On Sunday 15th August the All Out Community came together to enjoy our annual box throwdown. It was the perfect opportunity for members to get back on the competition floor and enjoy a fun and fierce day of fitness after nearly 2 years of missing competitions due to COVID. There were 2 categories for each gender, RX and Scaled, with all teams being paired at random. The atmosphere was electric all day for our in house event; excitement, nerves, lots of hard work, but most importantly, plenty of laughs and enjoyment.
Members worked their way through 3 gruelling WODs, testing each component of fitness. WOD 1 involved a 'You Go I Go' format, with handstand push ups, toes to bar, dumbbell cleans and double unders.
WOD 2 got gritty as members combatted 'Double Grettel', 20 rounds for time (you go I go): 3 clean and jerks, 3 bar facing burpees.
WOD 3 combined cardio machine sprints and a weightlifting complex in the remaining time (1 squat clean, 1 hang squat clean, 1 front squat, 1 STOH). WOD 3 was particularly memorable, with both members and spectators lifting the roof during part B of this workout. Just look at the reaction from these guys!
The final workout was also split in to 2 parts. Only 4 teams from each category made it through to the final WOD to battle it out for a place on the podium. Part A included a chipper of bar muscle ups, chest to bar, DB OH lunges, box jump overs and wall balls. With Part B being a max calorie row in remaining time. This one got spicy...
