Thrusters
Burpees
There is no time cap.
Information
Weightlifting is on with Colette Tuesday and Thursday evening – this is a great way to supplement your CrossFit training program and to refine the technical aspects of Olympic lifting.
Kids and Girls WOD will be off this weekend as CFG host another Level 1 Trainer course. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The Open – Logistics and stuff
Here’s roughly how it will run today:
You come in at the normal WOD times and a prescribed warm up will be listed on the board. You will be allocated to heats as you arrive but anyone with an urgent requirement to get through quickly should make themselves known to a coach.
Half of the people participating will be carrying out the workout; the other half will be judging (counting reps and checking standards). Once you have finished judging your buddy, return your clipboard etc to the judging area and then go get set up for your heat. If you have just finished a heat, be prepared to return the favour of judging your buddy. Judging the movement standard to the best of your ability is imperative for keeping the spirit of the competition alive – if you are not prepared to uphold the basic movement standards as described in the workout description, please ask another member to judge in your stead.
You may complete 16.5 outside of the normal times but please be aware that there might be nobody available to judge you at that time – bring a buddy. Better yet, make it in for one of the scheduled classes and soak up the atmosphere.
You are welcome to bring cakes, sweets, balloons, fancy dress, a strong sense of irony, sparkling wines etc. Be on time, be patient and give it your best shot.
Turn up, throw down, have fun: don’t be a d**k.
Reebok CrossFit Games Open 2016 – Team Update
We cannot thank everyone enough for signing up. The turnout has been truly amazing – 216 athletes at the last count. This places us as an unprecedented 3rd place worldwide on strength of numbers. This is CFG’s largest ever team; beating last year’s numbers by 3.
The massive turnout from the members of CFG has made us a prominent force in European CrossFit and now, on the main stage in front of the world. This year, at the time the roster closed, we were the largest team in Europe for the fourth year in a row. Reebok have said that they will make us exclusive, limited edition, can’t get them anywhere, CFG tee shirts. Art work will be with you soon for your vote and we will get them out to you ASAP.
Standby for the CrossFit.com video article on CrossFit Glasgow and our amazing community.
We owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Our heartfelt thanks go out to you all for putting us here.
