Ty Hanson shared this with me this morning: Men’s Fitness – The 6 Most Brutal CF WODs. I have no idea why, but I got a little excited about it. As I began to share it with a few people, I got the exact same response: “Oh yeah, I saw that a while ago.”
WHAT THE EFF, PEOPLE!?
My WOD made number six on the list of the all-time-most-elitest (that also means it was dead last, btw), and none of my friends could even take the time to mention it to me? For me this is like winning a Teen Choice award for best screenplay in a foreign film (think about it…).
That’s it. Ty Hanson, you are officially my new besty. Buy a Harley, and some Lulu.
Editorial note: “Filthy Fifty” is NUMBER ONE? Are you effing kidding me? It has Jumping Pull-ups, and Back Extensions. Congrats Men’s Fitness, you really know your stuff. You’ve given the title of “most brutal WOD ever” to a workout that has a scaled movement – Jumping Pullups (which btw, is one of the best movements ever…if you want to catch Rhabdo), a warmup movement – Back Extensions, weighted jumping jacks – 45# Push Press, and the most cheated on movement in the history of exercise – Knees to Elbows. Maybe you guys should stick to the “Six-Pack Abs in 2 Minutes a Day”, and “Put 7 Inches on your Arms in One Week” stuff. “Fran” is #1, “Murph” is #2, period. Call an expert the next time you want to jump on the bandwagon four years too late.
Speaking of everyone on Earth qualifying for the AO. Drew Bignall qualified on Saturday as well. This is noteworthy because Drew had full reconstructive knee surgery just four months ago. Drew is the fifth 94kg Outlaw male to qualify for the AO—so far.
