Thursday 21 Apr - Games WOD # 5 - 20min AMRAP - 5 Power Clean (65/45), 10 Toes To Bar, 15 Wall Ball (10ft,9kg / 9ft,6kg)

For the ladies who are still on the Games Leader Board and intend to do this WOD as prescribed (as Rx'd) the wall ball weight with be 8kg instead of 6kg - we don't have 6kg medballs. The pound to kilo conversion puts the weight at just over 6kg anyway so we are only going 1.6 kilo heavier - easy!!

Thursday 14 Apr - Games WOD #4 - 10Min AMRAP - 60 Bar Facing Burpees, 30 OverHead Squat (55/40), 10 Muscle Ups

A 'bar facing burpee' goes like this - do a burpee facing a barbell (with bumper plates attached), jump over the barbell (2 foot takeoff, 2 foot landing), turn around to face the barbell again - repeat for 60 reps! If you are still on the CrossFit Games Leader Board as soon as you do 1 burpee that is a RX'D score, so you remain on the leader board - sweet!

Open Gym will be at the new CFD - 4 Mirambeena St, Darwin, next door to Darwin Crash Repair.
 Come on down and check out the new place!
The help I received from all of you guys today, both moving all the equipment and setting up at the new place was out of control amazing! Heavy lifting, floor laying, bathroom scrubbing, wall painting - I can't believe how much we got done in one day - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

Saturday 2 April - Move from Woolner to Darwin for Time!

  That's right - the 8am WOD for today goes like this. 1. Turn up to the old gym with your car/ute/trailer. 2. Fill it with kettlebells/bumper plates/dumbbells. 3. Drive to new gym at 4 Mirambeena St, Darwin and unload. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until move is complete!
