect is sincere
In this blazing pace, a champion's mindset appears
Every throw, every catch, showcases your might
In the realm of strength, you stand, undaunted in the fight
Karen, Karen, a friend or a foe?
In the heat of your challenge, truth be told, I still don't know
Oh, Karen, you're not just a test or a trial
But a milestone we meet with a respectful smile
Though we never seek you out, when you appear, we nod
Ready to embrace each visit of this benchmark WOD
To welcome you as a friend, to respect the fight
And with each meeting, to reach a new height
So, until we cross paths again in our familiar space
We'll prepare, we'll strategize, we'll innovate
With respect in our minds, and improvement our goal
Until we meet again, Karen, we're ready to roll
Karen, Karen, a friend or a foe?
In the heat of your challenge, truth be told, I still don't know
A simple minute rest, Karen, gently underscored
If you're new around here, it might seem like no threat
Just a single movement, "how bad can it get?"
But for those in the know, a deep breath
A silent groan for what looms ahead
Tests every muscle, every zone
Short, fast, intense pain, a challenge to endure
In the quest for strength, forging grit at its purest core
