Today’s WOD is in the format of Fight Gone Bad- a workout patterned after a mixed martial arts fight: 3 rounds that last 5 minutes each with a 1 minute break between rounds. It was reportedly created by CrossFit owner and founder Greg Glassman in trying to come up with a WOD for fighter BJ Penn who wanted a conditioning program that mimicked a WFC fight. The story goes, Penn finished the WOD and said something like, “That wasn’t like a fight… that was more like a fight gone bad.” The name stuck. In the workout, each minute focuses on a different movement- and you work at it for max reps.
Today’s installment of FGB is the 5th Version that we have done over the past two years- using 5 movements but only one of which (sumo deadlift high pull) exists in the original FGB. Today we add unbroken pull up and push ups for targeting the “McGee Challenge” and we add power snatch and dragon flag sit ups because, well, they get the heart rate up and the midline taxed!
