Quote of the Week

"Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative."

"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself."

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift."

"Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it."

"A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they’re capable of understanding."

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -PRE

CrossFit ConFlict 

 

Fastest overall time wins

 

The Workouts:

 

Test 1:

 

For time: (20 minute time limit)

25-15-5-15-25

-Pull ups. Scaled- (Jumping pull ups)

-Overhead squats (95# males/65# females). Scaled- (65# males/45# females)

Bonus- Move a heavy weight to reduce your total time. You can attempt a 1 rep max on a STRICT overhead press if you have time remanding on your 20 minute limit. You have a 3 min time limit to reach your 1 RM or until the 20 min limit is reached…whichever comes first.  Your 1 RM will give you a 1 second time bonus per pound.  Your total bonus will subtract time from your total time.

 

Test 2:

 

For time: (20 minute time limit)

-20 power cleans (135# males/95# females). Scaled- (95# males/65# females)

-40 sit ups

-40 double unders for Rx’d group. Scaled-(120 singles)

-40 sit ups

-80 any press from shoulder to shoulder (45# plate males/25# plate females). Scaled- (25# plate males/10# plate females)

-40 sit ups

-160 feet of an overhead walking lunge (45# plate males/25# plate females). Scaled- (25# plate males/10# plate females)

Bonus- Run to reduce your total time.  If you have time left on your 20 min limit run as far as you can.   The run will be a 50 meters turn around and your efforts will be stopped 3 mins after you finish the WOD or at the end of the 20 minutes-whichever comes first.  Every 50 meters you complete equals 10 seconds off your time.

Scores will be calculated into seconds.  Whoever has the lowest number wins.

Movement standards are listed below.  Standards were created to make the scoring as legitimate as possible and for safety reasons.

Test 1:

Pull ups- all the way down and chin over the bar.  Same for the jumping.

Overhead squats-crest of hip below knee in the bottom and hips fully open in the top.  If weight is dropped from above the head it will be considered a No Rep.  Lower the weight safely to the shoulders then a controlled drop to the ground is required.  This is for safety reasons since it’ll be tight with multiple competitors.  There will be room to dump the weight if needed I just don’t want the weight to be dumped over and over again.  My 25# bumpers bounce like crazy and could poke an eye out!

Test 2:

Sit ups-All sit ups will be with the abmat, feet anchored with dumbbells, and range of motion will be- both hands touch the ground by your head then both hands touch the dumbbells.

Power Cleans-Every rep from the ground, to the shoulder, then to a full open hip standing postions. 

Double unders and Singles are just that.

Any press-Use one of the bumper plates from your Power Clean bar set up and press it any style from one shoulder to a locked out position overhead then back down to the other shoulder… which equals one rep.

Overhead walking lunge-Use the same bumper plate for your overhead walking lunge.  Weight must remain overhead but not resting on your head while moving forward.  If rest is needed weight can be lowered but the competitor must not move forward.  Knee must be within 1 inch of the ground. 

 

The standard will be explained again before the events start.  Email me at heath@crossfitironwill.com if you have any questions or concerns. 

I won’t have an exact schedule set until the night before. However, it will look kind of like this… 1000-1500 for competition and then we’ll start cooking right away after that.

Afterwards-BBQ and some beer.  BYOB if you want more.  A $10 donation for the food is welcomed.

Please call or email me if you would like to compete and let me know what division.  Thanks!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
