''Fight Gone Bad!" (09.17.2011)
Three rounds for total points of
Wall-ball (20lbs)
Sumo Deadlift High-Pull (75lbs)
Box Jump (20")
Push Press (75lbs)
Row (Calories)
Notes: In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On the call of "rotate" the athletes must move to next station immediately. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
Post total points to comments.

Ok so I did this at Crossfit Singapore but instead of row we did Kettle bell swings, other than that everything was the same!
I scored around 220-230(lost count)... I felt like I was going die on the 3rd round... not today!
Suffering is universal...

20110917 – Bert’s S&C Log
First day on the job as the strength and conditioning coach for the Women's Varsity Crew team here at school. And I've got to say that this is going to be an absolute blast working with the team this year, and I already have so much to learn and catch up on so that I can provide these athletes with all the tools they need to crush their competition on our field of battle.
We started the day off at 530 with introductions and an explanation of the circuit the team was going to go through. Coach asked me to come up with a circuit that had 13 stations each station would have 3 rounds of :40/:20.
01. Wallball (14# / 8' target)
02. Pullups/ Body Rows/ Static Hang (skill dependent)
03. Abmat Situps
04. Sled Push @ 25
05. Pushups
06. Back Squats @ 65
07. Farmer's Walk @ 30 (for distance)
08. KB Swings @ 35
09. Walking Lunge (for steps/distance)
10. Push Press @ 65
11. Row (kCal)
12. Deadlift @ 95
13. Box Jumps (skill dependent)
A huge takeaway that I learned here was that although this followed the outline of what the Coach wanted is that I need to spend a few sessions making sure the team has a solid background in the fundamental movements. Another big takeaway is the "KISS" principle. Too much confusion occurred during the training session and if the movements and rep schemes were simpler it would become a lot more effective.
Regardless of the workout’s initial shortcomings, everyone got a slight taste of what they've got in store. The sled push was the movement that I saw as one of the more potent stimuli, but up at the Stable we know the humbling power of pushing even a "light" sled.
After the circuit workout, we went over to the boathouse, where I got a feel for the kinds of demands that these particular athletes need to meet and exceed for their sport specific training and for game days. Huge takeaway from these observations is that shoulder and general upper body strength needs to be improved so that transportation of their boats in and out of the boathouse becomes a simpler task and won't be taxing to them in the least bit. Of course there also remains the constant fact that core to extremity power and strength is highly important in sport, so this too must be incorporated into programming.
In the future there are going to be a lot of portages around the track, practical application of strength and power cycles, sled pushes, and erg work, all interwoven with appropriate skill development and accessory training in order to maximize the athletic prowess of each athlete. This of course will all have to work harmoniously with their boat training, as this will be the necessary to do well in competition.
Fifty meter mark once we have a solid strength & conditioning routine down is that we can begin to discuss how to best manipulate their performance and recovery by manipulating the intake and quality of nutrients in order to give them a favorable internal biochemical environment so that they become leaner and more powerful as they transition to contenders in their division.
I was also lucky enough to get out on an Eight and learn how to row. Although the engine and basic mechanics of rowing sweep oars is similar to rowing on an ergometer, the practical application takes some time to get used to. I really look forward to learning more about efficiency and rowing technique from the team this year. All in all, I have to conclude that this is the start of a beautiful partnership between myself and Varsity Crew because we all stand to benefit in ways unimaginable if Vee hadn’t stopped me and initiated this new program. I do think it would be prudent to do my best to get a L1 Cert and perhaps an Olympic lifting cert so that I can better provide for the team. But for now, I’m just excited as hell to be a part of something like this, and I’ll be sure to keep all of you updated as our season progresses.
Yours in Savagery,

Nice job everyone! Did FGB solo from Keene and it was awesome! The faces of those in pure wonder and astonishment at someone sweating at our school gym was great to see! FGB is always a fun time, especially with Sam and Tiff running the show!
Bert, nice job landing that position! The crew team is definitely lucky to have you for sure! Keep up the good work.

Two more additional rounds of 97 & 103. We brought the weight up to 95#, 24" box, & 30# WB. Lots of fun. Good job everyone!

UNREAL DAY OF TRAINING. I can't say enough about our crew, absolute hellish undertaking with the Fight Gone Grand.
9 Rnds 1034 reps I think... Used 95lbs, 24'' Box Jumps, and the Burly for the last 6 rounds. Why not? I couldn't watch everyone suffering in such grand fashion without wanting to join the sadomasochism as it unfolded in all of its glory. Best part? It was all for charity, and we raised a decent chunk of change when all was finally said and done. Thanks to everyone for making the experience something above and beyond what we could have hoped for. And Dan, nice job killing shit in Houston.
