CrossFit Champions had the pleasure this last Saturday to spend some time with many of the TX CrossFit Affiliates at GSX Athletics in Ft. Worth. Jeff Tucker and his staff were great hosts and were able to share a lot of great information.
It was great seeing all our good friends from across the Houston area and TX!
Looking forward to the next one!

Saturday’s Free Workout was excellent!! (if I do say so myself) This workout pitted teams against each other in the 4 core body-weight movements – pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and squats – plus a race to cover 3200 meters for extra points.

Great job, everyone!!
Tabata That
5 Stations – MAX EFFORT at 8 x intervals of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest at each station – score for that station is lowest scoring interval.

Squats
Pull-ups (if jumping pull-ups, divide score half)
Sit-ups
Push-ups
Row (for calories instead of reps)
Total score for workout is sum of scores from each station.
Note: we will be watching for perfect form on all movements!

Great job to everyone that did this workout. We know it was a frustrating one but you all did a great job. The OH Squat is a complex movement that requires a lot of concentration. You should all be very proud that you completed it, regardless of how it was scaled.
As you look at the pics, look for the good (active shoulders, arms straight up, heels grounded) and not so good (non-active shoulders, arms/body forward leaning, weight distributed forward to toes/balls of feet) form.
