Team Competition Details!
All right, so here's how it's going down this Saturday 2/21, beginning at 11am.
The workout will involve 3-person teams. For scoring purposes, results will only count if there's at least one woman on the team. This doesn't mean that all comers won't be welcome (they most definitely will be), it just means you won't be in the running if you compete with an all-male team.
The Workout:
For Time:
100 power cleans @ 185#/115# (floor to shoulder)
100 push jerks @ 135#/95# (shoulder to overhead)
Followed by 100 burpees
The Rules:
1. During the barbell lifts, only two people can be going at once (one person will always be resting).
2. During burpees, only one person can be going at once (two people will always be resting).
3. The burpees cannot be started until both of the barbell exercises are complete (100 reps of power cleans and push jerks are done with).
4. Teams can divide up the reps for each exercise however they see fit. Everyone on the team must do at least one rep of each of the exercises for their score to count.
The descriptions we've chosen for the barbell lifts can only loosely be called power clean and push jerk. For all intents and purposes, for a rep to count for the clean, you have to move the barbell from the floor to racked on your shoulders, with legs and hips fully extended. For a rep to count for the jerk, you have to move the barbell from your shoulders to overhead, with a portion of the ear visible in front of the shoulder, and with arms, legs, and hips fully extended.
This means you can power clean the barbell; you can deadlift and reverse curl it, you can do whatever you need to. It means you can shoulder press the weight overhead, you can push press, push jerk, or split jerk it. Obviously, more efficient technique will be rewarded, but the choice is yours. You simply have to meet the standards for the movement for a rep to count.

And one more note: Scaling of the workout will be allowed.

The girls and I will be there. They're pretty good at burpees.
> "you can deadlift and reverse curl it"
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in as long as I can be on the super-scalers' "just for kicks" team. My wrist can only take so much weight on the jerks. Love the cfo model, by the way!
I'm in, but I'll have to scale.
Count me in.
Crossfit Santa Clara as of right now will be sending 8, unfortunately I will not be in town so will not be able to participate.
Good luck everyone!
Tom is it ok if I use the camera on Sat for the team wod :)
count me in
I'm in.
Funny Socks?
Tami, I was planning on bringing it for you. I will charge it up.
I will be working out and taking pictures.
biggie,
my bride made plans for saturday, but i hope to make the next team competition..scaled, very scaled.
i want to play
Something isn't right when Daniel has the performance of the day in a workout that requires any sort of running.
That's like me getting the performance of the day with a workout that involves putting more than 95lbs. overhead.
Count on at least one team from Silicon Valley.
Hi Mike,
I'd like to participate. I'll also need to scale.
I'll be there
I'm in, but not as rx'ed.
Me too! I've gotta scale tons, because I'm still not fully healed. I can do lots of burpees, but I won't be much use on cleans (shouldn't do more than 1-2 reps at 60-70 lbs).
I'm in.
I'll be there. I might be able to do a few reps rx'ed. I'll have to try a few before the competition.
I'm in. I glued my hand :)
why do I have this fear that I'll show up and won't get picked for a team? Probably because I'm Top Tall.
You could be on my team, Biggie, but only if you make those noises you make while benching.
We could have a Top Tall team. Mini, we must discuss the appropriate handicap for this...
Also? Connie is a hottie.
3 teams from Silicon Valley- Thank you for hosting!
I'm on the fence. It all depends on whether I get to experience MJJ demand - in a high pitch voice - that Connor actually "do something" after he (Connor) has exhausted himself completing 5 burpees in record time. If that scenario can be guaranteed - I'm in.
1 for the RX'd column, please
Brandon,
Much to your chagrin, we're going to split up the big guys.
I'll count on your participation nonetheless.
**********SUNDAY O-LIFTING PRACTICE************
It's on!!!
We will be getting down to business this Sunday and holding Sunday practice from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. this Sunday. Everyone who has taken an O-lifting Clinic or session from me is welcomed to come! Bring your workouts so we can tune them up.
I know the Donk Sistahs will be there. Who else is in?
Can I team up with two women? Is that allowed?
Brad,
Yes.
I too would like to play, on a scaled basis.
I like the 60-70 lbs. idea. But Mike, I'm sure you knew that already.
Count me in. Scaled. Bonnie, you and I - burpees.
I'm in. Scaled team please:)
Biggie, we are going to need you to really increase your Tourette's outbursts tomorrow. I think we will have an advantage if we scare the other teams.
Angela - A hot little birdie in hot little hotpants tells me you're doing the team workout. That's very exciting & definitely worth the price of admission. Go team donk, go!
I'm in.
count me in for a scaled team
Hey, Khalipa is out of town so I'm bringing some folks up tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting everyone. We will have a few people who will need to scale.
cheers,
DC

I am coming out of semi-retirement for this one, and will have to scale it.
Count SJ in the mix tomorrow. We might have two teams. Don't know if we will have any girls though. Can someone wear a wig and use fe-male load?

Count SJ into the mix. May have two teams but not sure if we'll meet the female requirement.
Hi Mike. I'll be there. Scaling.
Yea Sierra, let's see if my hams can hold up. The tuborosity issue. I have some serious weightlifting porn on my fb page.
I am watching it continuously in order to get fluffed for tomorrow. Watch it. Defying Gravity.
I'll be there.
Angela, I can't make it this sunday. I thought this one was out. Will you be there a week from Sunday? I got a PR in my squat clean the other day, and I credit you!
DC CF Santa Clara - welcome, looking forward to meeting your teams.
Allen - it'll be good to see you tomorrow. Bring Amy!
I'm totally bummed, I won't be there. We have had a intro seminar Saturday planned for a couple months now.
From the looks of it, we will have 2 teams at the most. Thanks for hosting CFO!
