The Masters Tour 2016 - NC Pride

Concord NC - October 1st

2016 Masters Tour is here... with a projected 3,500 competitors likely to join the battle this year, we are looking forward to seeing you with us. Masters are a focus for The Garage Games, because we are masters, and we have been following CrossFit.com since 2005 (no affiliation to the Garage Games). Veterans as it were, and we know that this competitive edge gives us a life edge. Gain the edge, have fun, and compete without expectation. It is simply fun to have this as our sport! #mastersrock #betheone

The 2016 Masters Tour Brings you an opportunity for local competition, added to national results, giving you a large competition feel when comparing your results, but an incredible community driven experience.  We say incredible because with masters hanging with masters… there is nothing but love.

WOD # 1 Masters Tour 2016
“The Couplet”

9-6-12-3-18 :

ANY Squat and Shoulder to Overhead (barbell from the floor at the call of go)

Transitional reps can be Thruster FROM THE FRONT RACK only.

The ANY squat means you can position the barbell in a back squat position for any of the squat reps, but it must be returned to the front, touch the shoulders/clavicle for the shoulder to overhead to initiate.  

More Simple than you think. It is a basic couplet where you will do 9 squats, 9 Shoulder toOverhead, 6 squats, 6 shoulder to overhead, 12 squats, 12 shoulder to overhead,3 squats, 3 shoulder to overhead, then 18 squats and 18 shoulder to overhead.

The kicker, is that you choose where the barbell is for thesquats.  The Beauty of this, is that itis a WHOLE lot easier to do back squats than front squats, so as you fatigue,you can keep yourself in the WOD by putting the barbell in the back squatposition, and pushing forward.  But, howlong can you take it?  Will you be ableto stay in it through the 12 reps, or will you have to put the bar down?  The 3 are easy at this point, but what aboutthe 18?

That is the beauty of the design, it is brutal to keep thebarbell on your back or in the front rack the whole time.  But some can do it.  

RX:
30-39 : 135/95
40-49 : 115/75

Scaled:
30-49 : 95/65
50+ : 65/45 (movement restrictions allow moving this barbell to overhead in any fashion, as such, it is ok to bring it to the hang or ground, and snatch it if that is easier on the athlete)

6 minute time cap, get credit for all reps done.
