Flip-Flop Day!


Skills Day or Games WOD 11.5 (do the one you did NOT do yesterday)

We will be in there to judge the games WOD.  It is essential that you get there at 0530 if you want to do the WOD in the morning.  It takes a few minutes to set it up and brief it.  After that, it takes a full 20 minutes per rotation so we can't waste any time.

Here is WOD 11.5:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 Power cleans (145lbs / 100 lbs)
10 Toes to bar
15 Wall balls (20lbs to 10' target / 14lbs to 9' target)

Check out the instructions video BEFORE coming to attempt the WOD. All of the WOD information can be found here.

Games WOD 11.5 or Skills Day

Here is the deal gang...Games WOD 11.5 is posted and a couple of us are planning on knocking it out in the morning.  Cadets have a modified schedule for the Battle Command Conference, so I anticipate few if any cadets being able to make this session.  If you are unable to do the WOD today, do a skills day (focusing on a goat) instead.  Tomorrow we will flip-flop and judge the games WOD again.

Here is WOD 11.5:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 Power cleans (145lbs / 100 lbs)
10 Toes to bar
15 Wall balls (20lbs to 10' target / 14lbs to 9' target)

CrossFit Games Open WOD 11.4

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
60 Bar-facing burpees
30 Overhead squats (120lbs / 100lbs)
10 Muscle-ups

There are very explicit instructions for this WOD.  Please go here to review the instructions PRIOR to coming for the WOD.

For those of you who are officially competing in the games, we will judge your rounds with the 0530 crew. If you are doing the WOD for fun but not entering results into the CrossFit games database, then there is no need to use a judge when you perform the WOD.

Every rep counts in this workout. Credit will be given for partially completed rounds. You will enter your result by the number of rounds completed, plus the number of bar-facing burpees, plus the number of overhead squats, plus the number of muscle-ups in the final round (if incomplete). If you do not complete the first round, enter 0 for rounds and then the number of completed reps of each exercise.
