Gymnation Challenge 2013 - Crossfit

[Pseudonym]

Wow. :-O

Welcome to the forum, Oxxx. You made short work of that one... amazing! How long have you been crossfitting for?

[T.Rex]

Wow! Thought we'd see scores under 5 minutes but not under four. Nice

Hey people

I'm Ryan from my garage gym.  Caught a glimpse of this challenge some where amongst the posts on facebook so thought I would give it a jam.  Toes to bars let me down big time.

 

 

Body weight: 81.7kg

Thruster weight 45kg

Time: 4:00 = 240sec

 

240-(10x30.3255)= -63.255 points

 

If you watch carefully you can see me smash my chin in the bar on the last pull up of round two.

 

Cheers

Nice one. And just 16 secs away from beating Oxxx! Do you reckon you could pick up that time on the final toes to bar?

[ryanstyles]

Yeah think so, usually they arn't too bad, but was having an off day on them.  I'm blaming the ghd sit ups on the weekend.  Could maybe up the thruster a few kgs just to get that edge.  Will see how the rest of the week pans out and might fit anouther try in.

[Optimass]

I remember when pull ups meant you had to pull yourself up hahaha ... sike your minds - its all good.  Great vids guys

 

[Oxxx]

Had another attempt with 50Kg thrusters with a time of 3:40. (score -134). Got home and watched video, only did 9 pull ups in first round. No Rep. #$%@.

Oh well, hope noone overtakes my first attempt. 

 

[ryanstyles]

That sucks oxx.  Just had a go with 60kg thrusters and it went terrible.  First round was done in 1min flat.  Second round was going good until I dropped the thrusters and the weights went straight through the deck.  Got the weights unstuck and carried on, but the extra weight had taken its toll on my muscles and lungs and by the time I struggled through the last round I ended up with a score of -14.  Too finish it off I threw up in the garden.

[Pseudonym]

Oh, bugger, Oxxx! Not that you needed to shave that time down any further...

Ryan, that is awesome. That shows true dedication to smash up your deck and keep going anyway! That's hilarious - did you get it on camera?! (Uh, I mean, "I'm really sorry to hear about your deck...")

[ryanstyles]

Here you go Pseudonym.

 

[Leeroid]

LMAO funny shit man, do you have to repair it now?

[majorflavazz]

wholly hak crack up lol

 

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

haha ryan funny vid lol good demonstration of importance of solid flooring.

also good display of your work ethic how you kept on going without making a scene, same to your cameraman who tried to hold it in as not to distract you

[ryanstyles]

Yeah just renting this place so gonna have to fix up the deck, but shouldn't be too hard, just chuck down some new planks.

Been meaning to build a proper lifting platform, but havent gotten around to it yet.  Really I have just been to lazy to borrow a trailer and go pick up some plywood.

[StussyNz]

That was crack up; f*ck i'd be annoyed though...

[pyro]

hahahaaha awesome dude, needed a good laugh. Well done.

[Oxxx]

Hey Pseudonym, Got your private message, but can't figure out how to reply to you? I'm not usually this technologically challenged (I work in IT).

i think you need 5 posts total to reply to send PMs here so just make 1 more post and you should be able to reply

[Pseudonym]

Ah yes, that'll be a bit of an issue. As Ron says, you'll need another post before you can send PMs. Is there no notification of that? I'll add it to the To-Do list.
