“Fight Gone Bad”

3 Rounds
Wall Balls(16.5# 8ft)
SDLH(60#)
Box Jump(18” box)
Push Press(60#)
Burpees
RD1- 27,12,12,13,7
RD2- 15,10,12,8,7
RD3- 12,8,8,10,0
Couldn’t get a single burpee on RD3, had to lay on the floor and attempt to breathe.
Total: 161

I can’t imagine doing this and getting punched in the face at the same time. Mad props to Big Dawgs and anyone else who can do it as Rx’d. And good luck to B.J. on Aug 9th, I’ll be watching at home.

I really, really, I mean REALLY hate burpees!

After four months of soul serching, I have come to understand that there is no better workout than Crossfit.

First time doing FGB - for the SDHP the bar has to go to the ground for each rep but for the push-press is just has to go down to the clean position for each rep, Correct?  Thanks, Bill

Bdud,

Right on push press. Shoulder to overhead. 

SDHP- with a bar = shin to chin.  All the way to the ground means = where a bar would rest (what, 8.5 inches off the ground?) if it had plates on it.  I usually only see this with bumpers.  With a kettlebell = touch the ground.

There’s a reason they don’t call it “Fight Gone Good”.

Hey, I’m wondering how people generally handle the logistics of this one when going it alone? Do you pause to write the score?

Last time I did this, I used one 30 lb DB for the thrusters (sub’d for wallball) and two 30lbs the SDHP and the Push Press (I have power blocks, and didn’t want to waste time changing weight).

Opinions on the best methods? Not sure if I will be doing this one this time, since I will be at CFNE on Thursday evening for my last elements class, but if I feel froggy after rest tomorrow, I might. Thanks.

I find it easier to just keep counting reps through the entire round, recording total reps after the row, while i’m sprawled on the floor. I generally forget the reps/station breakdown, but i don’t know that it’s really that important.

also, is that Crossfit New England? or another CFNE? i love those guys. How awesome are they? : )

Yeah, that’s them. Closer to me than CF Boston (I live at Hanscom, and traveling to CFB during the school day for a WOD seemed a little out of my way.). Yeah, seems pretty good. (I’ve been a whopping two times though grin)

Plan to do this tomorrow morning, but don’t have a rowing machine.  I know the sub for rowing is SDHP, but since there’s already a round of that in the WOD, should we do something else as a sub or do another round of SDHP (maybe burpees or 1 pood KB swings ??). 

BTW, they posted a link to an mp3 that I plan to listen to for this that someone created for this WOD specifically with Buzzers at each minute to know when to move to the next exercise (http://www.byersgetsdiesel.com/search?q=fight+gone+bad (wfs) then look for the “SPECIAL BONUS DOWNLOAD: Fight Gone Bad - NH Style MP3”)

Quick wall-ball question:  When performing these, do I throw with my dominant hand?  Or do I try to throw as evenly as I can with my right and left?

Big Dawgs and Pack:
The usual sub for rowing is SDHP.  Since SDHP are already in the WOD, we generally recommend Burpees.  Counting the number of Burpees tends to work out fine as a sub for cals rowed.

Is this the preferred sub for this WOD or can we do 45# SDHP?  I hate burpees…I guess I should suck it up and just do them.  I just know for a fact I could squeeze more SDHP than burpees so for for number of reps it would be better.  Yet another example why my hope gym is woefully inadequate.

Oops, I guess I should read the full scaling post by Garddawg before posting a question.  My apologies !!

Yep, if it’s a goat, you should definitely do the burpees. Going with something else that is easier as a sub kind of defeats the purpose. Kill your goats.
