Crossfit Frenzy

I will use a lot of Crossfit terminology I'll start you out with the most basic: WOD = Workout Of the Day. Hope was a WOD done by Crossfit gym's around the country to raise money for St. Judes Children's Hospital cancer research. Heidi and I did it at Crossfit Bakersfield.

Power snatches

WOD: "Hope"
Three rounds for reps -
Burpees
75 pound Power snatch
Box jump, 24" box
75 pound Thruster
Chest to bar Pull-ups

Jon - 179 reps RX
Heidi - 169 reps scaled

"Hope" has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On the call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.
