WODKnocker.com

Hello,

Welcome back and thank you to subscribing my post. Alas the political drama is over again. Here in MA we elected a New Rep in Elizabeth Warren and we voted to keep Obama, who ended up winning. Just shows us for a state that claims to be independent we are very liberal, Democratic. Also it shows us how much of a Republic we are.

But that is not why I am here. Here I am typing due to Crossfit. I wanted to share with you a new online competition that I will be competeing in. The competition is called WodKnocker. The competition costs five dollars to enter in a weekly challenge and two dollars for the monthly challenge. The website to find out more is WodKnocker.com or email Founders. The rules are as follows:

1. Don’t edit your video, we have smart tech guys we will figure it out and you will be disqualified.
2. If you shouldn’t be in the scaled division, don’t be in it.  If you win it 3 times you will be required to do RX.
3. Be safe and have fun.

And the week four challenge is:

WEEK 4 WOD:   Sunday 8:00p – Friday 11:59p (eastern)
A.   5 min to Find 1 RM Snatch
(Points:  1 = 1st, 2 =2nd, etc….)
B.  3 min MAX BURPEES with TOUCH or PLATE HOP
(Points:  1=1st, 2 = 2nd, etc…)
WINNER:  LOWEST POINT TOTAL OF THE TWO DISCIPLINES
VERY IMPORTANT INFO: PLEASE READ
THERE ARE STILL DIVISIONS IN THIS WORKOUT:  SCALED, RX, CHALLENGE
SCALED:  
MEN (snatch below 115lbs)   Burpees to Plate
WOMEN (snatch below 75lbs)  Burpees to Plate
RX:  
MEN (snatch 116-200)    Burpees with 6″ Touch
WOMEN (snatch 76 – 115lbs)   Burpees with 6″ Touch
Challenge:  
MEN (snatch > 200lbs)   Burpees with 6″ Touch
WOMEN (snatch > 115lbs)  Burpees with 6″ Touch

Then the monthly challenge is:

Are you ready for the WODknocker monthly challenge for November? You’ve come to the right place! Knock this one out!
MAX DEADHANG PULLUPS
This is 1 continuous set. Once off the bar you are finished.

As for how I am doing it. Look at the 11-7-12 workout. The Wod is planned in. I will be doing this with the monthly challenge as well.

Neal Maddox

11-6-12

Hello,

First of all today I want to say get up and VOTE. Every one's vote does count, and you need to make sure your voice is heard.

OK in today's post I want to talk about one of Crossfit Journal's newest entries. The entry is called "Meet Neal Maddox". Neal Maddox is a three time games competitor, affiliate owner, and part of the seminar training staff. Neal Maddox was truly inspiring in the video. He shows us his life and what crossfit has done to him.

Yet the reason I am writing about the video is concept he brings up, KNOWING YOUR ENVIORMENT. What I mean by this is his goal is to send people to the games just like any affiliate, but the way he does it is different. He refuses to just send you into competition representing Crossfit X-Treme Athletics. You must first goal to a regional and watch. He said it is the base to who he will allow to go. He can tell from you being there if you are ready or not.
