Tonight was sadly our last 2015 Open Friday Night Lights. Love the energy and the crowd each week and how it pushes everyone to do their best. There were also some great suggestions to try and do this more often. Maybe a monthly “Friday Night Lights” is something that we can plan on through the spring/summer.

For those who still need to complete 15.5 for their official score then come tomorrow at 10:30am or any day class on Monday. Finish the Open strong and get in the gym.

Reminder: Post your scores before Monday at 5PST. Don’t forget!

Tomorrow is our “End of the Open Party”:

To celebrate the end of the CrossFit Games Open tomorrow (Saturday 3/28) after our morning 9:30am Team WOD we will have the OutsidetheBox Paleo Food Truck out for a post WOD lunch/social event.

  • Lunch Time: Approx 11:30am to 1pm

Bench Press : 2 Rep Max & "Nasty Girls"

“Nasty Girls”

3 rounds for time of:
50 Air Squats
7 Muscle Ups
10 Hang Power Cleans (135#/95#)

Scale: 1 MU transition (floor) or 1 Jumping MU or 1 Ring Dip for each MU

This WOD is one of the benchmark CF workouts from CrossFit.com that was first programmed in 2005. The Nasty Girls were the original trio of female fire breathers from the first CrossFit “Box” (the original CFHQ): Nicole Carroll, Eva T., and Annie Sakamoto.
We can’t do this workout without posting what is one of the “early classic” workout demo videos from CrossFit.com; classic because of the early style that included crappy music, sometimes poor technique/range of motion, no editing, and impressive performances.
The most memorable parts are that 3 women are doing muscle-ups (which was not common several years ago), and that Nicole fights and cries her way through the last round of the WOD, failing muscle-ups and cleans while the tears are flowing yet still managing to finish the workout. This video became one of the most watched CF videos that inspired a ton of CrossFitters to get their muscle-up.

Two parts to the conditioning today to work on getting through sets with less rest and more movement. This type of WOD makes you fight to not put the bar down and keep moving on the burpees or heavy kettlebell swings.

Today I programmed a mini version of the Hero WOD “DT” and naturally those movements are basically in tomorrow’s Open 15.4 WOD. #crossfitnostradamus

Some notes on 15.4:

  • Read up on the standards and familiarize yourself with either the RX or Scaled or Teens version depending on what you are planning to do.
  • If you are close to your first HSPU then safely attempt to get it in your 8 minutes.
  • If you are new to HSPU but definitely can’t clean the RX weight, get your HSPU done and then do the scaled WOD for a good workout.
  • If you can do HSPU but the weight will be a struggle or close to a PR, then use your full clean and squat to stand it up. After 3 HSPU you have the remaining time to get a PR squat clean.
  • If you are scaled, then perform the WOD using two bars for the corresponding loads.
  • Coaches will explain HSPU measurement standard and mark tape lines for RX athletes.
  • RX: You can use a long yoga mat underneath your head or plates/abMat as long as the hands are at the SAME level with the hands.

Join us Thursday at 5pm in the lobby to watch the live announcement of Open WOD 15.4.  Josh Bridges and Scott Panchik will go head to head in this week’s latest Games workout.

My bet is on Box Jump Overs and Thrusters (ascending weight). That means we will see a chipper that starts with a calorie row, has a ton of bodyweight crap in the middle and end on something challenging if you can move fast enough to get there.
