Dalbir's write up on the SacTown Throwdown:
Sactown Throwdown was a fun event that put us out of our comfort zone. Event 1 was a strongman ladder that for Team CFM was a strong Woman Ladder, Jessica made it the farthest out of the group advancing 12 stations to the 135# atlas stone. She valiantly tried but just couldn't get it up, her log jerk at 115# pounds looked solid. Event #2 was a gymnastics ladder with some not so practiced movements like pirouettes, cartwheels on a beam and bar overs. (see video) Melia shined in this event doing so many pirouettes she made herself dizzy. Event #3 called a conditioning workout was a burner, 4 minutes at each station for max reps, dynamax bike, over and under a scaffolding wall, heavy rope double unders and sand bag shuttle runs (80#/60#). This was an exercise in mental toughness as 4 minutes of each movement was daunting, Zander had an amazing effort on the double unders with over 100+ in 4 min. There were 2 floater wods #1 was 1 min to do 20 burpees and throw 5 spears at a target and max cleans in 2 min, you pick the weight on the bar and score is a work calculation based on height and body weight. Over all this was a daunting test of fitness in many categories that gives us focus on what things we need to work on. We capped of Saturday with a celebratory shot of tequila and left Sacramento humbled by the experience.
Great job to all our competitiors!

Max L-hang collected in a 5 minute period.
Just because I know the question is coming in class (are these power or squat cleans), I'll answer it now. You're sets of rep should be heavy enough that you have to squat clean. Your sets of 10 should start as power cleans and as you get through you might go to a squat clean out of necessity.
