As I mentioned previously, I’m participating in the CrossFit Fight Gone Bad event to raise money for the Prostate Center Foundation on September 29. I’ve been following the CrossFit training philosophy since June, but only recently decided to join this event. Since the event is coming up in less than a month I figured I need to start specifically performing the Fight Gone Bad workout at least once a week.
Last night was my first encounter with the workout and it kicked my ass. Instead of 3 rounds, I decided to do 2, since I didn’t want to overdo it the first time. I used 15 lbs for Wall-Ball, 55 lbs for the Sumo Deadlift High Pull and Push Press, and a 20 inch box for Box Jumps. Since there’s no row machine at my gym (silly Gold’s Gym) I used the horizontal cable pull machine loaded with 40 lbs.
These exercises on their own aren’t difficult. But putting them all together and doing them for maximum intensity is what makes CrossFit so tough, yet so rewarding. Yes, this workout kicked my ass. And if you go your hardest, it should kick your ass every time.
Here’s another video of the Fight Gone Bad workout. Get Stronger, Run Faster, Jump Higher.
