Chris Moore, CrossFit Memphis Powerlifting Coach & Competitor

Our Powerlifting coach and competitor, Chris Moore, had an article published yesterday on EFS. Click here to read “Fat and Back Again: Diary of a Former Super Heavy”.

“Fight Gone Bad”

Three rounds of:

Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points and post them to comments.

Congrats to Matt Bledsoe on his victory MMA debut fight Saturday night. We’ll be posting the video from that fight tomorrow on the blog.

Matt Bledsoe Victory

To address those fighters that I talked to on Saturday night:

CrossFit Memphis focuses on strength and conditioning. Our primary training program is broad in design and offers a lot of variety. For this reason it is a program that works great for fighters and better than anything that you’ll find in “Muscle & Fiction”. We are currently putting together a training program for fighters and we are going to offer it at an affordable and fair price.

At our facility we do have mats where some do train to fight. There is no structured instruction, but many do trade skills here. If you are seeking instruction in regard to fighting and MMA feel free to contact us so we may point you in the right direction.

Thank you.
