For the last three years, Crossfit affiliates hold a Athlete’s for a Cure event where they do Fight Gone Bad. The money raised goes to fight Prostate Cancer and the Wounded Warrior Project. Yesterday, I joined crossfitters from several of the Houston area Crossfit Affiliates for the event. Bayou City Crossfit, Crossfit Houston, Crossfit Katy, Crossfit Sugarland, all joined with the event’s host Crossfit Breakaway Speed.
Fight Gone Bad is a workout originally designed for BJ Penn to mimic MMA fight. It is three 5 minute rounds where you spend 1 minute at 5 different exercise stations on the call of rotate you move to the next station as quickly as possible. The score is based on number of reps of each exercise and the number of calories on the C2 Rower. The five exercises as prescribed are:
Wall Ball 20# (squat and throw 20# dynamax med ball to a 10 ft target)
Sumo Deadlift High Pull 75 lbs
Box Jump 20"
Push Press 75 lbs
C2 Rower
My total score was 278. I started on fire with the first round. My round totals were 112, 85, 87. I died the second round and just couldn’t recover. I want to get to 300 in this workout. It was fun time hanging with the people from all over Houston.
