Do you prefer jerks or burpees? During Wednesday’s workout you get to decide how you want to partition the reps. This is an all out sprint, based on the floater workout from the Southwest Regional for the 2010 CrossFit Games. In fact, the time cap at the regional was 7 minutes, so you should all be shooting (and scaling) for a sub 10 minute workout. Enough about the speed though, the primary feature of this one is the choice it allows you to make. Consider the work, and have a plan. How are you going to divide it up?

Fight Gone Bad has raised more than $2 million in its first four editions. This year LIVESTRONG, Wounded Warrior Project, and the CrossFit Foundation are benefiting from the fundraising efforts. On Saturday, September 25th we’ll be running our heats. CrossFit Fenway has raised a combined $5,531. Register today, and join the fight as part of the CrossFit Fenway team.
The corpse that is this Red Sox season has the Olde Towne Team at home Wednesday, so there’s no free parking available at CrossFit Fenway during evening classes.
WOD: 4:20 rx
I checked to see what the winning time was for this wod at the southwest regional and it was a blistering 2:42 (and they used 185lbs) WOW
I wanna be Justin S. strong
How is that even possible? I thought your time was pretty sick. Looks like the R&R recharged your batteries.
6:17 (30kg)
Now wishing I’d tried 35kg, but that almost definitely would have fallen apart given how I broke up the reps. DO YOUR LIFTING BEFORE THE BURPEES, REALLY 🙂
Lots of new faces in the gym, welcome all…
To be honest, I did it with a 5-10 rep scheme and it saved my lungs.
12:59 Rx
The weight was heavy for me, just 5 lbs shy of body weight. I had to break up the jerks into 7 sets. Cleaning the bar over and over again slowed me down, especially as I grew fatigued and started to fail clean attempts. This workout reinforced the importance of two of my training goals:
1) Learn to squat clean
2) Get a lot stronger. As Justin pointed out, the male athletes at the regional used a weight 30 lbs heavier than we did.
I’m just glad I made it through the workout. I may have the slowest time on the board today, but I know this made me stronger.
Nate, that is awesome; no way I could have done this one Rx. Way to get the weight up!
Give you a ton of credit doin this one RX bud. Great job.
Thanks guys
WOD: 6:03 (back squats)
My left shoulder is pretty sore. I blame the WOD from a week ago Monday with all the KB swings and ring push-ups. Also, the buy-in on last Friday’s WOD didn’t help. So, i’m trying to take it easy on my shoulder, and did back squats instead of the shoulder to overhead. Fun WOD!
today was a fun one! 3:16 rx
whoa. nice!!!!
great job! this workout is perfect for the burpee queen
You are a frigging beast.
I second that.
Way to go Hayley, way to do work!!!
Awesome and inspiring effort, Haley.
Everyone should go to http://scores2010.crossfit.com/scoring/r/southwest/women/overheadburpees,464/ and compare Haley’s time to the times from the women at the regional, who did basically the same workout. Be impressed.
thanks everyone! don’t be too impressed though.. as much as i’d love to be able to claim that i finished something faster than rebecca voigt, those women had more weight and had already done 2 other wods that weekend.. but maybe one day!
Still though, Haley, your work capacity for that type of effort is outstanding!
Great job
Daaaamn Hales! Way to go. You make us all proud. 🙂
Wow! I was there and I didn’t even realize how fast you were. Amazing work, Haley.
WOD: 8:48 Rx
push press was ugly, burpees even worse.
heavy for me today.
But you Rx’d it, that’s what counts…nice job!
Yeah Tiff! Way to RX it!
Snatch: 55kg
WOD: 5:25 @ 60kg
Gonna attack the shit outta this as rx next time around
70kg snatch
WOD: 5:15rx gotta learn how to jerk, all of the shoulders to overhead were push-presses – not efficient at all.
thanks to Yosh for counting reps for me, wanna go as “game” form as possible on all the reps.
Snatch: 52kg
WOD 5:57 scaled to 60kg. Good times guys
Eric P. I hot 7:55. 85kg was a bad idea! 🙁
Eric P. I got 7:55. 85kg was a bad idea! 🙁
hoooold up. ty, did you do this wod with 85kg?? you’re insane!!
Whatever ms 3:16!
That is awesome man!!! someday i’ll be half as strong as you! great job by both you and your bro today!
Too late bro, you are already there!
Snatch: 30kg
WOD: 5:33 @ 30kg. Had to get the shoulder to overheads done first because oddly enough, 30kg is about all I can clean. And it’s UGLY. Gotta work on that.
snatch: 17kg and starting to feel more comfortable with form
wod: 4:53 @ 15kg. did 2 sets of 10-20 which was a terrible idea, i should’ve stuck to my original plan of 4 sets of 5-10. my last 5ish burpees weren’t pretty.
5:22 @ 40kg. need to get faster on burpees. need to scale up on weight.
