Scoring

Each competitor will be assigned a judge from a different team 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.

At 5:30pm on Friday we're going to meet to set up the gym for Fight Gone Bad.  If you're available to lend a hand please let me know in the comments section.  We'll need to move some mats, set up the equipment and make sure things are ready to go for Saturday. I don't predict it taking longer than about an hour.

We also could use some other general volunteers for FGB on Saturday to help run scores and register all the athletes.  Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com
So far we've got Paul C, Brandy M and Malcolm S helping out. Who else is in???

Accessory Work
Choose your weakest Fight Gone Bad movement and do some focus training on it. Here are some options:
Technique Phase: Practice the movement in a fatigue free environment.  Make every rep perfect.
Consistency Phase: See if you can do 15-25 reps while maintaining consistent technique. If form breaks down, take a break.
Intensity Phase: Perform 3-5 one minute pressure tests for max reps. Either rest as needed between attempts or set a rest interval.

Tire Flips!

Congratulations CFSBK for raising $15,290 for two great causes!

FGB is a social event, please feel free to invite family and friends to check out all the action.  This is a great opportunity to show everyone what this "crazy CrossFit thing" is all about.
