While the NFPL is a total pipe dream now, if it works, it'll be the first legit competition to the Games. Eventually the top level athletes would have to pick one or the other, unless they can really survive with no off season. I've been fascinated with this idea since I heard about it a couple months back and with them getting big times Games athletes to commit already, I'm even more stoked. Really like the idea that OPT is heavily involved too.

Interesting to see how that plays out in the future.

I think anything that gives the athletes more freedom to come up with strategies and game plans makes it more interesting than just laying out a WOD and saying 'GO!'<br /><br />Tony Budding has sort of hinted that his new league, NFPL, would have events like this, where strategy was just as important as your ability to get the work done.

But it is possible. I actually had an idea for a similar workout that might make sense at regionals (or the Open, I suppose):<br /><br />EMOM x 10<br />5 unbroken thrusters/squats/whatever - athlete picks the weight each round, score is the total weight accumulated. However, failing to reach 5 in any round gets you nothing for that round.<br /><br />So you would end up seeing lots of strategy as athletes pushed the limits of how heavy they think they could go. I think something like this would be interesting considering how popular the EMOM-style workouts have become in the community.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-23298703641331730732014-03-26T10:06:44.800-04:002014-03-26T10:06:44.800-04:00Your guess is as good as mine.

So now the door is open for them to possibly expand the list of movements. I'd be surprised if they use pistols, unless they come at the end of a workout (like muscle-ups). Although I'd be fine with them coming up, I think they are still too challenging for many average CrossFitters to perform Rx'd.<br /><br />Another possibility is that snatches come back, since they were used very early on, the weight was super-light, and clean-and-jerks were actually allowed instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-63122327807600527172014-03-26T08:16:58.732-04:002014-03-26T08:16:58.732-04:00Please let us see pistols! :-)Please let us see pistols! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-89546352876851613922014-03-26T08:00:47.070-04:002014-03-26T08:00:47.070-04:00My initial guess:

Your score is reps x weight. If you did 50 reps with 100# your score would be 5,000.<br /><br />I get excited imagining the data this would produce!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-85444671587047445142014-03-26T06:13:58.613-04:002014-03-26T06:13:58.613-04:00I think there will be another wild card: rope clim...I think there will be another wild card: rope climbs<br />Perhaps an ascending thruster ladder and rope climbs... kind of like "legless" from the 2013 Games, but you get to use your legs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064833762331539439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-10376294963791697792014-03-25T22:54:56.934-04:002014-03-25T22:54:56.934-04:00Well, I'm going to call for a single movement ...Well, I'm going to call for a single movement of a new move... this week will be <br /><br />AMRAP 5 of:<br /><br />burpee-squat-clean-thruster with 50lb db's.Jeff Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554902171642268684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-33554638033057919942014-03-25T22:13:35.506-04:002014-03-25T22:13:35.506-04:00No triplets yet this year...
