FGB at CFOT.. there's some history here

Thursday, September 24;

This will be the third year we've done Fight Gone Bad at Crossfit Old Town. A ton of things have changed since then, but the excitement and sheer will to at least attempt to destroy this workout has not changed at all. Another thing that NEVER changes is the fall to the floor everyone does at the end of FGB. I think the best way to show the changes are through video.. I'll point out some of my favorite differences...

Year 1, FGB 2007



-Ladies Using the 45lb bar for push presses... Karen and Keturah using the 45lb bar :)
-Dumbell Thrusters instead of Wall ball
-Pullups instead of row machine
-Elise using the band to do pullups
-Box jumps on mats (I miss these so much)
-Leslie pre-pregnancy and baby, Steck had not yet joined us either
-Elizabeth pre-pregnancy and baby
-Some faces who will be with us in spirit, but are no longer with us at CFOT (they didn't die.. just have found other things to do at 6am).. Magoo, Vivek, Judd, Sarah, Ray, Robin, Melanie, Kevin
-We raised $14,400 in 2007

Year 2, FGB 2008




-Same location with some new equipment and some new faces
-Keturah had JUST had knee surgery (explains pullups and DB STRICT PRESSES)
-Sean wearing a hat while he works out
-wall ball through the ceiling
-me working out through some shoulder pain, pre-shoulder surgery
-Some faces who will be with us in spirit, but are no longer with us at CFOT.. Andrea, Lef, Alyce, Matt Komar, Yanna.. the russian ballroom dancer, where in the hell is Craig?

If you want an idea of one of the ways to game FGB, take a look at my blog post from last year. I tried two different techniques. The first year I tried setting goals for each round and meeting those goals to break 300. Last year, I just went balls to the wall. I'd say last year was a success. I scored 328. The previous year was a heart breaking 297.5.

So, here's a look through CFOT's history with Fight Gone Bad. We are preparing for the third edition of FGB this weekend. As of 12:30pm on September 24, CFOT has raised $13,813. Plenty of time to beat the 2007 amount raised. Get ready to get freaking pumped and wreck this workout!
