CrossFit Open Guessing Game Wod 5

By: 0

Want to try to win something? for doing something super easy? Get in on our weekly guessing game!

Prize: $10 Rogue Gift Card

When does it start: The guessing is officially open as soon as this post goes up each week. So, now!

Who can guess: Any current or past members of CrossFit South Bend! Shout out to all of the CFSB Alumnus.

How do you get in on the action: To get your guess in, all you have to do is post to the comments section of THIS POST.

What you are going to post:

You must enter both…

1. The movement(s) that you think will be released in tonight’s wod.

2. Time domain: This will be the tie breaker, you may guess the same as another person, but if you have the closest time domain, you win. You may also guess that the workout will be open ended.

If two people accidentally guess the same movements and time domains, it will go to the person who posted it first.

Winner goes to the person that gets the movements correct that week. 

So, the comments section should look like this.

Brandon: Thrusters and Burpees – open ended.

Savannah: Pull Ups and Box Jumps – 5 minutes

Emily C: Pull Ups and box jumps – 7 minutes.

Carl: Thrusters – 4 minutes

Amy: Cat Stuff – Open ended

Robby: Sitting – 35 minutes

You get the idea

How many Guesses?

You must post ONLY ONE GUESS PER EACH PERSON EACH WEEK.

Ready, 3…2…1…Go!

What movements might I see in the open?

Really work on pacing during this session today, although we aren’t putting scores up, this is for you to figure out what you are capable of keeping up consistently with burpees while fatigued.

Box Walks – Handstand Walks:

Stay upside down for as long as possible, keep moving for the entire 45 seconds.

L-sit:

Find a scaling that is manageable for almost the entire time

Goals for 2015 – Wednesday Deadline!

By: 0

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]Hey there Everyone!

The Deadline to fill out the goals sheet is this coming Wednesday the 25th!

We are gearing up for the rest of the season through 2015 after this years CrossFit Open, and we want to know a few things.

We want to know YOUR GOALS for 2015.

For those of you who will take just a couple minutes to fill out the form below, its incredibly important to us.

If you have never asked yourself these questions before, and don’t have any goals in mind currently, this will be a good mental exercise for a lot of you. To create some inner discourse about rediscovering your current goals, exploring new goal possibilities, and help us with our approach to those goals within the next year.

If you’ve asked yourself these questions before, it may be time to reevaluate your current goals; how far you’ve come, how they have changed, how to rededicate to old goals, and how we can adapt to meet your new goals.

Not only will it be a big driving factor of the programs we will be launching in the near future, and how we direct our attention to services, but as well, it will give us a great idea of what drives you to do what you do, and how we can help you get to where you want, faster.

Now if you could please, scroll down to check out the survey!

**We have also sent this survey out via email to everyone  who is signed up to our CrossFit Members Mailing List – Didn’t get the email?
