WOD #3 (May 22 - June 5)

In 20 minutes you and your partner must carry each other 800 meters. There are no rules on the way you do this (Fireman's carry, Piggy-Back, etc,) who does this, or how many times you switch, just get it done. Once the 800m is complete, your team has the remaining time to perform a 1 Rep Max Ground to Overhead, EACH. Try as many times as you like, we will take the heaviest legitimate lift. A mathematical formula will be used to determine your score. It takes into account gender, height, bodyweight, and the weight lifted. You will need to weigh in pre-workout and have your height and gender checked. Your weights can be set up pre-workout, but the plates can not be loaded onto the bar until the WOD begins. They must be set up inside, infront of the garage door.

Below is an example of the scoring result. The higher the number the better:

Team A - Athlete #1 - 92.442
- Athlete #2 - 87.324
- Total score- 179.767

Scoring will get very close among some teams, so every pound on the bar counts. Be smart about your lifting. The average 800m carry is going to take about 8 minutes, leaving not much time to put your max overhead.

WOD #2 - May 8 - May 21

In 15 minutes, your team will try to score as many points as possible. The 6 lifts below are each worth a set amount of points, and there are no rules as to what way you are to perform them, it's up to you and your teammate. All lifts are performed with your own barbell and the weight is your bodyweight. The 15 minutes is broken up into 30 second intervals, switching back and forth. You are only allowed to work on your interval. You'll weigh in right before you start.

Thruster = 12
Ground 2 Overhead = 9
Rack 2 Overhead = 6
Clean (Any Way) = 6
Deadlift = 2
Burpee = 1

Congratulations to 2 Guys, 1 Bar! Amazing performances from everyone, good luck on WOD #2.

WOD #1 Put To The Test


The Desperate Housewives (Wendy and Susan) were the first team to give WOD #1 a go on Saturday. They stayed strong for 13:00 and put up a great score. This workout is all about communication.

WOD #1 (April 24 - May 7)

As many thrusters as possible in 20 minutes. Men's weight is 95 lbs. and women's weight is 65 lbs, but, during the entire workout one team member MUST be hanging from a pull up bar. If at any time during the WOD both partner's feet are touching the ground, the WOD is over and your current number of thrusters is your score. You must hang from the bar as though you are at the bottom of a pull up, no exceptions. If your team cannot finish in the 20 minutes, there is no penalty, you're just done the workout. Communication is key in this one, we highly suggest practicing with your partner.
