So we are opening registration to teens ages 15-18. Under 18 must have signed parent/guardian consent. There will not be a separate division. They will register under RX or Scaled and get to play with the big boys (or dominate).

3 Days AWAY! + Heat List

So we sent an official “Welcome To The Beatdown” email out on Sunday afternoon and most people received it in their spam folder but who the hell really checks that?!

Apologize for any inconvenience but here is what was sent out:
Barbell Beatdown Athletes,

Welcome to the Beatdown! We are officially less than one week away and the anticipation is building. We hope you have been training hard as we are excited to launch the first ever Vegas Barbell Beatdown. The event will run from 9am-3pm on Saturday, May 4th with Athlete check-ins starting at 8:15am.

Please make sure to be on site no later then 8:45am to ensure proper time for check in/registration. At check in, you will receive a tentative itinerary inclusive of your assigned Heats. Our staff is working diligently to ensure a timely event so it is important that you note what Heat and tentative time you are assigned to so we can stick to the schedule. Heats will be released early this week and you will be responsible for being warmed up and prepped for WODs prior to your heat starting. We will post this on the FB Page and Event Website to review. Heats have been assigned at random within your competing group.

Please note that Athletes/Spectators should bring any drinks/ snacks/food desired as we will have limited water/snacks and refreshments on site.

There are 3 WODs in this competition and only the top 10 athletes in each division move on to perform the final WOD #3.

We have tried our hardest to keep the athlete profiles updated on the website but if for some reason we’ve missed you please shoot an email over to campfitforce@yahoo.com subject: “athlete profile” containing an action workout pic, gym you train at and 1RM numbers (deadlift, back squat, clean&jerk, snatch, max pullups).

If you haven’t “liked” the Facebook page yet please do so here: https://www.facebook.com/VegasBarbellBeatdown

ONLY 3 Days til the BEATDOWN!

3 Weeks Out + Movement Prep!

Alright Guys, so we are officially 3 weeks away from the 1st Ever Vegas Barbell Beatdown.

Registration will close 1 week prior to the event on April 27th.

I’m almost positive the Beatdown will sell out by the end of this week though. We are currently 75% full!

Check out the teaser video if you haven’t seen it already!

Thanks to Chad Cole from CrossFit Apollo and Trevor Scelso from Sin City Bootcamp for testing out the WODs.

Here is a list of movements to expect during the Beatdown:

– Double Unders (Maybe Triple Unders?)

– Squats (Front. . .maybe Back. . .maybe Overhead)

– Olympic Lifts (Might be Clean&Jerks or maybe Snatches)

– Running (Oh yah RUNNING! Maybe 100m sprint or it might be 2 miles)

– Handstands (Walks or maybe just HSPU or both) Scaled division don’t fret, we have a scaled version

– Kettlebell Swings, Snatches, SDHP

– Jumping

– Wall Balls

– Toes To Bar

– Carries

–  And of course BURPEES!

 

If you haven’t signed up yet because you were afraid that there would be movements you couldn’t do, here are movements you won’t be seeing at the Beatdown:

– Pistols

– Muscle-Ups

– Pullups

Register Here NOW! —-> http://campfitforce.eventbee.com/event?eid=915494451

Hopefully this allows you to program for the next 3 weeks if theres anything on the list that you absolutely suck at otherwise you should always be prepared for the UNKNOWN!
