CrossFit Algoa (Port Elizabeth) WOD – Tues, 29 September 2020

 

Featured Video – Games History: 2007 Hopper Event… One of CrossFit’s standards of fitness is based on the hopper model, which implies fitness requires an ability to perform well at any task randomly drawn from a hopper. The first event of the first CrossFit Games followed this model. Exercises were drawn from a real hopper to create a workout consisting of a 1,000-m row buy-in followed by a 5-round couplet of pull-ups and heavy — for the day — push jerks. Brett Marshall proved the effectiveness of his butterfly-style kipping pull-up, winning the event with a time of 13:07. When the event was repeated at the 2013 Games, the progress of the sport was dramatically displayed, with nearly every athlete besting the winning times from 2007 (Video and Facts courtesy of CrossFit, Inc.).
