WOD 28/7/10 _weight carry

Blair Morrison – winning of the European Regional – doing it Euro stylez

Along with Games Week this week, we’ll also be launching into the 30 Days of Handstand Challenge.   Its nothing as crazy as the 100 days of Burpee or Pullups challenge, its pretty straight forward – the challenge is for the next 30 days, every day (no missing days and catching up) spend 10mins working on your handstand.  That means 10 uninterrupted, focused minutes of tryng to develop your handstand – every day.  So figure out where your handstand is at now, chuck your name up on the board, figure out where you want to be in 30days and get into it!

WOD 27/7/10 _winner

We’re skipping over pyramid Helen, that will appear later in the week and moving on to the deadlift, pistol, double under wod.  Now it was a 7min AMRAP at the games, Ive decided to change it a bit so you can all feel like winners… instead of 7mins we’ll be doing as many rounds as the winner – Rich Froning Jnr did and seeing how long it takes to get the equivalent amount of work done.  The sly dog knocked out 6 rounds so :-

Workout

6 rounds for time

7 Deadlift (140/90)

20m sprint

14 pistols

20m sprint

21 double unders

The CrossFit Games are done and dusted for 2010, it was a pretty amazing competition with some incredible athletic performances over the weekend.  Once the footage from the Games is made more readily available we’ll be having a screening down at the gym.  Before that tho its your chance to get a feel for what the competitors went thru over the weekend spread out over this week.  Ive changed the order of the workouts slightly and made a couple of logistical adjustments but they are pretty close to the originals.  So lets get amongst it and see how you would have gone up against the CrossFit elite – Results
