Wondering how you can see four of Crossfit London’s ‘men’ in dresses and get a free meal in the process? No doubt all gym members are aware, but for those of you who are not yet members at Crossfit London, allow to me to explain the challenge.
The Challenge:
Complete at least one (1) muscle-up – a full pull-up followed by a dip on gymnastic rings (video below) – by April first, 2010, or perform a workout of coach’s choice in a dress provided by the contestant. Please note, a skirt does not qualify as a dress but a gown does.
Why wear a dress?
The muscle-up is considered an ‘A-level’ skill for young boys in gymnastics training. For men it is an expectation. This means that no positive score is awarded to an adult male for the performance of a muscle-up during a routine. Nothing further needs to be said on this subject.
Why should I watch this?
As an introduction to Crossfit training and the realities of human physical potential? For the malicious pleasure derived from witnessing the humiliation of others? Perhaps, but more importantly, for the FREE BBQ. A barbeque will be in operation for those of you still on the fence about attending the workout, in the hope that the promise of free food will make your decision easier. You should also want to be there to witness four of our athletes settle their bet and, just maybe, complete their rite of passage into the ranks of our muscle-up club.
What do I need to do?
First: be sure to forward this message to any and all that you think might enjoy this event, and anyone interested in learning more about Crossfit. (Do that now!)
Second: charge you camera batteries and make sure you have plenty of available memory.
Third: confirm your attendance by posting a comment or email info@crossfitlondon.ca
Time: April 24 at 11am (Book it!)
Place: Crossfit London. 525 First Street. Unit 5
Juicy details:
The four participants will be lead through a thorough warm-up to make sure that no one is hurt in the rush to put on a dress and complete the workout as quickly as possible. Muscles may be cooler than they have otherwise been conditioned to be as a result of the increased breeziness of the dress, so safety is a concern. We will be practicing all of the skills required to perform the many tasks that will make up this workout before the actual workout itself begins.
As a final incentive for those still undecided, Crossfit London will be offering an unconditional re-rep guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with any repetition performed during the workout the participant will be required to do it again, just to put a smile on your face.
