Fight Gone Bad
Yesterday’s crossfit workout was Fight Gone Bad (FGB).
I wanted to (possibly did) cry.
Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20” box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)
In this workout, you move consecutively through each of five stations for 1 minute per station. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round, and then a one-minute break is given before moving on to the next round. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to the next station immediately. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is equivalent to one point.
My score was 210. Round 1 - the wall balls winded me, but I was still able to do a somewhat decent amount of reps. I got to the SDHP and thought, “WHY did I decide to put weights on my bar!?!” Oddly enough, the set with weights was my best by far. Box jumps as usual were painful and slow. I got to the push press and couldn’t lift the bar, so I had to drop my weights. My arms were over. The row (erg machine) was every bit as tiring as I remember it to be since my crew days. Round 2 - like Round 1, but less reps and lots of huffing and puffing. Round 3 - I hate bars and balls and jumps and walls!!! Hahaha. Only I was too tired to even say it. Took me a while to catch my breath. My group was floored. The floor never feels as good as it does after a crossfit workout.
Notes for future score improvement: max out on the stations in my element (ie wall ball) and don’t overexert in stations that have the least room for improvement in point value (ie the row).
Maybe it would have been a little more manageable had I not gone to kickboxing during lunch… I doubt it.
