The Filthy Fifty.
First of all, big thanks to Amanda, Sara, Brian & Tom for coming out on Sunday for the Filthy Fifty! This was our first of hopefully many monthly challenges. If you're not familiar with the Filthy Fifty it goes like this, 50 reps of each of the following.....
Box Jumps
Jumping Pull-ups
Kettlebell swings (35 lb)
Walking Lunges
Knees to Elbows
Push Press (45 lb Olympic Bar)
Back Extensions (we don't have a GHD, subbed in Superman's)
Wall Ball Shots(10 ft target)
Burpees
Double Unders
It was Amanda's first exposure to an extended workout like this so she did 30 of each and used a 35lb bar for her push presses.
Tom came in from Colgate and Brian made the trek up from SUNY Cortland. Sara even made it back in after proclaiming how much she liked(?) the Filthy Fifty.
The consensus when it was all over is that the knees to elbows were the worst with burpees running a close second. That being said everyone worked very hard & turned in good performances. Looks like next months challenge will be on November 16th & will be the CrossFit total. Hope to see you all there!!
