What is the Purpose?

WOD
F'N Filthy 50's

What the hell is the purpose of a wod that is designed to seriously crush you like this one can if you do it with max output and perfect form?  These girls in this video smash this workout.  Yes there are some errors in form.  Certainly a judge would take away reps all over the place considering what we expect out of our members here at CFES.  So imagine today as a way to compare an insane benchmark workout that only comes around once per year at best.  The purpose of these long rep wods are to push your body to the limits once in a while.  The reason we do all the heavy lifting and increased form pushing around here is to see what the payoff will be on workouts like this.  So make sure you are accountable to the form we stress around here and get your true baseline results for a workout like this.  Listen to your coach!!! Don't do 50 damn reps and blow a gasket or bust your ass so hard you are worthless for the next 5 days.  If you are choosing to look for a shot on the board and have done workouts along these lines… then go for it and push it all the way.  FORM! FORM! FORM!

On an important side note we would like to send a huge congrats to John Michelmore for having his first Grandaughter.  Here's to 3 generations doing FRAN all at the same time in the not to distant futre.
John's Grandchild

  2. Filthy 50’s is bad enough, but I wanted to thank Travis for busting out whatever the hell he was eating right about the time I was getting nauseous from the burpees. That was a real test of my gag reflex.
    Great showing at the Ocho this morning! Angela was back and went Rx on the 50’s for the first time, Sarah W killed the 50’s, Cherie with a PR, Brian with a 3 second PR, Rod went Rx and broke 30 Minutes and …… Big Rob went Rx on the 50’s. Bad Add big man!

    I’m sure little Katie would say thank you to all the compliments if she could. Of course, I would have to agree with all of them!
