FGB #5 But My 1st

Media_httpfarm5static_hczjd
Last weekend CrossfitOKC along with all the CrossFit gyms nationwide put on an event entitled Fight Gone Bad 5 (it being the 5th one they have done).  It is in honor of our soldiers currently fighting and protecting our country and a way to raise money for some organizations.  I didn't work to raise any money this year but I might try for that on FGB6.  Anyway, it was alot of fun. Several local Crossfit gyms came together and we participated in the following workout, the cool thing about it was that all the CF gyms nation wide were doing the exact same workout on this exact same day. 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. The event is in the 3 round format. The stations are:
  • Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
  • Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
  • Box Jump: 20 inch box (Reps)
  • Push-press: 75 pounds (Reps)
  • Row: calories (Calories)
My total reps came to 192.  I was ok with this but look forward to getting alot more next year. My sister and her husband along with lots of other friends in the gyms also participated.  It was high energy and was a fun way to spend a Saturday.  Even my mom and mother-in-law came out. (It helped that their grandkids were there too). Graham loves Crossfit, we went up to see Mommy do a workout earlier this week.  He is making up his own workouts now and after he does them he always tells me that he is "Ti-werd" Here are some pics from the event.

Graham got some pull ups in - he has good form and gets his chin over the bar. He also showed the many faces of lifting weights:
