Which workout is characterized by kettlebell swings using a 1.5 pood weight?

• A. Mary
• B. Nancy
• C. Helen
• D. Annie

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing which CrossFit benchmark uses kettlebell swings at a 1.5 pood weight. A pood equals 16 kg (35 lb), so 1.5 pood is 24 kg (about 53 lb). Helen is the benchmark that features kettlebell swings with that weight, performed as 21 swings per round, joined by a 400-meter run and 12 pull-ups, repeated for three rounds. The other workouts center on different movements—Mary uses handstand push-ups, pistols, and pull-ups; Nancy uses overhead squats; Annie uses double-unders and sit-ups—so they don’t match the kettlebell swing workout at 1.5 pood.
