Scoring:
Each competitor will be assigned a judge to count reps and police the range of motion standards. If you’ve got any special issues with a movement please be sure to communicate it to your judge before starting the event. Judges are expected to hold their athlete to the standards listed above and count reps out loud during each movement. If an athlete fails to hit any of the standards the judge will call “Foul”. Fouls are not debatable, focus on hitting the next rep with full range of motion.

    I’ve posted scaling options for FGB in the post itself. Here are the scaling options for “Angie,” today’s WOD:
    Big Dawgs:
    As Rx’d
    Make every rep ROM (“range of motion”) perfect
    Pull ups:
    Make them Games-worthy reps. Full extension of the elbows and shoulder girdle to chest touching bar!
    Pushups:
    Full body touch at bottom, full extension at top(press down with your shoulders)
    Sit ups:
    Ab Mat if you have one, otherwise full range, shoulder blades and shoulders touch ground to sitting position
    Squats:
    Sink well below parallel full extension at top. Do not be satisfied giving up the lumbar curve in the bottom position or not fully extending the hips in the top.
    Pack:
    Same rules apply for form.
    50-75 Pull ups
    50-75 Push ups
    50-75 Sit ups
    50-75 Squats
    Sit ups should either be Ab Mat or full range anchored sit ups
    Puppies and Buttercups:
    For time:
    20 Pull-ups or 25 Beginner or Assisted Pull ups
    20 Push-ups or 30 Box Push ups or 35 Wall Push ups
    20 Sit ups (do not do crunches)
    20-50 Squats (depending on ability)

    I will note on the squatting dud article, the demo of the ideal squat to strive for is above parallel. This is nit-picking as I’m sure it’s a photo error. for those of you reading, you do want to keep loaded just like he says. Just don’t try to reverse that motion above parallel.

    You can join FGB today at any of the WOD times (11:00, 12:00, 1:00).

    Then attempted my first Angie.

    Total time: 40 minutes and change. I hate pull-ups.
    Nice work to all the FGB fundraisers and participants!!

  • torch

    FGB – 385 post intermittent fast. Not a PR (408) but still was some good pain therapy.

  • Mike Mishik

    314…pr by 3 reps…great job everyone, some kick ass efforts

  • Alexei

    FGB for two great causes…
    Row:33/15/15
    WB:20/17/18
    SDHP:20/12/12
    Box:20/15/15
    PP:12/12/14
    Total: 253 (PR by 11)
    By what dark magic, I don’t know. Had a cold this entire week, and sometime in the first round (right after the first set of rows or so) my lungs shrunk to roughly the size of walnuts… didn’t even get to break much of a sweat because I just couldn’t breathe…
    Congrats and great work to all that participated!

  • Bari

    Congrats to everyone who participated in FGB, you guys looked great!
    I did Angie, 28mins using the green band for pullups.

  • Sara

    FGB: 250 something, it was either 253 or 257…
    Thanks to everyone who participated today, came to watch, supported while doing Angie, and especially those who donated!

  • Jai

    31:48 Angie
    Pull ups: 25 purple string, kipping. The rest with blue band.
    Push ups from knees, just couldn’t do them regular after the pull ups.
    Sit ups unanchored but not froggie style as that does something weird and painful to my hip.
    Squats per usual, was probably making strange faces by this point. .
    Purple string slowed me down a lot but I’m still happy!
    Congratulations to everyone doing Fight Gone Bad, you were all really impressive!

    A brief testimonial on the power of Crossfit…
    I’ve been a member of the Black Box for about two months, doing the WODs 4-5x/week. This morning I ran the NYRR Fifth Avenue Mile for the first time in four years. When I was in my late 20s and thought I was “in shape”, the best time I put up was 5:15.
    Today I ran 4:56. My legs felt powerful the whole way and the sustained intensity of the race mirrored a lot of our workouts, so I didn’t burn out. It felt great to see the results of all those squats and KB swings in competition.
    FGB afterwards? Not so great (see elaborate excuse above), but congrats and thanks to Mike M. for putting up a great PR and pushing me all the way.

  • Avery

    I did a right arm version of FGB this morning with a total score of 259.
    I lost my scorecard but did 12 kg kettlebell push press, 16 kg kettlebell sdlhp, 25 pound dumbbell thrusters, row, and box steps ups.
    Hardest movement by far was the thrusters, rowing was surprisingly not that bad.
    So much fun seeing that many people run through the workout today – such great efforts from everyone.
    Also congrats to everyone who ran the 5th ave mile – those times are seriously fast!

  • Tim B

    WB – 15,14,12
    SDLHP – 16,14,15
    Box – 28,25,20
    PP – 28,17,14
    Row – 13,10,8
    Total: 249
    Started with Box jumps
    a PR by 11
    happy to have a PR but wanted a higher score, next time
    Thanks to Keith and the folks at virtuosity for some great bbq

    Great job everyone today, nice to be able to get everyone through.

  • Rickke

    Did the FGB challenge at CF Oakland.
    235 as Rx’d – not even close to my PR, but I had a great time. Great space and great people at CFO.
