July Challenge

Reminder: CrossFit South Bay will only be hosting a 10am class this Friday, July 3rd. There will be no classes on Saturday, July 4th. Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Last month we mentioned that Dutch Lowy was hosting an online challenge among affiliates. Unfortunately, we didn’t really press the issue and change programming around to work towards the goal. Likewise, we neglected to talk it up in the gym and get everyone on board.

Well this month the challenge looks even more fun! Who’s on board for this? (see description and video below)

The challenge this month will be to take your bodyweight from the ground to overhead enough times to total 3000 lbs for men and 2000 lbs for women.
Scaling will be allowed on an individual level based on the coaches prescription however if the weight is scaled the participant must do 3000 lbs regardless of gender.
Here is an example:
I weigh 158 lbs.
3000/158 = 18.xxxx
You will round up regardless of the decimal point. I must perform 19 reps at 158 lbs as fast as possible (see video).
Example 2:
Michele weighs 145lbs
2000/145= 13.xxx
Michele must do 14 reps at 145 lbs as fast as possible.

Scores will be counted in seconds and divided by the number of participants.
Michele and My score would be:
117+223=340
340/2= 170

WOD – 7.2.09

Front Squat 5×3 (@ 80% of 1RM), then

5 rounds:

• 15 Box Jump
• 15 Kettlebell Swings

Scale it for yourself — but go heavy and go high. Make it a challenge.
