WOD
Fight Gone Bad
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3 and 5 round versions. The stations are:
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

Certainly, there has been all those things in the last decade, but from all of that there were lessons. The last […]

309 RX = PR by 8
Nicole G says:
February 10, 2010 at 8:25 pm -
@Rob – where did you see the improvement? across the board, or 1 specific thing?
Steph D says:
February 10, 2010 at 8:57 pm -
276 RXed (well, actually 57# for SDHP and PP)
First time at RX. Lessons learned: it’s a push press, not a shoulder press, so use your dang legs- don’t do wall shots last-and finally, don’t partner with Chris because his amazing-ness makes you look worse ;).
Amazing job by Chris, Rob, and Aja for pulling the RX weights and getting over the 300 mark!!!
Vanessa says:
February 10, 2010 at 9:36 pm -
Awesome Steph!!!

@Nicole G
accross the board. The SDHP/PP felt lighter to me today. Row is the row, I stay pretty consistent on that 10-15 Cal. It just depends on how quickly I can get the thing reset and strapped in.
My best movement in FGB is Wall Ball, so I stratigize to maximize that movement. The other things I attempt to ave 20ish. In between rounds, I get to the starting station and lay down. Laying down will slow the respiration and speed the heart rate recovery.
Thanks Steph.
Chris and Aja completely destroyed the WOD today.
It was fun to jump in with the 4:30 PM crew. Yes, I do these wods too:)
rob says:

I have to say, today was awesome. I saw people really fighting for every rep, that is what this is all about. Fight through the pain, the discomfort, push past limitations and wade into suck factor of these WODs.

What did Chris score and what was his/your 11/27 Rx score?
Rob says:
February 10, 2010 at 10:38 pm -
@Nicole G
Today it was 342…11/27 I think it was 309 or 312.
Chris M says:
February 10, 2010 at 10:38 pm -
342 Rx, pr by 30 reps. Thanks to everyone for pushing me, especially Steph. The encouragement definately helped!

Daniel J says:

Kimberly says:
