Ball slam. With a D-ball (You’ll wreck your Dynamxax ball, don’t try it) throw the ball to the ground from the outstretched “C” of the launch. Only by following-through the throw with the hands will you be able to catch the low bounce of the D-ball. This is a 20 pound ball.

Connor Martin, age 13, USAW Club Coach at Brand X Martial Arts, set a school record of 92 Sit-ups in one-minute beating the old school record by 15 reps. His PE Teacher verified the feat but the head of the PE department is making he and the other CrossFitter who tied him retake the test because “It’s not possible.”

"Fight Gone Bad!"
This is our famous “Fight Gone Bad” workout. It has been used extensively to prep fighters for the UFC. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3 and 5 round versions. Today is 3 rounds. The stations are:
Wall-ball – 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump – 20” box (Reps)
Push-press 75 pounds (Reps)
Row – calories (Calories)
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate”, the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
Add your points and post them to comments. 405 is the score to beat.
Compare to 041201.
