Fight Gone Bad

For the past few weeks I have been itching to attempt Fight Gone Bad, even to the point of setting up a few days with other trainers to attempt it, but each time it didn't work out, so each time I either did the crossfit or parkour WOD (or one from an earlier date). I really wanted to do Fight Gone Bad with at least one other person as it's a rough workout and the more the merrier (misery loves company, right?)

This called for:

Wall ball 20lb (once again, we only have 12lb ball)
Push Press 75 lb
Box Jump 20"
Sumo Deadlift to High Pull 75lb
Row 1 minute

Throughout this time you are supposed to count either reps or calories. For now I am content with finishing it and not having to take any extended breaks. Also, I have a hard time keeping track of reps and calories since I don't want to write them down immediately after, so I can get to the next station. But one of these days I'll become talented and be able to multi task.

Anyway, the other trainer was Brian (who did the 300 workout with me and is now Crossfit certified Level 1). So we did 3 rounds (I think its 3-5, but that day it called for 3). And thank the Lord it was only 3. Any more rounds of that and I don't think I would have been able to stand. The hardest part for me was the push press. It's heavier than I typically have gone and I also did a workout on monday, that I believe was Sunday's (J.T.) which shot my whole shoulder region, as I also did not have ring dips so the reqular dips became 63-45-28 and that annihilated me.

I have been very pleased though with my overall progress through crossfit; while I obviously can't do every workout as is written; I am getting much better at doing them with out regression; which is the primary goal; and the secondary goal is to keep developing more power and quickness for not only crossfit, but parkour as well. Crossfit has given me something that I never got with my other forms of working out and that is the ability to be an athlete. Even though I do not participate in any athletic event (though Parkour is close, its not recognized) I am in the condition or getting into the condition as to where I feel I could.
