I'd be ok with thrusters and WB in the same workout as long as its not multiple rounds of each, but maybe some kind of chipper type of wod

same here. Ideally, we are able to keep the rep # of thrusters decently low per set.

I could see a time domain workout coming, aka 4 minutes to complete X, if you complete it, you have 4 more minutes to complete X1...etc., etc...

if 18.3 and 18.4 are the standard, then we're in for some pain

What yall think of a 13.5 repeat?

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:
100/65 pound Thruster, 15 reps
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups
If 90 reps (3 rounds) are completed in under 4 minutes, time extends to 8 minutes.
If 180 reps (6 rounds) are completed in under 8 minutes, time extends to 12 minutes.
If 270 reps (9 rounds) are completed in under 12 minutes, time extends to 16 minutes.
Etc.

The pain would be real.. that's a cruel workout.

most of us (guys in general) have a higher opinion of our toughness, grit, etc than is reality because we have never pushed ourselves to the point that our "inner *****" comes out. What i love about crossfit is how humbling it is. I know my limits, and I know my inner ***** very well... that workout will bring that inner ***** out, and allow you to conquer it, or bow to it.

It seems to check all the boxes as well
- repeat workout hasn't been done yet
- thrusters & c2b
- Castro is a *****

Oh that was an unpleasant day. Though I could see him making it 50 pound dumbbell thrusters.

I Kind Of don't think we will see pull ups since we have done both muscle ups (gymnastics pulling movements) and the scaled of the muscle ups were pull ups.

I think we will see thrusters, but I also think we could see box jumps and wall balls.

In addition, after seeing hand stand walks, I think we could see pistols or the assault air bike.

I think we see the assault bike next year. They've sponsored 2 years, it's been a possibility, so anyone and everyone that didn't have a bike should be able to purchase one over the last 3 years.

Pistols would be awesome, but it'd probably come after 400lb squats so i couldn't do them

Clue is up

So defintely a repeat

3 movements?

Fran, Karen, Fran is my dumb guess.

That way we get in thrusters, C2B and wall balls/

My coach pointed out that we have not had a "Chipper" type workout yet. So a little bit of evertyhing is my guess.

Slightly off topic. Been scouring concept 2s on craigslist. There is a store in the Asheville area that sells them for under 900. Would it be worth the investment to my home gym? I've got an airdyne from a box in town, but see rowing a lot more in wods.
Edit to add that I don't belong to a box. Have a couple places I train around town when I want to do group stuff or need some coaching advice on Olympic lifts. But mainly a garage gym guy.

Interval training on air bikes and rowers are Huge in terms
Of establishing general fitness. So, I say it would be a fantastic purchase.

My Essentials for a home gym:
Barbell & bumper plates
Kettle bells
Rower
Air bike
Rings
Rig
Jump rope
Wall ball 30lb
24/30" box

So according to the castro, tomorrow at 5pm our time, he will release 3 workout options for people to vote on and the winner will be 18.5

thats kind of cool, be on the lookout so you can vote!

While cool, why not give us more time to vote? like announce it in the morning so more could vote? Would that give people a competitive advantage knowing them that much earlier?

https://games.crossfit.com/article/185-community-choice

Here's the link. Love it!

This is pretty cool. It's like a choose your own adventure, except replace the word adventure with death. Still, love it.

Whatever y'all do please do not vote for anything with Deadlifts, Muscle Ups, Double Unders or Pistols. My lower back is DEAD and I'll be testing out of town so I won't have my lifters for pistols or my jump rope.

highly doubt any of those moves are going to show again

is it bad i could see him doing something sick like:

1. 100 box jumps, 100 thrusters, 100 wall balls
2. 100 thrusters, 100 wall balls, 100 box jumps
3. 100 wall balls, 100 box jumps, 100 thrusters

with whatever the movements/numbers are and us actually not really get to chose?

My guess is we pick from 17.5, 16.5, and 15.5. That or some combination of the unique .5s.

If he picks DUs again I'm pretty sure me and AgEng will kill him

Haha... I won't be doing it this week, so I'm ok if he gives them to you again.

Castro said we can vote on it. I expect him to pick the one we vote for least.

My thought as well. We're not going to like the choice regardless.

That's exactly what is said at the noon class yesterday lol.

so we know for sure at least one of the options will be a repeat

I dont want to see the other options
Give me option 1

the fact you have to have the facebook app to watch the live stream is dumb

If you go to the Games website on a computer, you can stream it that way.

Also, for anyone that didn't see it...



I believe I would choose 11.6.

I can stream it from
The website on my phone


Voted for 11.6
Howtf are they gonna count the comments and bow will they know who voted more than once? Lol what bs
